Christendom's Trinity: Where Did It Come From?

[Alter2Ego]

John 10:30
I and the Father are one.”

Darby:

You are ignoring context (surrounding words, verses, and chapters). The expression "one," when used at John 10:30, is with reference to unity of purpose. Let me demonstrate that by quoting scripture, then I will follow the scriptures with three questions that should help you reason on the matter. I will bold some of the words within the scriptural quotation in red and some will be enlarged in black because I want to draw those words to your attention.

"After Jesus said this, he looked toward heaven and prayed: "Father, the hour has come. Glorify your Son, that your Son may glorify you. (John 17:1 -- New International Version)

“I have revealed you to those whom you gave me out of the world. They were yours; you gave them to me and they have obeyed your word." (John 17:6 -- New International Version)

"I pray for them. I am not praying for the world, but for those you have given me, for they are yours." (John 17:9 -- New International Version)

"I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one— (John 17:22 -- New International Version)

"I am one with them, and you are one with me, so they may become completely one. Then this world's people will know that you sent me. They will know that you love my followers as much as you love me." (John 17:23 -- Contemporary English Version)

QUESTION #1 to Darby: Since the Trinitarian claim is that Jesus the son and Jehovah the Father are the same god, then God was praying to himself at John 17:1. TRUE or FALSE?

QUESTION #2 to Darby: According to the context at John 17:22-23, Jesus said in prayer to his heavenly Father that he wanted all of his disciples to be "one." Since, according to the Trinitarian claim, the word "one" when used by Jesus at John 10:30 is proof that Jesus and Jehovah are one single god, then when the same word "one" is used by Jesus at John 17:22-23 it means Jesus expected his dozens of disciples to become a single human being. TRUE or FALSE?

QUESTION #3 to Darby: According to John 17:6 and 9, the disciples originally belonged to Jehovah the Father, but Jehovah gave the disciples to Jesus the son. TRUE or FALSE?

Yes, I am a Biblical Unitarian - used to be a Trinitarian but came out from that cloud of confusion!
Yes, you have the right to respond or not - that is your prerogative.

The only way someone can be a "Biblical Unitarian" is if he/she has ripped out John 1:1-18 and multitudes of other verses from the Bible they're reading.
