7. The self revelation, in the Old Testament, that only Yahweh (who is one person) is God.
“To you it was shown, that you might know that the LORD [Yahweh] Himself is God; there is none other beside Him.” (Deuteronomy 4:35)
“Now see that I, even I, am He, and there is no God beside Me.”
(Deuteronomy 32:39)
“O LORD [Yahweh] of hosts, God of Israel, the One who dwells between the cherubim, You are
God, You alone . . .” (Isaiah 37:16)
“You are My witnesses,” says the LORD [Yahweh], and My servant whom I have chosen, that you may know and believe Me, and understand that I am He. Before Me there was no God formed, nor shall there be after Me. I, even I, am the LORD
[Yahweh].” (Isaiah 43:10, 11)
“I am the LORD [Yahweh], and there is no other; There is no God besides Me. For thus says the LORD [Yahweh], who created the heavens, who is God, who formed the earth and made it, who did not create it in vain, who formed it to be inhabited: I am the LORD [Yahweh], and there is no other.” (Isaiah 45:5, 18)
“But the LORD [Yahweh] is the true God; He is the living God and the everlasting King . . .”
(Jeremiah 10:10)
“And the LORD [Yahweh] shall be King over all the earth. And in that day it shall be—The LORD
is one, and His name one.” (Zechariah 14:9)
The doctrine of the Trinity is not the teaching of the Old Testament, the Scriptures that the Lord Jesus Christ used. It is a corruption of the clear and simple truth that there is one true God and one person, alone, who is God. The teaching of one God in three persons is not a firm foundation for our faith. It is a shell game that hides the glory of the one true God in the garments of Platonic paganism.
