Here's some statements from a Oneness side in a fictional trial of the trinity.

Your honor I have been falsely accused of teaching false doctrine by the trinitarians. My witnesses will prove that what I teach, by their own eyes what they have seen and what they have also heard was from the Almighty himself.

My first witness is Adam. "Adam, what did you see and hear?" "When I took my first breath and my eyes opened I saw and heard the Lord God. He called me by the name Adam which he gave me. I was made in his image and I heard and recognized his distinct voice from distance."
I would like to enter into evidence Genesis 2:7; 3:8.

My second witness Abram. "Abram, what did you see and hear?" "I was seventy five years old when the Lord first spoke to me. I was in the plain of Moreh and The Lord appeared unto me and told me that he would give me this land. Their I built an altar and called upon the name the Lord. One time the Lord came to me in a vision and we talked. When I was ninety years old the Lord appeared to me and said, I am the Almighty God. He made a covenant between me and him. I remember when I was in the plains of Mamre and he appeared unto me with two other men who were angels. He told me how judgement would come to Sodom and I pleaded with him to save Lot and he did." I would like to enter into evidence Genesis 12:1-4, 12:7, 15:1, 17:1, 18:1, 19:1.

My third witness Isaac. "Isaac, what did you see and hear?" "I was going to Gerar and the Lord appeared to me and told me not to go to Egypt he told me of the covenant he made with my father. Once I was in Beersheba and the Lord appeared that night and told me to fear not. He again told how he was the God of Abraham and there I built an altar and called on the name of the Lord." I would like to enter into evidence Genesis 26:2; 26:24.

My fourth witness Jacob. "Jacob, what did you see and hear?" "In my dream I saw a ladder from earth to heaven and the angels ascending and descending on it. The Lord stood above it and said to me I am the Lord God of Abraham and Isaac. Then Again he appeared to me when I came out of Pandanaram and he blessed me. He changed my name to Israel He said that he was the Almighty and he would make us a great nation." I would like to enter into evidence Genesis 28:12-13; 35:9-10.

My fifth witness Mosses. "Mosses, what did you see and hear?" "He spoke to me out of the burning bush and called me by my name. He said he was the I AM..The Lord God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob. He appeared unto me, to be His spoke person to Pharaoh and Hebrews. One time me Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu with seventy elders of Israel saw God. Under his feet paved work of a sapphire stone and the body of heaven in his clearness. They saw God and did eat and drink that day. I spoke to the Lord God face to face and mouth to mouth. He told me the great command ‘Hear O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord;’" I would like to enter into evidence Exodus 3:14-15, 24:9-1; Deuteronomy 6:4, 24:10.

My sixth witness Balaam. "Balaam, what did you see and hear?" "I had a vision of the Almighty, while in a trance my eyes were open. The most High gave me knowledge and words to speak.. One day I shall see him and behold him in the end." I would like to enter into evidence Numbers 24:16-17.

My seventh witness Micaiah. "Micaiah, what did you see and hear?" "I saw the Lord sitting on his throne, and all the host of heaven standing by him on his right hand and on his left." I would like to enter into evidence 1 Kings 22:19.

My eight witness Isaiah. "Isaiah, what did you see and hear?" Isaiah responded, "I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up and his train filled the temple. For my eyes have seen the King, the Lord of hosts. I heard his voice and we communed together and he sent me to speak his words to Israel. I often wrote of him the Holy One of Israel." I would like to enter into evidence Isaiah 6:1, 5, 8.

My ninth witness Ezekiel. "Ezekiel, what did you see and hear?" "I was among the captives by the river Chebar that the heavens were opened, and I saw visions of God. I heard the voice of the Almighty and likeness of a throne, as the appearance of a sapphire stone: And upon the likeness of the throne was the likeness as the appearance of a man above upon it. I saw the color of amber as appearance of fire round about within it. The appearance of rainbow, this was the appearance round about. I fell to my face and I heard a voice of one that spake. He called me Son of man stand on your feet and I will speak to thee. His voice was like a noise of many waters. I looked, and, behold, in the firmament that was above the head of the cherubims there appeared over them as it were a sapphire stone, as the appearance of the likeness of a throne. I would like to enter into evidence Ezekiel 1:1, 2:1, 6:1, 24-28, 10:1.

My tenth witness Daniel. "Daniel, what did you see and hear?" "I saw in my vision by night thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like the pure wool: his throne was like the fiery flame and his wheels as burning fire. A fiery stream issued and came before him: thousand thousands ministered to him and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him: the judgement was set and the books were opened. There was given him dominion, and glory and a kingdom that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed." I would like to enter into evidence Daniel 7:2, 9, 10, 14.

My eleventh witness John. "John, what did you see and hear?" "I was in the Spirit on the Lords day, and heard behind me a great voice as of a trumpet, Saying I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last. I was told by him to write to the seven churches and I did. After this I looked and behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter. And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne. And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone: and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald. And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works." I would like to enter into evidence Revelation 1:10-15; 4:1- 3; 20:11-12.

My Twelfth witness Paul. "Paul, What did you see and hear?" "I first met Him on the road to Damascus. A great light from heaven appeared and I heard a voice ask me why am I persecuting Him?, I asked, ‘Who art thou Lord?’, He responded, ‘I am Jesus.’ Once I was in Corinth the Lord spoke to me in a night vision. When I came to Jerusalem and was praying in the temple and saw him and He told me to get out of Jerusalem for they will not receive my testimony of Him. Another time in Jerusalem the Lord stood by me and said be of good cheer, Paul: for you will have to bear witness also at Rome of Me." I would like to enter into evidence Acts 9:3-5, 18:9, 22:17-18, 23:11.

Closing Statements

I would now like to quote from Paul’s letters to the Churches:

Romans 1:20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse.

1 Corinthians 8:4 And that there is none other God but one.

Galatians 3:20 Now a mediator is not a mediator of one, but God is one.

Ephesians 4:5-6 One Lord, one faith, one baptism. One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.

Philippians 2:11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Colossians 1:15 Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature.
2:9 For in him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily.

1 Thessalonians 3:13 To the end he may establish your hearts unblameable in holiness before God, even our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all his saints.

1 Timothy 2:4-5 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.

1 Timothy 6:15 Which in his times he shall shew, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords;

Hebrews 1:6-8 And again, when he bringeth in the first begotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him. And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire. But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom.

Hebrews 13:8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.
