Instruct me, O Jehovah, about your way. I shall walk in your truth. Unify my heart to fear your name. Psalmss 86:11, [New World Translation Revised; NWTR]
Let’s face it, If we are experiencing inner conflict on account of our imperfection, may love move us to pray as did the Psalmsist above. Let us be determined to resist the Devil’s efforts to distance us from our loving heavenly Father and those he approves. Work diligently to “Therefore, become imitators of God, as beloved children, 2 and go on walking in love, just as the Christ also loved YOU and delivered himself up for YOU as an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling odor.” Ephesians 5:1-2, [NWTR]
Matthew 14:33 Then they that were in the ship came and worshipped him, saying, Of a truth thou art the Son of God. {Authorized King James, AV]
Matthew 14:33 But those in the ship came and did homage to him, saying, Truly thou art God's Son. [The Darby Version, DV]
Here are the comments of some world renown Bible scholars:
They were growing in appreciation of the person and power of Christ from the attitude in Mark 8:27. They will soon be ready for the confession of Mark 16:16. Already they can say: "Truly God's Son thou art." The absence of the article here allows it to mean a Son of God as in Mark 27:54 (the centurion). But they probably mean "the Son of God" as Jesus was claiming to them to be. [Robertson's Word Pictures of the New Testament]
Thou art the Son of God - They mean, the Messiah. [John Wesley's Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible". 1765]
They that were in the ship came and worshipped him. Not only did they approach him with an outward unforbidden gesture of worship, "but they avowed him, for the first time collectively, to be the Son of God." [Johnson, Barton W. "Commentary on Matthew 14". "People's New Testament".. 1891].
Now as can clearly be seen from both the Scriptures above taken from two different Bibles each with a very different style of translation and from the Commentaries of three (3) renown Bible scholars of different ages and beliefs, Jesus (Yeshua) is clearly recognized as being the Son of God (YHWH) and not his Father, Almighty God (YHWH). Clearly this reorganization of Jesus (Yeshua) as the Son of God (Truly thou art God's Son.-Darby Version, DV) and not God the Son shows the Trinity is clearly false dogma. It should be avoided like the plague by all true worshippers of Almighty God (YHWH) as it is the Devils trick to mislead people into dishonoring God (YHWH).instead of the Son of God. You can hunt in vain all the known English, Spanish, Latin, German, etc. translations, yet they all clearly testify at Matthew 14:33 that Jesus Christ (Yeshua) is clearly the Son of God and NOT God the Son as would have to be the case for the doctrine of the Trinity to be so.

He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. 1 John 4:8 [American Standard Version; ASV]
Genuine love for family and for neighbor is what distinguish genuine followers of Jesus (Yeshua) Christ from the multitude of believers in false religions. When love does not exist within the family circle, terrible atrocities occur. Here is an example of one case of tragedy occurring due to lack of love and caring within the family circle.
“Pakistan woman stoned to death by family for marrying man she loved By Mubasher Bukhari6 hours ago.
LAHORE Pakistan (Reuters) - A 25-year-old woman was stoned to death by her family outside one of Pakistan's top courts on Tuesday in a so-called "honor" killing for marrying the man she loved, police said.
Farzana Iqbal was waiting for the High Court in the eastern city of Lahore to open when a group of around dozen men began attacking her with bricks, said Umer Cheema, a senior police officer.
Her father, two brothers and former fiance were among the attackers, he said. Iqbal suffered severe head injuries and was pronounced dead in hospital, police said.
All the suspects except her father escaped. He admitted killing his daughter, Cheema said, and explained it was a matter of honor. Many Pakistani families think a woman marrying her own choice of man brings dishonor on the family.
Iqbal had been engaged to her cousin but married another man, Cheema said. Her family registered a kidnapping case against him but Iqbal had come to court to argue that she had married of her own free will, he said.
Around 1,000 Pakistani women are killed every year by their families in honor killings, according to Pakistani rights group the Aurat Foundation.
The true figure is probably many times higher since the Aurat Foundation only compiles figures from newspaper reports. The government does not compile national statistics.
Campaigners say few cases come to court, and those that do can take years to be heard. No one tracks how many cases are successfully prosecuted.
Even those that do result in a conviction may end with the killers walking free. Pakistani law allows a victim's family to forgive their killer.”
