Te ‘Trinity Doctrine’

Te koaua are e nangi butimaeaki irouiia Kiritian bon te koaua are te Atua bon teniman, ke, te Trinity – Te Atua n teniman rabatana – te Tama (Father), te Nati (Son) ao te Tamnei ae Raoiroi - ae Tabu (Holy Spirit – are e aki toki n aranaki naba bwa te Holy Ghost).

                E kangaara n rin te Trinity Doctrine aio n aia koaua moan Kiritian (traditional Christianity) nikawai?

                Ti na kamatoaa ikai bwa e bon aki roko te koaua aio man te B’aibara. E a tia n taekinaki ikai bwa botanaomata ni kabaneia a bon bane ni mamanaaki iroun Tatan te riaboroo (Kaotioti 12:9, Kiribati Protestant Bible, KPB). E kangaara, ngkanne, Tatan ni karinna (introduce) te koaua aio n te aro n “Kiritian”?

                E kakaongoraa rongorongon te titiraki aei. E bon nangi kamiimii bwa Tatan e aki ti mamanaa (deceive) te aonaaba ni kabuta, ma e mamanaa naba te aro n “Kiritian” – te aro are e uota aran Kristo ao are ngkoa bon te aro ni koaua. Eng, e bon karaoa aei Tatan!

                E karaoia rinanon ana ekaretia ae kewe (false church), ae moan tei n te ririk A.D. 33 iroun Timon te tia tabunea (Simon te Sorcerer), ae taekinaki n Makuri (Acts) mwakoro 8. Bon ngaia atuun te aro are Babiron ae raba nanona (Babylon the mystery religion) i aon Tamaria.

                E kangaara n tei aia aro ni beekan aio i Tamaria? Bwa bon tiaki kawaan Iteraera ngkoa te kaawa aei?

                 E koreaki n te boki ae 2 Uea 17:23-24 bwa Tiaremaneta (Shalmaneser), uean Atiiria (Assyria), e buakana te abanuea are i meang (northern kingdom) – ae Iteraera – ao e kamwaingiia nako kaaina man te kaawa ae Tamaria, ao e karokoia ana botanaomata mai Babiron ao e kamaekaiia iai. Te botanaomata aio bon kaain te aro ae raba nanona mai Babiron. Bon tiantaire ngaiia. A maekana te tabo are i meangin Baretaina (Palestine) n ana tai Iesu. Kaain Iutaia (Jews of Judea) n ana tai Kristo a bon aki kan karekerekeiia ma aomata aikai, ao a weteiia bwa kamea (dogs). Ma, tiantaire aikai a bon kateimatoaa aia aro ni beekan aio ae raba nanona mai Babiron inanon te moan tienture (1st century).

                N te ririki A.D. 33, uoua te ririki imwiin katean ana Ekaretia te Atua (Church of God) n te bong are te Bentekota (Pentecost,) iroun Iesu Kristo, ao te rikan (deacon) ae Biribo (Philip), ae e a manga riki bwa te tia nakonako n tataekina taekan te euangkerio (evangelist), e uairio nako Tamaria ao e tataekina ana euangkerio Kristo ikekei. Timon are te tia tabunea e roko naba, ibuakoia baronga n aomata, bwa e na ongora naba irouna.

                Timon e a bon tia ni maamanaia kaain te aba aei, ao a iriria (followed) bwa aia tia kairiiri n aia aro ae raba nanona mai Babiron “ao a bane ni baroakinna ataei ma ikawai, ao a kangai: Teuaei, boni M’aakan te Atua” (Makuri 8:10, Kiribati Catholic Bible, KCB).

                Ngke a kakoauaa rongorongon abanuean te Atua (kingdom of God) are e tataekinna Biribo nakoiia, ao a babititoaki (baptized) aomata aikai, ao Timon e bon reke naba angana ni babititoaki irarikiia.

                Ao e manga roko Timon ni kawariia abotoro aika Betero ao Ioane, ao e uota te mane (money) bwa ana bwai n anainano (bribery), ao e tuangiia abootoro aikai bwa ana anganna te mwaaka ni katoka bai (laying of hands) i aoia aomata bwa e na reke irouiia te Tamnei ae Tabu (Holy Spirit). E bon kaota aki kukureina ao e kataetaea (rebuked him) ma te bwanaa ae matoa Betero. E ngae n anne ao Timon e manga tataekina bwa bon ngaia naba temanna aia abotoro Kiritian (Christian apostle), ao e arana ana aro are e raba nanona mai Babiron bwa te “Aro n Kiritian” (“Christianity”). E kabonganaa te koaua (doctrine) are te akoi (grace) ibukin kabaraan buure (forgiveness of sin), ma e raira te koaua aei nakon te raitienti (license) n aki kan ongo iroun te Atua (Iuta 4). E mwakuri korakora bwa e na karika ana aro ni beekan aio, are e aana i aan te ara n Kiritian, bwa e na riki bwa te aro ae taabangaki (universal religion), bwa e aongan reke irouna te mwaaka n tautaekana te aonaaba (political rule of the world).

                Timon, te “Pater”(Peter), man te aro ni kewe aio, e aki koro bukin ana iango aio n ana tai ni maiu. Ma taan kairiiri imwiina, man aia etukuata (headquarters) ae kamwaingaki nako Rom (Rome), a bon kakoroa bukin aia kan tautaekana te Embwaea n Rom (Roman Empire), ao onean mwiina ae te “Embwaea n Rom ae Tabu” (“Holy Roman Empire”). Te embwaea aio, Holy Roman Empire, ai aoni kawaina n bobongaraoi kateana kaua iroun aban Erube (Europe) aika a kaaina te ‘European Union’ n taai aikai.

