Reasons to Beleive The Doctrine of the Absolute Oneness of God in Christ

There is no biblical reference to the term trinity but the bible does emphatically state that there is only one God.

• Deut 6:4 Hear, Oh Israel, The LORD our God, The LORD is one.

• Rev 4:2 …and behold, a throne set in heaven, and One sat on the throne.

• Isa 44:6, 8, 24 "Thus says the Lord, the King of Israel, And his Redeemer, the Lord of hosts: 'I am the First and I am the Last; Besides Me there is no God. 8 Do not fear, nor be afraid;Have I not told you from that time, and declared it? You are My witnesses. Is there a God besides Me? Indeed there is no other Rock; I know not one.'" 24 Thus says the Lord, your Redeemer, And He who formed you from the womb: "I am the Lord, who makes all things, Who stretches out the heavens all alone, Who spreads abroad the earth by Myself;

The “Holy Trinity” is a “Holy Three” which is in no way compatible with the “Holy One” of scripture.

• Psa 71:22 Also with the lute I will praise you; And Your faithfulness, O my God! To You I will sing with the harp, O Holy One of Israel.
• Isa 12:6 Cry out and shout, O inhabitant of Zion, For great is the Holy One of Israel in your midst!"
  

The greatest commandment begins with the fact that there is only one God.

• Mar 12:32-33 So the scribe said to Him, "Well said, Teacher. You have spoken the truth, for there is one God, and there is no other but He.33 "And to love Him with all the heart, with all the understanding, with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love one's neighbor as oneself, is more than all the whole burnt offerings and sacrifices."
