Christian Evangelists use deception in "Trinitarian" Claims

All devoted Christians believe that the inimitability of the Christian religion is founded in its message that “The Father is God; the Son is God; the Holy Spirit is God. Yet there are not three Gods, but only One God.” They also believe that Jesus Christ (pbuh) died on the cross for our sins and was resurrected on the third day; thus, it is impossible for them to imagine that the language of the New Testament is full of errors regarding this issue. They think that the New Testament is an accurate account of Jesus’ death and resurrection and it does not contain a single doubt regarding this issue. They think the New Testament has not changed in its core message since its most similar compilation in 367 c.e.* Their argument is that the New Testament writers were inspired by God and that the numerous Papyri prove the New Testament true and its accuracy impeccable. They claim that the New Testament contains a kind of divine inspiration that was impossible to have been fabricated by men of that time. This is also a proof that the Trinity is the word of God !!!! " They claim that the Papyri clearly support the concept of the Trinity?

BUT IS IT REALLY TRUE ?

I have read the Papyri several times with a free mind and I saw just the opposite picture what my Evangelical "scholars" claim. I don't want to explain anything about the Textual Variants of the New Testament or The Origins of the New Testament here, because many discerning words have already been spent on this issue. At first glance I wondered whether it is really true that the Papyri holds such kind of precise historical information on the Christian Trinity that render it impossible for the Trinity to be developed by the subsequent Christian councils such as Nicea in 325 c.e.? To examine such a hypothesis, I did not have to go for grandiose sayings like "The Word Became Flesh," (if readers are interested in the authors of these sayings, they may refer to my Why-Christians-Convert-To-Islam page ); rather I took some simple verses which exist in today’s New Testament regarding the Trinity and compared it to these ancient Papyri which existed a long time ago (but obviously Papyri that existed before the Council of Nicea in 325 c.e where the Concept of the Trinity was declared); and the simple question is-"Is God Three Persons in One?." My enquiry is:

DO THE PAPYRI SUPPORT THIS DOCTRINE ?

While it is true that the Papyri are littered with references to Jesus being called the Son of God, the question is do the Papyri contain the critical verses which CLEARLY AND DECISIVELY illustrate the Trinity as being a combined God? To test this hypothesis I took the FOUR most CONVINCING verses contained in the New Testament that CLEARLY AND DECISIVELY illustrates the Trinity as being a combined God and compared to see if they were contained in the Papyri!!!!

Verses in Today’s New Testament:

1) Matthew 28:19 “Therefore go, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, ²⁰teaching them to observe all things that I commanded you. Behold, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." Amen.

2) 2 Corinthians 13:14 “The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit, be with you all. Amen

3) 1 John 5:7-8 ⁷For there are three who testify: ⁸the Spirit, and the water, and the blood; and the three agree as one.

1 John 5:7-8 ⁷For there are three who testify in heaven: ⁸the father, the word, and the holy spirit; and these three are one.

(Some Bibles contain the second translation)

4) 1 John 5:20 ²⁰We know that the Son of God has come, and has given us an understanding, that we know him who is true, and we are in him who is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.

DO THE PAPYRI CONTAIN THESE VERSES?

ABSOLUTELY NOT!!!

I was SHOCKED to find that NONE of the above verses were in the Papyri. In fact, I found a GRUESOME DISCOVERY surrounding these verses. Not only could I not locate these verses but it was BLATANTLY OBVIOUS that some of these verses were clear INSERTIONS that never existed in the original text!!!!!

1) -Matthew 28:19 (see below) has never been found in any Papyri!!!!!

2) -P46 (see below) contains all verses preceding and following 2 Corinthians 13:14 except for verse 14!!!!!!.

-P99 (see below) stops at 2 Corinthians 13:11!!!!!!!!

3) -P74 (see below) does not contain 1 John 5:7-8!!!!!!!

4) -P74 (see below) does not contain 1 John 5:20!!!!!!!!

It is obvious that the evangelists are using nothing but deception and “Hocus Pocus,” TODAY YOU SEE IT…BACK THEN YOU DON’T!!!!!!!!

The Fact to the matter is that the Papyri PROVE that early Christianity was most definitely a POLYTHEISTIC RELIGION!!!!!! The following verse proves this!!!!!

4) –P101 (see below) contains Matthew 3:16-17 As soon as Jesus was baptized, he went up out of the water. At that moment heaven was opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and lighting on him. And a voice from heaven said. “This is my Son, whom I love: with him I am well pleased.”

So now we see the original claim fall flat on its face!! The New Testament Papyri does not really say that they are three and at the same time one but rather there are three separate Gods in three different places. This clearly proves that original Christians believed in a Polytheistic THREE GOD religion that was not rectified but for BLATANT INSERTIONS as noted above in an attempt to correct this belief!!!!!!!!!!!
