There is none in heathen= ism; and in the Romen church, a8 Chrict ie a very physical part of Sod, the deity, it tecomes nscessary to invent 2 multitude of human aedistors, the Virgin Mary, Peter, Andrew, etc. and a multitude of uanvfactured saints, a band of immortal souls of dead men and women. Jesue has become so fully and literally a component part of the great Vere judge who delights in eternal torment, according to the Roman teaching of the Trinity, that they must find or mamufacture a multi- fude of human spiritualietic mediatore.

In Job 17:21,23, "That they (hie disciples) all may be one ae thou father art in me and I in Thee that they aleo may te one in ue...that they may te one even as we are one." Jeeus knew, and we know, the disciples were NCT OFF preeny,and that represented the unity of the Father and the eon. They could not from Chriet's own word be "ore person".

The wnity that existe between Chriet and Fis dieciplee does rot destroy the personality of either. Theyare one in purrose, in mind, in character, tut YOT IN PFREON, IT If THE TAT GOD AND CERIST ARF ONE." Fld. Prescott squarely contradicte the words of Jesue in the Pible and the worde of the Holy epirit of Prophecy when he states that they are "one person". Satan has teken some heathen concep— tion of a three-beaded monstroaity, and with deliberate intention to cast contempt upon divinity, has woven it into Romaniem ae our glorious God, ar impoesitle, ateurd invention. This monstrous doctrine traneplanted from heatheniem into tke Roman Papal Churob is seeking to intrude ite evél presence into the teachinge of the Third Angel's Message. Qn Page 8 of the printed seraon ty Fld. Preezott is this statement: "Re can rot regard the three persone of the Godhead ae separatle beinge, each one dwelling in and confined to a vieibie tody the eame as three human beinge. "There are three persons in the Godhead but they are eo mysteriovely and indlesolvbly related to each other that the presence of each one ie equivalent to the presence of the othere." This 1e the doctrine of the Trinity ae expressed in the statement already quoted from the sermon, Page 1, that the three, Father, Son and Poly Chost are "YF PFBcoN". He etatee that theyThe Trinity, Pase 4. By J. € Washburn. are YT distinct eeparsts persone tut"One Pereon" and"that the presence of eack one ie eqivalent to the presence of the others." Shriet himesif tsactes in John 17:21,22 that the 3 persone of the Jodhead are three "separstle beinge". For the discirplee were Toeparatle teinze", and Trrist ccaparea the unity of the Father and tre Gen with the vnity 2f the diecizlea, urited in perfect unity of heart. Thus this etate t of Fid. Preesoctt's ie ateolutely contrary to Jobe 17:81,33, and T Qor.d:1¢. If tke tescking of this sermon of Fld. Prescott te true, then of couree ae the three, in the doctrine of the Trinity, are ore person, when Ohriet was conceived and born of the Virgin Mary, the Father wae conceived and torr of the Virgin Mary; when Christ ny on the cross dying, the Fatrer hung on the cross dying; when prist lay in Joeeph's new toab the Father lay in Joseph'e new tomb; if the pereon of Ckriet died the person of the Father which is counted one pereon, aleo died; citker the Father and the Holy Bost died when Jeeus died, or Jesve did not die. f Jzeve was act morning the Fa’ ly dead from Friday afternoon to Sunday ie Holy Ghoet were also dead from Friday afterneon to Gunday morning, if Preacott's serzon is correct. Fut Prof. Prescott is very logical. Which horn of this dilemna does be take? I quote from a letter written to me ty Fld. J. F, Anderson, former pastor of Takoma Park Church, dated Jan. 16, 1940, 112 St. Lovie Averue, Fort Worth, Texas: "In anewer to your qeetion as to my conversation with Fld. Prescott, it was after I had spoken on the vicarious sacrifice of Chriet, that he called me and wanted to talk with me atout it. He tried to convince me that