Inanon 60 A.D., ao aban nako te B’aibara aika kinaaki ngkai bwa te ‘Middle East’ a bon tia n rairaki man te euangkerio ae koaua (true gospel) nakon are e  tokobitoaaki (I-Karatia 1:6-7, Kiribati Protestant Bible, KPB).

                Ao imwiina riki ao temanna naba ana reirei Kristo, Polycrates, e bon manga tabekarake riki te kauntaeka i aon naba te Riao ma temanna naba te Bishop n Rom.

                E a tia ni mwamwanaa te aonaaba Tatan ibukin ANTAI ao TERAA te Atua – ao ibukin Kristo ao te Tamnei ae Tabu (Holy Spirit).

Te taeka ae ‘Trinity’ e bon aki kabonganaaki n taekan nako te B’aibara n I-Matang, ke ni koreaki irouiia taan korea bokin nako te B’aibara. E na kamatataaki aio rimwi. Te Atua e bon aki katoka (limit) mwaitina nakon ‘Teniman’. Te koaua aio, ngkana e a ataaki, bon te kaotioti ae nangi kakukurei nakon te aomata!

                Te moan tai ni iangoaki ke ni tataekinaki bwa te Atua bon Teniman e teirakeaki inanon banen te ka-2 n tienture – tebubua (100) te ririki imwiin korean angin bokin te Nu-Tetemanti.

Ma ana Ekaretia ae Koaua te Atua (True Church of God) e bon teimatoa n aki butimaea. Te kauntaeka i aon aei e a roko n korakorana are e a moanna n aki karekea te rau (peace) i aon te aonaaba.

Ma ana taan boutoko te uea Constantine a bon nangi mwaiti are a taubararaanako ana Ekaretia te Atua ae e bon uarereke ana mwaiti (Kaotioti 12, KCB).

E tei ibuakoia ao n toka i aoiia tauatekan te aonaaba.

A Karinaki Kiibu aika Kewe

Bon tii teuana te kibu man te B’aibara are a kateitei aona naake a taua te koaua ae “teniman te Atua (Trinity). E kuneaki te kibu aio n 1 Ioane 5:7-8, n te B’aibara n I-Matang ae te Authorized Version, ao anne e rokinaki n taekan te kibu anne inano: “Ba teniman tani kakoaua,[i karawa, te Tama, te Taeka, ao te Tamnei ae Raoiroi: ao boni teniman ngaiia. Ao teniman tani kakoaua i aon te aonaaba], ba te Tamnei, te ran ao te rara, ao a boraoi aia koaua ngaia teniman (KCB). Taeka aika rokinaki akanne a bon karinaki irouiia taan korea te B’aibara nakon te rairaiiri ae te Latin Vulgate n maon te ka-4 n tienture. E bon aki nooraki inanon aia koroboki kaain Kuriiti (Greek manuscripts) rimoa ao inanon B’aibara n I-Matang n taai aikai. A bon karinaki inanon te tai n kauntaeka imarenan Rom ma Dr. Arius ao ana Ekaretia te Atua.

E Bwaro Nako (Poured out) te Tamnei

E roko mai karawa te Tamnei ae Tabu kanga kaberoron te anga ae korakora, ao “e (it – Tamnei ae Tabu) kaona te auti ike a tekateka iai.” Imwiina, e nooraki te Tamnei ae Tabu – e KONAA N NORAKI – e karikia bwa e na noraki (manifested itself) – “A nori baike kanga newe ake ai aron taian ai” (Makuri 2:2-3, KCB). N te kibu 18, ao Betero e bon kabongana ana taeka te burabeti ae Ioera ae e koreaki n te taetae n I-Matang ikai: “I will pour out . . .of my Spirit . . “”N na kabwaroa . . .” Te Tamnei ae Tabu, n aron te ran, e konaa ni kabwaroaki.

                E konaa ni kabwaroaki, ke n raanga nako, te aomata temanna nako nanon te aomata temanna? 

E Baronako te Tamnei ae [Tabu]

Te Tamnei ae Tabu e roko mai karawa, e kaberoro (audibly), kanga te ang ae korakora (mighty wind), “ao e kaona te auti ike a tekateka iai.” Imwiina, ao e kaoti (appeared) – E NOORAKI (WAS VISIBLY SEEN) – e karikia n rabata (manifested) – “A nori baike kanga newe[uaai] (cloven tongues) ake ai aron taian ai (fire), ake a uamae nako n toka i aoia n tatabeman” (Makuri 2:2-3, Kiribati Catholic Bible, KCB). N te kibu 18 ao Betero e bon anai taeka (quote)mai iroun te burabeti/ibonga ae Ioera: “N na karuoa (pour out- taekana n B’aibara n I-Matang) . . .  Tamneiu (of my Spirit).” Te Tamnei ae Tabu, n aron te ran, e kona ni “KABAROAKI” (POURED OUT). Ko konaa ni kabaroa temanna te aomata nako nanon temanna riki te aomata – tao te Atua nako nanoiia aomata ake a mena ikekei?

                Ioane 7:37-39, KCB:

                “N te bong are e kakananto, are kabaneani bongin te toa, ao e tei Iesu, ao e kangai n te bana ae e korakora: ‘Ngkana iai te kani moi, ao ke e nakoiu, ao ke e moi.
