Answer 2

The trinity concept is based on a gnostic principle called "legos", that the father, son and holy ghost are one. This concept which the gnostics developed was created many years after the deaths of the apostles, the leaders of the church.
Because all the leaders were dead and the bishops only had authority over their congregation, and no authority over others, new doctrines were created by several people including the trinity.
Three hundred years after the apostles died the "legos" concept now renamed the "trinity" by christian wantabe leaders so it could not be traced back to the gnostocts was the mainstream viewpoint.
Constantine united the church, renaming it the Cathlic Church and caused new principles to be created to unite the several dozen different christian bishops and leaders. Among this was the trinity. Constantine thought the trinity was a rediculous concept, not worth arguing about, of which I have him quoting. Three bishops were excommunicated and exiled from the church and surrounding areas because they disagreed with the new doctrine. As well, Constantine had no authority to do this, he was not even a baptized christian till his death bed, but was a pagan sun worshiper. Any doctrine or church he created is false just like he was.

Of course the trinity is never mentioned in the bible or any other ancient scripture. It was never a legitimate doctrine until the cathlic church was created, three hundred years after the death of the apostles. This is a false doctrine. The early church believed that the father, the son and the holy ghost were all seperate individuals. I think it ironic that most christians believe that no new doctrine can be added to their believes when this doctrine, and SEVERAL others they believe in, are new and never originally believed in.
I have studied this and several other issues, you may contact me if you have other questions.

Answer 3

I'm not a Christian, or a Christian apologists. Just trying to bring some balance and common sense into the picture.
Probably because the word "Trinity" was invented by Christians to describe the Father-Son-Holy Spirit relationship many years after the books of the Bible had been penned. We have lots of words and phrases invented after the fact that "aren't mentioned" in the Bible because the word or phrase or concept was introduced later. Here are some examples

premarital sex
living together
pot, marijuana
tobacco
communion (some translations, at least)
proselytize
etc, etc, etc.

Answer 4

Because, like a great deal of the contemporary "Biblical knowledge" it isn't based on Biblical teachings, but rather medieval and contemporary dogma.

The same as The Rapture, an event we gain from the visions of a 15-year old girl in the United Kingdom during the early 19th century.

Or the marvelous details of the Passion of Christ ... an event that has very little detail in the Gospels of the Bible, but gains clarity through the delusional visions of a medieval nun.

I find great interest in how so much information, supposedly found in the Bible by those who continually tell others to read it for clarity, is not in the Bible at all ... but rather a form of Christian-oriented legend retold so often it has "become true".

Kinda like urban legends, but not as cool.

Answer 5

II. PROOF OF DOCTRINE FROM SCRIPTURE
A. New Testament

The evidence from the Gospels culminates in the baptismal commission of Matthew 28:20. It is manifest from the narratives of the Evangelists that Christ only made the great truth known to the Twelve step by step. First He taught them to recognize in Himself the Eternal Son of God. When His ministry was drawing to a close, He promised that the Father would send another Divine Person, the Holy Spirit, in His place. Finally after His resurrection, He revealed the doctrine in explicit terms, bidding them "go and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost" (Matthew 28:18). The force of this passage is decisive. That "the Father" and "the Son" are distinct Persons follows from the terms themselves, which are mutually exclusive. The mention of the Holy Spirit in the same series, the names being connected one with the other by the conjunctions "and . . . and" is evidence that we have here a Third Person co-ordinate with the Father and the Son, and excludes altogether the supposition that the Apostles understood the Holy Spirit not as a distinct Person, but as God viewed in His action on creatures.

Answer 6

the trinity doctrine does not originate in the Bible.
It predates Jesus life upon the earth by thousands of years.
Over time, 'Christendom' ( the empiricle incarnation of Christianity, basically the apostasized form of Christianity), adopted the Idea that Jesus was co-equal to Almighty God.
Later through debates and councils, the concept of the 'trinity'
was voted into doctrine. This entirely omitted the fact that the explicit teaching is nowhere to be found in the Bible.

Also, try this:
Look at John 1:1
Compare to John 1:18
I have yet for a trinitarian to harmonize these two scriptures!

Answer 7

You are correct, many words are used by Man that were not used by the writers of the Bible like Rapture. but every one is aware of the Catching away in the Bible, & the Father Son & Holy Spirit so called Trinity.

Answer 8

the word "Trinity" does not exist in the Bible, but there are numerous references to the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, which make up the Trinity. And the thing that Rojo said about Protestants not beliving in Trinity is not always true, because I believe in it and I am a Protestant.

Answer 9

The "Triune God" IS mentioned in numerous places. Triune= TRI, is 3, - "une" is translated ONE.

Joh 1:1 In the beginning was the Word [or, the Expression of [divine] Logic], and the Word was with [or, in communion with] God, and the Word was God [or, was as to His essence God].
Joh 1:2 This One was in the beginning with God.
Joh 1:3 All [things] came to be through Him, and without Him not even one thing came to be which has come to be.
Joh 1:4 In Him was life, and the life was the light of the people.
Joh 1:5 And the Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not apprehend it.

In Genesis 1:2 it tells us that the Spirit of God, (#3) moved across the waters...(H7307- Strongs Bible concordence and dictionary describes it thus:

רוּח (Hebrew )

rûach (Spirit)

roo'-akh (The way ruach is prononced)

Description and definition:

From H7306; wind; by resemblance breath, that is, a sensible (or even violent) exhalation; figuratively life, anger, unsubstantiality; by extension a region of the sky; by resemblance spirit, but only of a rational being (including its expression and functions): - air, anger, blast, breath, X cool, courage, mind, X quarter, X side, spirit ([-ual]), tempest, X vain, ([whirl-]) wind (-y).)

Answer 10

Simply because the Council of Trent in the sixth century (composed of some old superstitious men) decided it was so. At the same time, they threw out several scrolls of common stories that had sprung into the faithful and included others into what we now know as the Bible. Not very inspiring, but true.

Answer 11

John 1:1-In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

John 1:14-And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth

Joel 2:28-And it shall come to pass afterward that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh;

John 4:24-God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth

John 14:6-Jesus said to him [Thomas]. "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."

While it does not come out and say "Trinity," it is implied