Matthew 26:63 “But Jesus held his peace. And the high priest answered and said unto him, I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us whether thou be the Christ, the Son of God.” [KJB-Authorized King James Bible, AV]
Matthew 26:63 “But Jesus was silent. And the high priest answering said to him, I adjure thee by the living God that thou tell us if *thou* art the Christ the Son of God.” [The Darby Translation, DT]
Now we can see from Matthew 26:63 that Jesus (Yeshua) clearly is the Son of God and this is clearly confirmed by two translations which have very different translation styles. Now let's see what one renown Bible scholar has to say on this scripture to get additional insight.
"The Lord had finished His discourses. He prepares (chap. 26) to suffer, and to make His last and touching adieus to His disciples, at the table of His last passover on earth, at which He instituted, the simple and precious memorial which recalls His sufferings and His love with such profound interest. This part of our Gospel requires little explanation-not, assuredly, that it is of less interest, but because it needs to be felt rather than explained.
With what simplicity the Lord announces that which was to happen! (v. 2). He had already arrived at Bethany, six days before the passover (John 12:1): there He abode, with the exception of the last supper, until He was taken captive in the garden of Gethsemane, although He visited Jerusalem, and partook of His last meal there.
We have already examined the discourses uttered during those six days, as well as His actions, such as the cleansing of the temple. That which precedes this chapter (26) is either the manifestation of His rights as Emmanuel, King of Israel, or that of the judgment of the great King with respect to the people-a judgment expressed in discourses to which the people could make no answer; or, finally, the condition of His disciples during His absence. We have now His submission to the sufferings appointed Him, to the judgment about to be executed upon Him; but which was, in truth, only the fulfilment of the counsels of God His Father, and of the work of His own love." [John Darby's Synopsis of the New Testament]
Now we noted in all the above Scriptures it calls Jesus Christ (Yeshua) the Son of God; interesting since if the Trinity was true, it would read God the Son instead of the Son of God. The renown Bible scholar, John Darby, clearly stated, "We have now His submission to the sufferings appointed Him, to the judgment about to be executed upon Him; but which was, in truth, only the fulfilment of the counsels of God His Father, and of the work of His own love." This clearly shows that this Son, Jesus (Yeshua), had a Father (YHWH) that he loved and was obedient to and he was NOT the same personage as his Father (YHWH) as the Devil has miss-lead many into believing. That many were miss-lead is not surprising as the Bible clearly stated, Matthew 22:14 “For many are called ones, but few chosen ones. [The Darby Translation, DT]."

[2] SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY [809B]
For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.1 John 5:3, [AUTHORIZED KING JAMES BIBLE; AV]
Almighty God (YHWH) is the only Person with absolute freedom. Yet he never misuses it nor does he monopolize freedom by micromanaging his servants. Instead, he has given them free will, which allows them to use initiative and satisfy all their proper desires. For example, Almighty God (YHWH) gave Adam and Eve only one restrictive command – the prohibition against eating from “the tree of knowledge of good and bad.” (Genesis 2:17) What an amazing degree of freedom they had in carrying out their Creator’s will!
[3] Here is a Commentary on Bountiful Trees and Vegetables God (YHWH) has provided for mankind, specifically the Hoja santa, Piper auritum, is an aromatic herb with a heart-shaped, velvety leaf which grows in tropic Mesoamerica. The name hoja santa means "sacred leaf" in Spanish.[2] It is also known as yerba santa, [3] Mexican pepperleaf,[4] acuyo,[4] tlanepa,[4]anisillo,[4] root beer plant,[2] and sacred pepper.[1]
Description
The leaves can reach up to 30 centimeters (12 in) or more in size. The complex flavor of hoja santa is not so easily described; it has been compared to eucalyptus,[5][6] licorice,[2][7] sassafras,[3][8] anise,[4][9] nutmeg,[4] mint,[10][11] tarragon,[5] and black pepper.[4] The flavor is stronger in the young stems and veins.
It is native to the Americas, from northern South America to Mexico, and is also cultivated in southeast Florida.
