What is the Unholy Trinity?

The churches teach--:"There are three divine Persons (the Father, the Son, the Holy Ghost), each said to be eternal, each said to be almighty, none greater or less than another, each said to be God, and yet together being but one God. Other statements of the dogma emphasize that these three �Persons� are not separate and distinct individuals but are three modes in which the divine essence exists"and is not a Bible teaching.

Here is why it is an "unholy" Trinity--

Jesus said that he is God's Son and that the Father sent me forth, (John 10:36; 6:57) Jesus himself acknowledged: The Father is greater than I am. (John 14:28; 8:28) Therefore Jesus is NOT equal with the Father, as the Trinity doctrine says. He was created by God and is subordinate to Him.Colossians 1:15; 1 Corinthians 11:3.

The origin of the Trinity is entirely pagan. The paganism in our Christianity.

It is degrading to Almighty God to call anyone his equal, and even worse to call Mary the Mother of God", the doctrine dishonors God, that is why it is unholy.

Answer

I find no evidence in scripture to an Unholy Trinity, this would appear to be a man made term. It would suggest to some, that if there be a Holy Trinity then there must be an Unholy Trinity. This is contrary to gospel teachings. To my learned friends who say that Christ is not equal with the Father, may I remind them that the Father gave authority to the Son to act in His name. Did not Christ say "As ye see me do so doeth the Father"(paraphrased). Was it not God who gave His son authority to come down and create (organise) the world? Though Christ is the first born son of God, not only in the spirit world but in the flesh, He is only equal in authority and not, I have no doubt,in knowledge.

Answer

The term "Unholy Trinity" is used often to refer to a set of 3 entities that are considered evil. This is in contrast, of course, to the Holy Trinity of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

From a Biblical point of view, the Unholy Trinity usually refers to the three individuals who play an important part of end-times prophecies: Satan, the Anti-Christ, and the False Prophet.

The Unholy, or Impossible, Trinity is also an economic term indicating that one cannot have a fixed exchange rate, free capital movement, and an independent monetary policy at the same time. See the Wikipedia Article on Impossible Trinity for more details.

In response to this alleged Christian "paganism"

Christianity is not pagan, as you have heard it wrong, though I do not doubt that you are telling it how you see it and how you heard it and how you believe it to be.

The Father, the Son, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit are all equal parts of the Trinity, which is also called the Godhead. This is how this seemingly contradictory system works out.

Each Member of the Trinity is equal to man, but within the Trinity, there is a system of subordination. The Holy Spirit assists the Son, and the Son of God, Jesus, assists and follows the divine plan of the Father, though they are One to us.
