is the Trinity a bible teaching?

Question

the word 'Trinity' is not in the bible

in the instances where it is referred to, (as persons commonly take to be trinity) there are only two mentioned, and 'tri' has to be three

Answer 1

The Trinity is NOT in the bible

'A Dictionary of Religious Knowledge' notes that many say that the Trinity - “is a corruption borrowed from the heathen religions, and ingrafted on the Christian faith.” And 'The Paganism in Our Christianity' affirms: “The origin of the [Trinity] is entirely pagan.”—
JOHN 3:16
JOHN 14:28.

Answer 2

Here is one Bible verse that confirms
the God in 3 Parts, the triune God, or the Trinity if you prefer:

1 John 5:7 "For there are three that bear record in heaven, The Father, The word, and The Holy Ghost, and these three are one."

Some other verses are: Genesis 1:1,2, and 26, John 1:1, 14:26, and Daniel 7:13. There are many more, but I'm not doing your homework .

Answer 3

The Trinity is 3 persons in one God, it could be described as 3 personalities. The Triune nature of God is hinted at right at the beginning of the Bible in the Book of Genesis where God is portrayed as having a conversation with Himself. He speaks in the plural when He says "let us make man in our image, in our likeness", Gen 26. Of course, when this part of the Bible was written the writers had no concept of the Trinity, yet they still used the plural form in spite of this, as this was what had been revealed to them by God. With the coming of Jesus all this became clear and then people began to understand why the early scripture writers had used a plural form for God.

Answer 4

The trintiy is God the Father, God the son, and God the Holy Ghost.

Read Genesis 1 where man is made in "our" image. For that is the trinity that created everything together.

Genesis 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
us Gen 11:7

This is when they made man in the image of their spirits. That was before that placed the spirit into the body that was made out of the dust of the earth, which took place in Genesis 2

Genesis 2:7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

The trintiy was the one who did all that. God is the Father, the son and the Holy Ghost.

Answer 5

trinitarianism
The doctrine of trinitarianism is the orthodox Christian belief that whereas God may be singular in power or essence, God also exists as three persons: God the Father, God the Son (Jesus) and God the Holy Spirit.

It is interesting to note that the term trinity appears absolutely nowhere in the New Testamant. The scriptural origins for trinitarian thinking can be found in the verses such as:

Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost... (Matthew 28:19)

Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied. (1 Peter 1:2)

Obviously these passages do not describe a three-in-one god, nor do they necessarily require belief in one. They do, however, set the stage for the development of Christian trinitarianism later on. It was not, in fact, until the 4th century that theologians began to officially describe God as three persons (hypostases) with one being (ousia).

Answer 6

The "trinity", or GODHEAD as its called in the Bible, is three persons, the FATHER, SON, HOLY SPIRIT.

Each of these are seperate beings. Though, the SON, JESUS CHRIST often refered, that HE and HIS FATHER were of the "same mind", meaning HE wouldnt do anything that HIS FATHER wouldnt approve of, and what ever HE did, was acceptable, because it was in the "name" fo the FATHER, and every action was "approved" by our FATHER.

Now, the HOLY SPIRIT, is the "comfortor" that was sent, after JESUS CHRIST ascended into Heaven. The Holy Spirit dwells in each of us. (Its that little voice inside your head that tells you that your doing wrong, when you "know" its wrong, and tells you that you ought not do it!).

Some people dont hear it, because they turned against our LORD. They tune the Holy Spirit out. Others ignore him because they want to "do thier own thing" and not think of repercussions later on.

Those who are "Saved" listen to him all the time and heed all warnings. They want to be "right" in GOD'S eyes.

So, you have three seperate entities, and they are all called the Trinity, by the Catholic Church, so that they dont have to say the FATHER, SON and HOLY SPIRIT.

Answer 7

If you look at the references individually of actions and attributes of God the Father, God the Holy Spirit and God The Son, you will find that they are things that could only be attributed to God. Such as the Creative aspects of Jesus, The Omniscience of the Holy Spirit, and The omniprescence of God the Father.

In the instance of the baptism of Jesus you will note that all three persons of the Triune God were present and distinct from one another.

Also the plurality of God before creation, angelic or otherwise, was neccessary in order for Love to have an expression. The subjective experience of love can be expressed by two agents intimately involved in the act of benevolence but it would take one additional entity within the Godhead in order to demonstrate both the subjective and objective truth of Love in eternity.