Chriet DID Not PIE AS TER gor °F ae I had preached. Ard when he could not conv ; he said, 'T do rot appreciate your leaving me without a Christ for three days and nights’. ward renenber,Fld, Wackburn thie statement wae made after he had taken the position that the Son of Sod did not die tut only the Son of Man." Cther teachere of the Trinity cay that the death of Christ was not vicarious tat oniy bis sufferings. Put the wazes of sin ie DFATE not evffering. Chriet'e suffering alone could not pay the penalty. The Son of God must DIF to pay the penalty of the broken Yaw. For what the law could not do in that it was weak throveh the flesh, God ecnding Fie own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and (oy a ascrifice for ein)(margin) condemned sin in the flesk, that the righteousness of the law might te fulfilled in ue. "-Rom.8:3,4. The Son of God died that the law of God might live in us.TEE TRIVITY, Page 5. By J. 8, Washturn. . If COkriet did not die, we never could keep the law. Fither Christ muet dis or the levy ties in ue. Tht the law might live in @ tke fon of God died. Put the Trinity makes the death of Thriet imrossibie, 2s Prof. Prescott szere to teack, therefore the Roman Trinity destroys the le. To vorder that the Papacy changee and destroys the lax of Sod, and substitutes tradition and huzan works. Ae eteted in the letter from Fic. Andereon, we have the logical bold denial of the death of Cariet, the very foundation of the Gospel - "the eon of Goa did rot die", only the son of man, oniy a humen etonenent, Thie ie the only logical poeition any man Can take “ho telieves the heathen-Roman doctrine of the Trinity, whick ie a twir eleter of eternal torment and ac true and logical ae purgatory and the Sundey Sabbath. No wonder that the Roman papacy ie the orizinal teacher of both doctrines of the Trinity and eternal torment. Very losically tae Roman Jhurch met have rany human mediators tut aleo tary human works to earn aalva~ tion or by purgetory, or the wasc, or ty the torments of self- inflicted runiehment to gain Heaven. Fecavee Zhrist being a part of the one person of the"Trinity" covid not die unless the Father ard Foly Ghost all died with Him, according to trie falee doctrine of the Trinity, if we accept the { Dathoilo Trinity, we met accept that which goea with it, buman mediatore and human worke,for according to Fld. Preecott, the Son of God did not die; he reeerted the idea that the Son of God wae Geved "three dayo and nighte". The Chriet of Prof. Prescott wae not dead but alive from Friday afternoon to Sunday morning. IF TEIE Is £0, 7 NR DEPT BAG NOT FFFY PAID, APD 7E ARE ALL LOST. Thie is the logic of Fld, Preecott's adoption of the Roman doctrine of the Trinity. The Fitle teachee that the Son of God died, as the Son of God. "For if wher we were enemice we were reconciled to God by the death of Fie Gon: mech more teing reconciled we shail be sevod by bis life." Rom, 5:10. See aleo Col. 1:13-33, I Thes. 1:10. The words "Son of God" and "Chriet" are oynonimewm Vatt.16:16. and again end ain the scriptures etate that Christ died for our sins, the foundation principle of the Gospel. Yothing 1s clearer in the scripture than the trutk that the Son of God aied for ue and we tave a Divine and not sisply a huzan Stcnemert. Those who telieve that the Gon of God did not die quote an urputlished atatemert of Sister Thite. "Deity did not sink and dic, that would have been dmposeitle." Thie te all very clear if we telicve the Fitle otaterent of death, as found in Job. 34:13,14, 15: "Yea surely God will not do wickedly...If he (God) eet hie heart upon men, if he (God) gathere unto himeelf Eis Spirit and Hie breath (God's epirit and God's breath) all fleeh chail perieh tosether, and man stall turn again to dust™.TRINITY, Page 6.

Any Qboteine that leads a mer to deny that the fon of God died must be eeesil doctrine, an anti-Christian doctrine, not from God but from Satan.

