Why Are There So Many Different Churches? Down through the centuries, it has always been a tendency of mankind to attempt to improve upon God's divine plan, and in so doing to depart from God's way. In the book of Proverbs Solomon said, "There is a way that seemeth right unto man, but the end thereof are the ways of death." This tendency was true in the days of King Saul (I Samuel 15:1-24). Also in the time of Naaman (II Kings 5:1-14), and throughout the ages. History shows that is exactly what took place shortly after the days of the Apostles. At first they began a gradual departure from come. These prophecies did not cease to be religious, nor that they would cease to claim that they would be following Christ, but simply that they would depart from God's pattern, and thus make worship vain.

Kelly, J.N.D.: Early Christian Doctrines "Of a doctrine of the Trinity in the strict sense there is of course no sign, although the Church's triadic formula left its mark everywhere."

Girdlestone, Robert Baker: Synonyms of the Old Testament It is clear that the fact of the word Elohim being plural in form does not at all sanction polytheism - but we have now to consider whether it may fairly be taken as a testimony to the plurality of Persons in the Godhead. It is certainly marvelously consistent with this doctrine, and must remove a great stumbling-block out of the path ... Perhaps the idea unfolded in the plural form Elohim may be expressed more accurately by the word Godhead or Deity than by the word God; and there is certainly nothing unreasonable in the supposition that the name of the Deity was given to man in this form, so as to prepare him for the truth that in the unity of the Godhead there are Three Persons. As long as the passage above quoted stands on the first page of the Bible, the believer in the Trinity has a right to turn to it as a proof that Plurality in the Godhead is a very different thing from Polytheism, and as an indication that the frequent assertions of the Divine Unity are not inconsistent with the ... ... https://www.bible.ca/trinity/trinity-Girdlestone.htm

After Moses' request for peaceful passage through Edom was refused by the Edomite king, the Israelites set out from Kadesh-Barnea to conquer Canaan by a more circuitous route—around Mount Hor and through Transjordan. Moses' brother, Aaron, died on Mount Hor because he had been unfaithful to God at the Waters of Merivah by Kadesh (Numbers 33:37, 38).
