The Omega Apostasy

Sunday woirshippers quote Scriptures that allude to Sunday, but there are not direct statements like the ones that support the seventh-day Sabbath like "And God blessed the seventh day..." Gen. 2:3. The same is true of the Trinity. There are those that use Scriptures to ALLUDE to God being a Trinity but no direct statements like the ones that say God is the Father (John 17:3, 1 Cor. 8:6, 2 Cor. 1:2, Eph. 1:2; 4:6, James 3:9, 1Pet. 1:3, etc.) And there are many more.

Well said, Steve. That's the point I was trying to make. You said it better than I did. Thanks.

The fundamental essential doctrines of the christian faith are not established by hints or allusions. They are direct utterances of inspiration. Like you said, Steve, just because the New Testament mentions the first day of the week a grand total of 8 times doesn't prove that God's Sabbath was transferred from the 7th day to the 1st day. Out of those 8 passages, not one time is it established in scripture that Sunday is the Lord's Day. Not one time! On the other hand, there are a multitude of scriptures which teach us that God's holy day is the 7th day, one of them being smack in the center of God's moral law of ten commandments. The same thing applies to the doctrine of the trinity. There's no clear teaching of the trinity any more than there is on the Sunday sabbath. They are just allusions, actually DELUSIONS for folks read in their pre-conceived ideas into those texts and build up a doctrine and then set up a creed and then demand that all people follow them. Isn't that rediculous?

The bedrock foundation doctrines of the christian faith are established by direct utterances of inspiration, not by ambiguity and theological wrangling. The doctrine of creation is not hinted or alluded to - it is directly taught. The doctrine of the incarnation is not hinted or alluded to - it is directly taught. The doctrine of the mortality of the soul is not hinted or alluded to - it is directly taught. The doctrine of the 7th day Sabbath is not hinted or alluded to - it is directly taught. The doctrine of the 2300 days is not hinted or alluded to - it is directly taught. The doctrine of the cleansing of the heavenly sanctuary is not hinted or alluded to - it is directly taught. The doctrine of the judgement is not hinted or alluded to - it is directly taught. And finally but most importantly, the doctrine of God is not hinted or alluded to - it is directly taught. And the bible directly tells us that there is but one God, the Father (1 Corinthians 8:6). The bible never tells us that there is but one God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The bible doesn't even hint at that. Something interesting that I've come across: I've met a couple of people over the years that never had any formal religious training and all of them had this one thing in common. They never heard of the trinity concept. From their bibles, they learned that there is one God, the Father. They learned that the Father begot a Son in His express image. They learned that His Spirit was God Himself, His personal presence. They were taught directly from God in His word. I, like many others, on the other hand were taught from day one that God is a trinity. I never understood it but just accepted it because that's what I was taught and that's what all of the learned christians believed and taught as truth. But God has led me, through the study of His word, to unlearn the trinity, and now I realize more than I ever did before, the blessed knowledge and understanding of the magnitude of God's love for me in giving up His only begotten Son - that I may have eternal life and live forever with Him!
