451: Trinity: plural references to God in the Old Testament: Plural ...
This plurality of verbs associated with God, is most striking and unusual to those who read Hebrew. Plural adjectives that describe God: "holy". Again, this is a function of Hebrew grammar that does not exist in English. The plurality of adjectives ... We have no doubt that Paul would point out the six passages where God is refereed to with plural pronouns. (Us, Our) God's oneness is conveyed by personal pronouns like He, Him, His, I, Myself, Me. The trinity is witnessed in the Old Testament by personal pronouns like Us, Ours. C. The apostolic Fathers unanimously taught that the "Us" in Gen 1:26, refers to the trinity: 74 AD Epistle of Barnabas: "For the Scripture says concerning us, while He speaks to the Son, "Let Us make man after Our ...

454: Pentecostal tries to defend manifestions with Scripture

Her interpretation of this passage is as ridiculous as the manifestations themselves: Don't worship me while literally drunk, RATHER LET THE HOLY SPIRIT MAKE YOU ONLY APPEAR LIKE A DRUNKARD when you worship God. How absolutely shameful!!! Shaking or Jerking The person may shake Vigorously or jerk suddenly. This is a physical reaction to the presence of God.

457: Beliefs of the Quakers (Shaking Quakers, Shakers, Friends)
Quakers (Friends) beliefs are a little hard to quantify, since Friends do not believe in having a fixed Creed or Dogma, but rather in seeking for the leadings of God within ourselves.

460: Paine, L. L., A Critical History Of The Evolution Of Trinitarianism
the great text of Jewish monotheism: 'Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God is one God.'" (L. L. Paine, A Critical History Of The Evolution Of Trinitarianism, p 4, as quoted in, Should you believe the Trinity?, Watchtower publication) Our comment: Although Paine is a Bible trasher, much of what he says in irrelevant to the discussion, as Trinitarians agree that there was a progression of doctrine from the Old to the New Testaments. In the same way that final resurrection and judgement were not present in the Old Testament but expanded in the New, so too with the doctrine of God. After all Gen 1 says, "Let us make man in Our image". So the seeds of trinity are clearly present! Paine was a Bible trasher, who rejected inspiration of God's Word!
