The argument under this heading may well be left to the extracts culled from various works upon the subject. How immeasurably more exalted still must the Father be above the Son and Spirit, if He is the ground and cause of their being.
Few facts can be so prominent in the Scriptures as the mode of offering prayer.
His place as the High Priest and the altar was to be introduced when He had laid down His life and had been received again from the dead, and had gone on high to the Father's right hand as the Mediator and the High Priest on man's behalf. There is no instance of prayer being so addressed recorded in the whole of Scripture. Ponder this question, for in the early apostolic age it was a divine command to ask the Father for the bestowal of the power of the Spirit through the Mediatorship, of the Son. Another argument to be urged against the Trinity is contained in some statements by writers upon the Third Person of this Trinity. A few quotations will be given to illustrate the conception of Trinitarians and historians upon both the standing of the Holy Spirit in the first ages, and also admissions of the language used in relation to the Spirit in the Scriptures.
