This study presents a strong argument against the doctrine of the Trinity, asserting it is a pagan, man-made concept with no true basis in the Bible. It explains that believers in this doctrine frequently employ biblical texts that are often used as "proof texts" for the Trinity, such as Matthew 28:19 (the Great Commission) and 1 John 5:7-8 (the Comma Johanneum), which are either misinterpreted or contain evidence of scribal tampering. Furthermore, this article maintains that scripture consistently teaches monotheism and that the Holy Spirit is the active presence or shared mind of the Father and Son, not a separate, distinct divine person. Finally, this study contends that Jesus Christ is the divine Son of God, begotten by the Father, but not the same as the Father, who alone is the single Godhead.