Usage
It is often used in Mexican cuisine for tamales, the fish or meat wrapped in fragrant leaves for cooking, and as an essential ingredient in mole verde, the green sauce originated in the Oaxaca region of Mexico.[3] It is also chopped to flavor soups, such as pozole, and eggs.[12] In Central Mexico, it is used to flavor chocolate drinks.[4] In southeastern Mexico, a green liquor called Verdín is made from hoja santa.[13] It is also used for tea. American cheesemaker Paula Lambert created "Hoja santa cheese", goat cheese wrapped with the hoja santa leaves and impregnated with its flavor.[8][10] While typically used fresh, it is also used in dried form, although drying removes much of the flavor and makes the leaf too brittle to be used as a wrapper.[14]
The essential oils within the leaf are rich in safrole, a substance also found in sassafras, which has been shown to be carcinogenic in animals. In 1960, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration banned sassafras bark along with sassafras oil and safrole as flavoring agents because of their carcinogenic properties[12] and the Council of Europe imposed the same ban in 1974,[15] although toxicological studies show that humans do not process safrole into its carcinogenic metabolite.[16]

Matthew 27:40 And saying, Thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days, save thyself. If thou be the Son of God, come down from the cross. [Authorized King James Bible - AV]
The renown Apostle Paul stated that God sent his Son, Jesus Yeshua), to redeem all under the law:
Galatians 4:4-8 “But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons. And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ. Howbeit then, when ye knew not God, ye did service unto them which by nature are no gods.” [AV]
As we have seen from these scriptures, God not only sent his Son, Jesus (Yeshua), to redeem us, but the Spirit of his Son into the hearts of believers "because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ. " As we can see the scripture clearly says Son of God and not God the Son so obviously the Trinity can not be true since for it to be so the scripture would have to say God the Son and it does not say this in any translation. Also, as we have seen the renown Apostle Paul shows that God (YHWH) sent his Son to redeem us which is clearly showing not one, but two separate spirit individuals. One, the superior, Almighty God (YHWH), having sent the other, his Son, Jesus (Yeshua), to redeem us. So Paul's words give double reinforcement to the fact that the Trinity is FALSE DOCTRINE.

This, therefore, I say and bear witness to in [the] Lord, that YOU no longer go on walking just as the nations also walk in the unprofitableness of their minds, 18 while they are in darkness mentally, and alienated from the life that belongs to God, because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the insensibility of their hearts. 19 Having come to be past all moral sense, they gave themselves over to loose conduct to work uncleanness of every sort with greediness. 20 But YOU did not learn the Christ to be so, 21 provided, indeed, that YOU heard him and were taught by means of him, just as truth is in Jesus, Ephesians 4:17-21, [New World Translation Revised; NWTR].
It is important that we realize that Satan the Devil, the one who first disrupted universal peace, will strongly oppose our efforts to do Almighty God’s (YHWH) will. No doubt Satan’s purposes are served as the divorce rate soars, marriage is dispensed with in favor of living together, and marriages between homosexuals are tolerated. We do not pattern our behavior or attitudes after trends observed in modern society; Christ is our model as brought out in the scripture above. Thus, we are admonished to at Ephesians 6:10-13, “Finally, go on acquiring power in [the] Lord and in the mightiness of his strength. 11 Put on the complete suit of armor from God that YOU may be able to stand firm against the machinations of the Devil; 12 because we have a wrestling, not against blood and flesh, but against the governments, against the authorities, against the world rulers of this darkness, against the wicked spirit forces in the heavenly places. 13 On this account take up the complete suit of armor from God, that YOU may be able to resist in the wicked day and, after YOU have done all things thoroughly, to stand firm.” [NWTR]
Matthew 27:43 He trusted in God; let him deliver him now, if he will have him: for he said, I am the Son of God. [Authorized King James Bible - [AV]
The renown Apostles Matthew and Paul clearly show that Jesus (Yeshua) was doing the will of his Father (YHWH) and that every knee should bow to the Father (YHWH) of Jesus (Yeshua). This clearly delineates why we should trust in the Father (YHWH) of Jesus (Yeshua). Now let's look at two of the writings of these renown Apostles showing that Jesus (Yeshua) did the will of his Father (YHWH):
“For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.” [Matthew 12:50 -[AV] by the renown Apostle Matthew.
“According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord: In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him. Wherefore I desire that ye faint not at my tribulations for you, which is your glory. For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,” [Ephesians 3:11-14 - AV] by the renown Apostle Paul.
