ExposingThe
Trinity!
The Old Covenant Contradicts the Trinity!
The law pointed only to a human Son!

A Different Approach!
I hope my unorthodox approach will show you how the Trinity doctrine is inadequate to fit what is revealed in the scriptures.
My interest, and hopefully yours, is to find what God is saying, and not what a system of theology is saying! My notes endeavour to show how the scriptures, though profoundly deep, are equally clear and simple to understand if we allow His Spirit to guide us. Whether you agree or not, let us "speak the truth in love". (Eph 4:15)

God's longing was to reconcile humans to Himself by His own Son in place of Adam. The mystery of Christ began with a plan (logos) in Genesis 3:15 of a seed. This was followed by a promise to Abraham. The old covenant to Israel was not this promise but it served as a tutor (trainer of children) to lead us to Christ:
"Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith." (Gal 3:24)
The Law Pointed Only to a Human Son
Because God is not a man and He cannot be, therefore, He could not be the mediator or the sacrifice. Instead, a perfect Son of God who is also a Son of Man would be the perfect choice.
God introduced the whole Law to show the importance of the human SACRIFICE of His Son who was to come.
Here's the story of the old law in a few steps:
Before the law, humans had no clue how God viewed sin.
The old law brought an AWARENESS of sin.
This AWARENESS, brought GUILT!
GUILT brought DEATH.
DEATH needed to be removed!
Only a blood SACRIFICE can remove sin.
The perfect SACRIFICE is a Sinless HUMAN.
Animal sacrifices were permitted under the law only to COVER sins (but not remove them).
Christ was then SACRIFICED.
God's JUSTICE was met (equal life for equal life, Christ for Adam).
Animal sacrifices were ceased.
Sin was REMOVED!
All can now be REDEEMED based on faith in God's redemptive work through Jesus Christ.
A new spiritual birth began by a new covenant through Jesus Christ.
Note how Paul speaks of sin AWARENESS through the Law, in Romans 7:7-8:
“If it had not been for the Law, I would not have recognized sin…For without the Law sin is dead [or the recognition of sin is inactive].” ( Amplified Bible )
Now, it would be silly (and totally illogical) to think that God came to earth and was dishonoured, slaughtered, and killed. Please, think clearly before you accept this.
The whole purpose of the Law was to tutor unaware humans of sin and its consequences in God's eyes. It showed God's plan to remove sin (once and for all) through Christ, the only perfect human redeemer.
And this my friends can only make sense if God and Jesus Christ are fully separate beings, yet working in perfect unity to save us!
