36. That a trinity of Gods is contrary to Holy Scripture is well known, for it is written:

Am not I Jehovah? and there is no God else besides Me; a just God and a Saviour there is none besides Me.Isaiah 45:21-22.

I, Jehovah, am thy God... and thou shalt acknowledge no God besides Me for there is no Saviour besides Me. Hosea 13:4.

Thus saith Jehovah the King of Israel, and His Redeemer, Jehovah Zebaoth: I am the First and I am the Last, and besides Me there is no God.Isaiah 44:6.

Jehovah Zebaoth is His Name, and thy Redeemer the Holy One of Israel; the God of the whole earth shall He be called.Isaiah 54:5.

In that day... Jehovah shall be King over all the earth; in that day there shall be one Jehovah and His Name One. Zechariah 14:9.

There are also many more such passages.

In many cases, the spiritual meaning of "own," both as a verb and as an adjective, is relatively literal. When people are described as the "Lord's own," however, it specifically means those people who know Him and have His Word. This has taken various forms since the dawn of humanity; in the prehistoric church known as the "Most Ancient Church" the Lord's truth -- the direct expression of His love -- flowed into people directly. In the Ancient Church the Lord's Word was recognized in nature and in the form of deeply representative stories, some of which were passed on to us in the early chapters of Genesis. Among the Children of Israel the Lord's Word was expressed through the Ten Commandments, the laws of Moses, the very history of the nation of Israel and the various psalms and prophecies. The early Christians had those stories along with the teaching and inspiration of Jesus himself. We now have the whole Bible, including the teachings of Jesus, and can understand the Bible's true meaning. Each of these churches, then, was at some point the Lord's own.
