Which one of these words is in the bible?

Question

1. Trinity.
2. Liberal.
3. Christmas.
4. Rapture.

Answer 1

Liberal

2 Co 8:20 -
"We want to avoid any criticism of the way we administer this liberal gift."

Answer 2

Technically, Trinity, Christmas, and rapture do not occur in the (KJV) Bible right now. Trinity is a reference to God the Father, God the Son (Jesus), and God the Holy Ghost.
2. Christmas is a holiday that was developed later to celebrate the birth of Christ, which did occur around that time of year.
3. Rapture comes from a term (I currently believe it is Latin) that refers to the second coming.
4. Liberal; I would have to check on. currently.
Does this answer most of your question?

Answer 3

You are correct that none of them are, but I believe this is a possible loaded question. I have heard this asked before, but under the pretense that none of them exist, we should not believe in them, or they are wrong. Abortion is not actually in the Bible but I still believe the Bible speaks against it.
The Trinity is a word used to describe what is mentioned all throughout the Bible without actually using the word. Rapture is used to to describe an end-times event despite the fact the word is never in the Bible. The other two really have nothing to do with the Bible.
My answer is based on the New American Standard Bible, which is one of the most accurate translations available aside from the original text. Based on it, none of these words are in it, but words like liberal may be used in another translation.

Answer 4

Rapture

Answer 5

Well, since Trinity, Christmas and Rapture are not Bible teachings, they are not in the Bible. However, I would say with "liberal", it depends on your translation of the Bible. It is found twice in the translation I use, just not under the same definition as you are looking for.

1Timothy 6:18 " to work at good, to be rich in fine works, to be liberal, ready to share,"

2Corinthians 8:20 "Thus we are avoiding having any man find fault with us in connection with this liberal contribution to be administered by us."

Answer 6

1) "Trinity" itself doesn't appear in the Bible, although it is clearly taught. In Matthew 28:19 (the Great Commission), Jesus commands his disciples to baptize in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, the three Persons of the Trinity. In the Old Testament, one of the Hebrew words used for God, "Elohim", is plural, suggesting God's plural personality.
2) Liberal appears no where in the Bible, but is just a different faction of Christianity.
3) Christmas appears no where in the Bible. Derived from Old English "Christs masse" (Christ's mass), it is today a celebration of Jesus' birth. It's origins are likely in the Pagan festivals of Saturnalia or Sol Invictus (Invicible Sun). The festivals were celebrated as births of sun-gods, so when Christianity took root in the Roman Empire, in an attempt to convert Pagans to Christianity, they allowed the Pagans to celebrate their festivals in a "Christian" manner, celebrating the birth of Jesus instead of the sun.
4) "Rapture" comes from the Latin Vulgate translation of 1 Thessalonians 4:17, the word rapere (meaning to carry off/carry up). The word Rapture itself doesn't actually appear in the Bible.

Answer 7

2 AND 4

Answer 8

4. Rapture

Answer 9

None. So, what's your point.

Trinity is a word to summerize what's described in the Bible about one God in three persons.

Liberal is another word that categorizes people just as conservative does (which also is not in the Bible).

Christmas was made up since no one knows when Jesus was born as a celebration of His birth. It doesn't matter if it is in the Bible or not, we should celebrate both His birth and death/ressurection.

Rapture is just another descriptive word that is used to describe a transition from our mortal bodies to our heavenly bodies when we are reunited with Christ.

Answer 10

None but neither is Google, and Internet, they still exist. hmmm Creationism isnt thier either nor is evolution.... nuclear physics isn't in there... Lightbulb isn't thier either, airplane nope I guess you are going to have to say christians can't believe in them either? LOL you are funny. Just because a specific "WORD" isn't in the bible doesn't mean the CONCEPT isnt there. The concept of the Trinity is Shadowed in the old testament many places (starting with GOD speaking who was he speaking TOO) The concept of Liberal is embodied in ... Nah that is too cheap a shot. The celebration of a mass(Holy display of joy) at Christs birth is shown as the angel sing on his birthday. The Concept of the Rapture is described in Revelations and in a few of Christs last teachings to the disciples.

Answer 11

I know for sure that rapture is. I don't think any of the others are. If you want to know where it is in the Bible, there should be an index in the back of it. It will tell you the verse where it is located.