"I eaw in the nickt visions, and beheld one like the Son of man came with the clovde of Heaven and oame to the Ancient of Lays and they brought him near before him.” Verse 15. Here are two persons, distinct and separate in their person- alsty . The eoripturce are ae clear on this point as on any subjeut of Eitie truth. Because the heathen believed in some ode who had one body vith more than one head and because the Homan Church adopted that heathen ides, eternal torment, the workhip of dead men, the sign ut tne cross, and also the Trinity, direct from heathenaem, ie the Goctrine of the Trinity any more sacred than eternal turment. th2 Sanday Sabbath, purgatory. or any other Pagau papal dovts ina? g Nol: And the fact that Christ is not the mediator in the a ch demcnatrates that the Trinity destroys the trish that Chrivt ie the une, the only mediator. The eo-valled Chrietian church, the Papecy, that originatec the doctrine of the Trinity, dues not recognize hiw as the ouly mediator but substitutes a muiiitude of ghoste of dead men and women ae mediators. If you hold the Trinity doctrine, in reality, Christ ie no longer your mediator. The Trinity doctrine like ite author, Satan, ie a destroyer; a bungling absurd irreverent caricature, 2 blasphemous burlesque on the glorious tree unity of heart and purposes snd perfect almighty Jove and cxeavive lize of the Father, Son and Roly Spirit. any tinee in the New Tegsanent we read of Chriet praying to the @ persons of the so-called iriniiy were always Sogethez, alwaye ineeparadle, 3 pezeuna in | persun, a very pereonal one of anvthez and as Fld.

And when ein je over forever and "when all things shell be evedved unto Fim, then shall the for also be subject unto Hix, that God may te 211 in all". I Cor, 15:28. These and many other scriptures make the doctrine of the Trinity impossible. hen Jeoue caze to thie world se a human being, he took the sare riok that every san faces, the "risk of failure and eternal loce." It was possitle for Jeavs to fail, to fall into ein and to be lost. I quote one of the moot temutiful, pathetic statements found in the Spirit of Prophecy. veire ie, Page 4°: "Into the world there Satan claimed dominion God permitted His Son to come, a helpleas babe subject to humanity. Ee permitted Kim to meet life's peril in common with every human soul, to fizht the battle as every child must fight it at the rick of failure and eternal jose." —_ "Tre-nealo Ut the human father yearne over his son. Fe looke into the face of hie little child, and trembles at the thought of life's peril. He lonce to ehield hie dear one from Satan's power, to hold him back from temptation and conflict. To nest a bitterer conflict and a more fearful rick, God gave Ele only begotten son, trat the patt oT iife might be made eure for cur little ones." "Herein ie love. Wonder O heavens! And be astonished © earth.” If Ckriet, as was possible, had suffered “failure ard a eternal loss", if the Trimaty doctrine that Chriet was "ons reon" with the Father ie true, then the Father would ‘heave also havejlost, and the universe annihilated. This whole beautiful passage {ndi- cates ac separate a pereonality for the Heavenly Father and Fie Son, ae of any earthly father and eon. The whole Trinity doctrine is utterly foreign to all the Pible and the teactinge of the Spirit of Prophecy. Revelation elves hot the elightest hint of it. This monstrous heathen conception finds no place in g}} the trez universe of our Flessed Heavenly Father and #is Eons Lord and Saviour, Jesus Chriet. The three distinct, separate persone of, the Godhead were present at the baptiem of Jesus, who, when coming out of the water, heard the Father's voice proclaiming, "This ie my teloved eon", and the Foly Spirit descended upon Jesue in the form of a dove, in divine benediction.

