Why We Are Not Trinitarian: A Scripture-Centered Teaching on Yeshua

A Scripture-centered teaching on Yeshua as the Messiah and Son of God, examining Acts 2, the Trinity, the Nicene Creed, Nicaea, and the first-century gospel proclaimed by the apostles.

What did the apostles actually preach about Yeshua, Yahweh, and the gospel?

In this teaching, we return to the first-century witness of Scripture—especially Acts 2—to examine the identity of Yeshua as the Messiah, the Son of the living God. We also look at the later historical development of the Trinity, the Nicene Creed, and the difference between apostolic faith and fourth-century doctrine.

Rather than beginning with later creeds or councils, this message asks a simple question: what did Peter and the apostles make central when they proclaimed the gospel?

The Name of YHVH

The history of spoken Hebrew, how to pronounce the Name YHVH, what the Name means, and how to keep the third commandment.

Excerpt: Hebrew was only spoken by Rabbis or a sparse amount of people. It was a dead language in 1881 and had been dead since biblical times. It died on purpose, after the Romans destroyed Judea and scattered the Jews and original Christians all over the place. Those dedicated to the Torah made the conscious decision to preserve it as best they could. It was not standardized but it did exist in the Yeshiva for reading Hebrew Torah scrolls and some families kept it going. So there was enough for Ben Yehuda to start it coming back, so Israel could have it’s own language. He did this as a nationalistic thing, not a religious thing. The religious leaders shunned him, saying that when it was time for Hebrew to come back, Yahweh would do it. He was motivated by Italy and Greece, who had recently restored their lands and languages. He wanted Hebrew to become the language of his people so they could be a people. And it succeeded.