The way this works out is as follows: Love between the Father and Son is subjective reality and declared by the Holy Spirit is the Objective witness. Love between the Son and Spirit=Subjective. Declared by the Father=Objective witness. Love between the Spirit and the Father=Subjective experience. Declared by the Son=Objective Witness.

Answer 8

many scriptures in badly translated bibles can be twisted to the idea of the trinity. the new world translation of the holy scriptures is widely regarded by scholars as the most accurate translation of the bible. it includes Jehovah's name for one thing, as well as including different words for god and God whichwere spelt differently in the original hebrew and greek.
as for the teachings in the bible, Jesus always said he was the son not the father. he always stopped people worshipping him and told them to worship his father. if he were one and the same, why would he stop people worshipping him?
he is discribed in the bible as the firstborn of all creation(colossians 1:15), not the creator.
the holy spirit is also a separate entity. Jesus said he must die to send another comforter. if they were the same, why would he have to die to send it?
and if he were God, when he died who was there to resurrect him? God,the Son and the Holy spirit would have died as one. there would have been no one to resurrect them, as Jesus always said his power was from his father, and he would be dead so there would be no power. besides, God is the alpha and the omega, the one having no end. how can someone with no end die for three days? that is an end and another beginning.
the trinity contradicts bible teachings

Answer 9

“Concerning that day and hour nobody knows, neither the angels of the heavens nor the Son, but only the Father.” (Matthew 24:36) How do these words confirm that Jesus is not Almighty God?

Jesus says that the Father knows more than the Son does. If Jesus were part of Almighty God, however, he would know the same facts as his Father. So, then, the Son and the Father cannot be equal. Yet, some will say: ‘Jesus had two natures. Here he speaks as a man.’ But even if that were so, what about the holy spirit? If it is part of the same God as the Father, why does Jesus not say that it knows what the Father knows?

1st of all Jesus said: He pointed to God as the Source of his life, saying, “I live because of the Father.” According to the context, this meant that his life resulted from or was caused by his Father, even as the gaining of life by dying men would result from their faith in Jesus’ ransom sacrifice.—Joh 6:56, 57.

Jesus’ being called the “only-begotten Son” (Joh 1:14; 3:16, 18) does not mean that the other spirit creatures produced were not God’s sons, for they are called sons as well. (Ge 6:2, 4; Job 1:6) However, by virtue of his being the sole direct creation of his Father, the firstborn Son was unique, different from all others of God’s sons, all of whom were created or begotten by Jehovah through that firstborn Son. So “the Word” was Jehovah’s “only-begotten Son” in a particular sense,

Jesus is also “Mighty God” and “Eternal Father.” This does not mean that he usurps the authority and position of Jehovah, who is “God our Father.” (2 Corinthians 1:2) “He [Jesus] . . . gave no consideration to a seizure, namely, that he should be equal to God.” (Philippians 2:6) He is called Mighty God, not Almighty God. Jesus never thought of himself as God Almighty, for he spoke of his Father as “the only true God,” that is, the only God who should be worshiped. (John 17:3;


Rev. 1:1; 3:14, RS: “The revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave him, why did God have to give the revelation to Jesus, if he is God? .

Does the Bible teach that none of those who are said to be included in the Trinity is greater or less than another, that all are equal, that all are almighty? Mark 13:32, RS: “Of that day or that hour no ones knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.” (Of course, that would not be the case if Father, Son, and Holy Spirit were coequal, comprising one Godhead. And if, as some suggest, the Son was limited by his human nature from knowing, the question remains, Why did the Holy Spirit not know?)

John 14:28, RS: “[Jesus said:] If you loved me, you would have rejoiced, because I go to the Father; for the Father is greater than I.”

1 Cor. 11:3, RS: “I want you to understand that the head of every man is Christ, the head of a woman is her husband, and the head of Christ is God.” (Clearly, then, Christ is not God, and God is of superior rank to Christ. It should be noted that this was written about 55 C.E., some 22 years after Jesus returned to heaven.

A person who is really seeking to know the truth about God is not going to search the Bible hoping to find a text that he can construe as fitting what he already believes. He wants to know what God’s Word itself says. He may find some texts that he feels can be read in more than one way, but when these are compared with other Biblical statements on the same subject their meaning will become clear. It should be noted at the outset that most of the texts used as “proof” of the Trinity actually mention only two persons, not three; so even if the Trinitarian explanation of the texts were correct, these would not prove that the Bible teaches the Trinity.
