Lohse, Bernard: A Short History of Christian Doctrine ... With these affirmations, which for Jewish monotheism were utterly offensive, Christians expressed their faith that it was not merely some heavenly being which encountered them in Jesus Christ, but God himself, and that because of this, his coming, especially his cross and his resurrection, had meaning for the entire world. The New Testament affirmations about the Holy Spirit are not so clear and univocal as those about Jesus Christ. ... How vividly the early church experienced the reality of the Spirit, and how definitely it was influenced by that reality, can be seen on every hand in the Pauline letters. The Spirit is called the Spirit of God, as well as the Spirit of Christ (Rom. 8:9)., Here, too, however, the Spirit is not yet conceived in personal terms, at least not in the sense of the later doctrine of the Trinity. The New Testament is not satisfied, however, with these sometimes rather far-reaching assertions about God the Father, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit. Some passages ... ... https://www.bible.ca/trinity/trinity-Lohse.htm

Biblical Trinity is not borrowed from the pagans! ... Arianism; they regard Arius as a forerunner of Charles Taze Russell, the founder of their movement. (Encyclopedia Britannica, 1979, Arianism, Vol. I, p.509) The basic concern of Arius was and remained disputing the oneness of essence of the Son and the Holy Spirit with God the Father, in order to preserve the oneness of God. The Son, thus, became a "second God, under God the Father"-i.e., he is God only in a figurative sense, for he belongs on the side of the creatures, even if at their highest summit. ...

Douglas, J. D. & Bruce F. F.: New Bible Dictionary ... John the Baptist, more especially, was conscious of the presence and calling of the Spirit, and it is probable that his preaching had a trinitarian reference: he called for repentance towards God, faith in the coming Messiah, and spoke of a baptism of the Holy Spirit, of which his baptism with water was a symbol. The agency of the Spirit in the incarnation is disclosed to Mary (Lk. i. 35), together with the intimation that the Son born of her would be called 'the Son of the Highest', and that 'the Lord God (would) give unto him the throne of his father David'. Thus the Father and the Spirit were disclosed as operating in the incarnation of the Son. At the baptism in the Jordan the three Persons can be distinguished: the Son being baptized, the Father speaking from heaven, and the Spirit descending in the objective symbol of a dove. Jesus, having thus received the witness of the Father and the Spirit, received authority to baptize with the Holy Spirit.

Biblical Trinitarians teach that the Divine, eternally pre-existent Jesus, is subordinate to the Father. The Athanasius creed is nothing more than human attempts to describe the raw Biblical data of the trinity, namely the deity of Christ and the personality of the Holy Spirit.

The office of Elders, pastors and bishops ... You yourselves also know, Philippians, that at the first preaching of the gospel, after I left Macedonia, no church shared with me in the matter of giving and receiving but you alone; for even in Thessalonica you sent a gift more than once for my needs. Not that I seek the gift itself, but I seek for the profit which increases to your account. But I have received everything in full and have an abundance; I am amply supplied, having received from Epaphroditus what you have sent, a fragrant aroma, an acceptable sacrifice, well-pleasing to God. And my God will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:14-19 VI. The Limit of the Elder's Authority A.

Trinity: plural references to God in the Old Testament: Plural ... ... Therefore Jesus cannot be an angel, but we begotten at his resurrection as Acts 13:33 says, thereby fulfilling Ps 2:7.

Trinity proof texts: Isaiah 45:23-24 = Philippians 2:9-11 Suddenly someone says the name "JESUS" and everyone falls to their knees to the Father but not Jesus. And everyone confesses the name of the Father but shows no respect to the name Jesus. The obvious truth is, that at the name of Jesus, every knee bows TO JESUS and every one confesses that JESUS' NAME as Lord! The expression "to the glory of God" certainly does not mean that they are bowing to the Father. The act of bowing to Jesus brings glory to God, just like "accepting one another brings glory to God" Rom 15:7; and "our eating or drinking or whatever we do brings glory to the Father" (1 Cor 10:31); or "Let your light shine before men (our actions) in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven." Mt 5:16. There is no avoiding the forceful conclusion that every knee will bow to Jesus! Just as Isaiah 45:23-24 prophesied!