The Catholic teaching of the Trinity (3 persone in 1 person) je apomumental faleehood, and a fountain of deadly evil. God hee given a dietinct, a separate personality to every being in the universe, angelic and human, an independent, a distinct individuality and personality and desires that should preserve thet individuality and pereonality distinct and separate from that Sf every other being, Thue there 1s given to every one the right $F choice, freedom, isterty; and how glorious are the privileges of Liberty, to chooee the will of God and thue be in perfect onenees, unity with all who love and obey God, the fountain of life and liberty. 8g GOD CREATED MAN IN PIS OWN IMAGE IN THE IMAGE OF GOD CREATED HE THEM." Gen. ie, If God was a Trinity, (3 in 1 person), man created in hie image was a trinity. Fut he ie not. God has given to every person jae woeyyeree a ecparate distinct person and 2 will, a personality 32 hie own. Into that separate sacred personality even God doce not intrude. He gives every pereon the liberty to make hie own choice. In the garden of Getheemane Jesue prayed, saying, "0 ny Father, if it be poseible, let thie cup pass from me, neverthetese Former rill, but ae thos wilt".-Watt.26:39.

There te liberty in Reaven where the Father, Son and Boly Spirit are God gads us free and leaves us free to all eternity on earth and in Heaven, and the glory of righteousness ie that without a shade of compuleion we freely choose to do the will of our glorious God. Put in the Catholic Church, Poman cr Greek, where the Trinity had been borrowed from Satan's pagen religion, there ie no liberty, only bondage and tyranny, cruelty, darknses, death. Where the Trinity ie the central doctrine, one man cupreme, the Pope, tyrannizes over the bishops; the bishope over the priests; and the priests over the people. Thie ie the natural, the Jogieal fruit of their central, key doctrine, the Trinity. Mo one can deny thie fact that where the Trinity 18 made the supreme teet, there ie tyranny, cruelty, torture, death. And when finally in deeperation men Tise up and destroy the Catholic Church, whether Roman or Greek, the pendulum ewings and there ie tyranny, destruction, infidelity, deepotiem, ruin, Thie was seen in the French revolution where the streets of Paris ran with blood, and in the terrible revolution in Spatn and in the fearful upheaval in Rueeia where infidelity, force, murder, darkness, are reigning eupreme woree than in the darkest heathen lan Men trained under the Catholic trinity principle, when they revolt, set up another government on the game principle, despotiem, tyranny. ‘The heathen doctrines of the Trinity, supreme in the Catholic Quuroh, Roman and Greek, dlote out the light of God given liberty, fille the world with darkness and blood, either when it ie logically enforced ae the only religion, or,when men filled with the same epirit, revolt and take revenge in the same way that they have Giiterea, and oct up another iS vernment on the-sane prinéipie, despotism, dictatorship. No one living can deny that where the Trinity wae the supreme doctrine there has come horrible bondage, destruction, ruin; liberty utterly lost. Look at Italy, Spaat, Russia; Hitler en Austrian Catholic, Stalin etudied for the priesthood, Franco in Spain, Wuesolini in Italy. The world fe in torment from action and reaction of the blasphemous doctrine of the Trinity. The fruit of the Trinity 1s only evil, only cruel, despotic, the opposite of the glorioue personal liberty in Heaven of the Father snd the Holy Spirit, of the Son of God and of Hie children, on earth, the sone of God. The Catholic heathen doctrine of the Sunday Sabbath is just a= aaguazed co oacred a6 the Catholic pagan doctrine of the Trinity and ne more 80. Eld.

Then at conferences, etc., they both visited Dr. Zelloss in Fattle Creek and worked in harmony with him. After 2 few yoars, then Fld. Prescott had become the editor of the Review, Eld. % C.

Prescott "ould make thie matter rigkt, I requeeted that he make an acknowledgment in the Review of bie mistake, as wide ao bis wrong teachings had beon made. But my Kindly suggestion wee indignantly and emphatically refueed. If he had been willing to acknowledge thie wrong, he might have been kept from many etrange teachings later on, contrary to our great message. Then Eld. Preecott and Dr. Waggoner were in Engaand, Eld. Conrad’ was at the head of all the work in Europe and they were often together and Fld. Prescott learned some of the Conradi theology. In the eummer of 1931 L. R. Conradi wrote a letter to the editor of the Review finding fault with "Great Controversy". He aeserted that Sieter Thite bad made quotations from history that were falsd.
