Why do christians still follow the pagan trinity idea? Jesus never taught it.?

Answer 1

While we do not have any records of Jesus saying to His disciples, "Listen: I am one person of the Trinity. The first person is God the Father in Heaven, and the third is the Holy Spirit...." we do see it is in His teaching (He tells them to baptize in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, Matt 28; He talks about the Holy Spirit who is the helper to come after Him; He talks about how He and the Father are one). The term Trinity actually came from the Church fathers. It is clear from reading the Bible that God is in fact of this nature (three in one).

Answer 2

that's Pagan, it is not actual. Neither Jesus or the Apostles spent every time conversing some " Trinity". If this replaced into real, could we no longer discover web site after web site explaining this doctrine? The Apostles have been curious of many stuff.They needed to appreciate whilst the dominion could be commonly used, whilst the top circumstances could be.. how is it that if the trinity doctrine have been real that not one of the disciples could point out it? Is one to have faith that it replaced into an standard actuality back then? Ask any Jew approximately God being 3 in one... and it may be termed Blasphemy.

Answer 3

It is a mistake to assume that all self-described "Christians" follow the trinity idea. For example, Jehovah's Witnesses not only reject the idea, but go from door-to-door to help teach their neighbors the truth about God, Jesus, and the bible.

(Deuteronomy 6:4) Jehovah our God is one Jehovah

(1 Corinthians 8:4-6) There is no God but one. For even though there are those who are called “gods,” whether in heaven or on earth, just as there are many “gods” and many “lords,” there is actually to us one God the Father, out of whom all things are, and we for him

Answer 4

because they cant b bothered to think of their own ideas... a bishop or something like that openly critised the belief in the pagan trinity... lol... i mean many churches were built on pagan worship sites, christmas and easter are just two of the festivals they stole too

Answer 5

Because the Catholic church invented the Trinity in 325 CE (ad) and they, and the Church of England, executed anyone who refused to accept it.

Murdering people for over 1,000 years is a very convincing method for promoting false doctrine.

Seems to me if it had validity, it could have stood on its own without all the murders.

Answer 6

Can anyone but God control the Spirit of God? Jesus "sends" the Spirit to us. He also calls Him "His" Spirit. Can the Spirit of God not be God if He convicts the world of sin? How can He take from Jesus and give it to the People that belong to Him? See how He works:
John 16:13-15
However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come. He will glorify Me, for He will take of what is Mine and declare it to you. All things that the Father has are Mine. Therefore I said that He will take of Mine and declare it to you.

Answer 7

thats the rub with christianity, it has "borrowed" alot of rituals from the pagans. example:no one really knows what time of year christ was born, so the early christians borrowed the winter solstice pagan ceremonies and made it his birthday.

Answer 8

Yes, it was invented by the catholic church at the Council of Nicea but a lot of people are finally starting to come around and see through it.

Answer 9

faced with the universe, our brains needed to answers too many questions. Long time ago those whose brain had a place for a god to trust all unaswered questions moved on as they could concentrate on gathering food instead of asking themselves the meaning of it all.

Answer 10

christianity stole numerous pagan ideas
