The First and Great Commandment Broken by the Trinity
The word "Trinity" is not in the Bible, and neither is the doctrine for it. The Trinity is the philosophical traditional teaching of God in three persons, which originated in 325 AD by the Catholic church. Philosophy is man's (not God's) explanation or reasoning of things and when referring to the things of God it is called theology. Beware of those things that men teach but cannot be understood from scripture.
Colossians 2:8 KJV Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
"Christian" theologians call the doctrine of the "holy Trinity" the most holy doctrine of the church. The Bible says otherwise.
The First and Great Commandment
Mark 12:28 KJV ¶ And one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning together, and perceiving that he had answered them well, asked him, Which is the first commandment of all? 29 And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:
30 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.
Matthew 22:36 KJV Master, which is the great commandment in the law? 37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
38 This is the first and great commandment.
Deuteronomy 6:4 KJV Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD: 5 And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.
side note: notice how the small caps LORD in the Old Testament passage is quoted by Jesus in the New Testament with capital "L" lower case "ord". They are the same. The LORD of the OT is the Lord of the NT.
How the Teaching of the Trinity breaks the Great Commandment
The first and great commandment begins with "The Lord our God is one Lord". But the Trinity says that there are three separate persons of God but that they are all God. They explain it with a silly diagram.
This completely breaks the first and greatest commandment by separating God into three different gods that are not related one to another. The scriptures do not agree with this for a multitude of reasons. But one example is the name "The LORD" and "the Almighty". It proves that the Father and Jesus are indeed the same person, and one LORD.
The LORD and The Almighty
"The LORD" and "The Almighty" are two parts of God's name that he revealed in the beginning of time.
Genesis 2:4 KJV ¶ These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens,
Exodus 6:3 KJV And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name of God Almighty, but by my name JEHOVAH was I not known to them.
Job was one of the first books penned in the Bible, and the name "Almighty" shows up in his book 57% of the total times in the entire Bible.
Job 40:1 KJV MOREOVER the LORD answered Job, and said, 2 Shall he that contendeth with the Almighty instruct him? he that reproveth God, let him answer it.
The LORD Almighty is, from the beginning, an ancient and well-known name of God the Father.
It is also JESUS' name! (hint: because they are the same person of God)
Revelation of John 1:8 KJV I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.
In that verse, Jesus just said the he is "the Almighty" (check your red letter Bible to see the words in red if you want to). Yes, Amen, he is indeed. The Lord our God is ONE LORD. Jesus is the Father!
John 5:43 KJV I am come in my Father’s name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.
The Trinity breaks the first and great commandment by directly saying that the Father is NOT the Son, when the Bible says he is!
John 14:8 KJV Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us. 9 Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?
I Corinthians 15:47 KJV The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven.
Ephesians 4:4 KJV There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; 5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism, 6 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.
I Corinthians 8:6 KJV But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him. 7 Howbeit there is not in every man that knowledge...
Revelation 1:8, 11 is saying a whole lot because Jesus is revealing (in the book of Revelation...) himself as the Father from different Old Testament passages. (i.e. Revelation 1:11 Cp. Isaiah 44:6 which I have clearly presented in this study: https://videos.graftedbranchministry.org/w/5ord2F3ueoypU15jHoE1DK)
The Whole Point of this Study
The most "holy" doctrine in the professing "Christian" world today (the Trinity) is directly breaking the first and great commandment of God. Most new versions of the Bible (Satan's counterfeit of the pure KJV) completely removed part of I John 5:7 which is a very important passage in which God reveals himself to man.
I John 5:7 KJV For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.
*notice it says, "these three are one" when Trinity opposition teaches they are in one, or of one essence, etc.

Beware of this Teaching that is Spoiling Believers
As Bible believers, we need to obey the great commandment to, "love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength" and keep far away from fellowshipping with this doctrine of devils (Trinity).
I Corinthians 10:20 KJV But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have fellowship with devils. 21 Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord’s table, and of the table of devils. 22 Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? are we stronger than he?