As we have seen from these scriptures, Jesus is God's (YHWH's) Son, and he is an obedient Son always doing the will of his Father (YHWH). He, Jesus (Yeshua) made it clear that whosoever "shall do the will of my Father [YHWH]" in Heaven is part of his 'family' and this was in response to some in the time he was on earth pointing out that some of his literal family on earth was present. He did this to make the important point that all followers of his should be doing the will of his Father (YHWH) in Heaven just as he, Jesus (Yeshua) was doing the will of his Father (YHWH). He made this even clearer as shown by the renown Apostle Paul in his writing in Ephesians when he wrote, "For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ" to show the reverence that all followers of Jesus (Yeshua) should show to Jesus' Father (YHWH). This clearly delineated two important facts, first, that Jesus (Yeshua) was doing not his own will, but the will of his Father (YHWH); but second, they were two separate and distinct beings and not a duality or trinity of any kind. Of course this fact was made quite clear in Matthew 27:43 since it reads, "Son of God," and not God the Son as would be required for a duality or trinity doctrine to be true. Therefore, it is clear that the Trinity is false dogma just the same as the Cather's belief in a Duality false doctrine.

I have not sat with men of untruth; and with those who hide what they are I do not come in. Psalms 26:4, [New World Translation Revised: NWRT]
He that is walking with wise persons will become wise, but he that is having dealings with the stupid ones will fare badly. Proverbs 13:20
Bad associations spoil useful habits. 1 Corinthians 15:33.
Now what valuable lessons can we learn form these three scriptures? (1) Almighty God (YHWH) wants us to be selective about our associates. He wants to protect us morally and spiritually. (2) We are influenced for good or for bad by the people with whom we associate; that is a simply a fact of life. The way the scriptures above are worded shows that Almighty God (YHWH) is appealing to our heart. How so? Notice that none of the scriptures are set out as rules, such as ‘you must not…’ Rather they are written as plain statements of truth. In effect, Almighty God (YHWH) is saying to us: ‘here are the facts. How will you respond? What is your heart?’
Finally, because the three verses are set out as basic truths, they are timeless and have a very broad application.
Matthew 27:54 Now when the centurion, and they that were with him, watching Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those things that were done, they feared greatly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God. [Authorized King James - [AV]
Matthew 27:54 Now the centurion and they that were with him watching Jesus, having seen the earthquake and the things that were done, were sore afraid, saying: Indeed this was the Son of God. [Douay-Rheims Catholic Bible]
Matthew 27:54 But the centurion, and they who were with him on guard over Jesus, seeing the earthquake and the things that took place, feared greatly, saying, Truly this [man] was Son of God. [The Darby Translation]
As can be seen from the three different Bible translations above, they all basically say the same thing in slightly different words, but all clearly state that Jesus (Yeshua) is without question, the Son of God. Now let's see what a renown Bible scholar has to say with regard this scripture:
"The resurrection of the dead, over whom the king of terrors had no more right, displayed the efficacy of the death of Christ for sinners, and the power of His resurrection. Judaism is over for those that have faith, and the power of death also. The veil is rent. The grave gives up its prey; He is Lord of the dead and of the living.
There is yet another especial testimony to the mighty power of His death, to the import of that word, "If I be lifted up from the earth, I will draw all men unto me." The centurion who was on guard at the crucifixion of the Lord, seeing the earthquake and those things that were done, trembling, confesses the glory of His Person; and, stranger as he is to Israel, renders the first testimony of faith among Gentiles: "Truly this was the Son of God." [Darby, John. "Commentary on Matthew 27". "John Darby's Synopsis of the New Testament"].<<for information on this scholar, visit http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/stem_publishing/jndarby.htm l>>
It is readily apparent that John Darby took no exception to Jesus (Yeshua) being the Son of God as he stated in his commentary as given above, "Truly this was the Son of God." Now if Jesus (Yeshua) truly be the Son of God as testified to in Matthew 27:54 and NOT God the Son the trinity is clearly false doctrine. Therefore, Bishop Arius of Alexander was correct when he denied that biblical Jesus was of the same substance or being as his Hebrew father god Yahweh.and Bishop Atheneus who maintained they were of the same substance or being was in gross error. Why did Bishop Atheneus error so badly? To curry political favor of a none-Christian Emperor Constantine [a worshipper of the unconquered sun] who wanted religious unity to further solidify his empire. Since the none-Christian religions believed in 'three Gods in one'; to wit, of one substance or being, he, Emperor Constantine wanted the so called Christian church [Catholic] to adopt a similar concept or dogma so as to bring religious unity to his empire. He accomplished this by banishing Bishop Arius and backing Bishop Atheneus. <<For those who want more information, visit, http://www.geocities.com/RainForest/8016/history.html AND http://divinity.library.vanderbilt.edu/burns/2701/Arius.html >> Therefore, it is easy to see that the doctrine of the trinity, i.e., the belief of three gods of one substance or body was wrestled into so called Christianity to further the political interest of Emperor Constantine not TRUTH.
