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 HolyGhost).
E kangaara n rin te Trinity Doctrine aio n aia koaua moan Kiritian (traditional Christianity)?
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 n 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 A.D. 33 iroun Timon te tia tabunea (Simon te Sorcerer), ae taekinaki n Makuri mwakoro 8. Teuaei bon atuun te aro are Babiron ae raba nanona (Babylon te mystery religion) i aon Tamaria.
E kangaara n tei aia aro ni beekan aio i Tamaria? Bwa bon tiaki kawaan Iteraera ngkoa te kawa 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 -(kaain Iteraera) man te kaawa ae Tamaria, ao e karokoia ana botanaomata mai Babiron ao e kamaekaiia iaon Tamaria. 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 ae 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 wairio 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 naba irouiia te Tamnei ae Tabu (Holy Spirit). E bon kaota aki kukureina (rebuked him) ma te bwanaa ae matoa Betero. E ngae n anne ao Timon e manga tataekinna 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”, 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 n onea mwiina ma te “Embwaea n Rom ae Tabu” (“Holy Roman Empire”).

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 (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). 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) . . .

Ko konaa ni kabaroa temanna te aomata nako nanon temanna riki te aomata – tao te Atua nako nanoiia aomata ake a mena ikekei?

“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.
