Why do chrisitians believe in the trinity?

Question

I don't understand how chrisitians believe in the trinity and it's not in the bible, and if it's not in the bible where did it come from.

Answer 1

A true Christian does not believe or teach that the creator is a trinity. Trinity (or 3-in-one Deities) is a pagan belief transferred to Christendom’s Doctrine. The origin is facinating. This very old book documents the history of Trinities http://www.biblebelievers.com/babylon/sect21.htm

Scriptures have been tampered with, (KJ 1Jo 5:7), and God’s personal name has been removed from the bible text to help sell this false belief. It is not taught in the Bible anywhere. Jesus Christ did not teach it to his followers. It is a difficult, if not impossible concept for anyone to rectify and harmonize with true, important Bible concepts such as the Ransom and the messiah-ship.

Jesus Clearly and repeatedly showed himself to be separate and subordinate to his heavenly father who is named in the Bible several thousands of times, (Jehovah). His apostles consistently manifested a belief in a supreme being who was not the same individual as Jesus Christ.

Jesus Christ is the name of the individual who was transferred by supernatural power to the womb of a virgin to become a perfect HUMAN. He was the very first thing created by the creator. Before becoming human, his very being was exactly the same as his creator’s. His very personality, his goals, his desires, his love, is exactly the same as his father. Everything else created was created by the father but through and with the son. He became God’s spokesman or mouthpiece and that is why he carries the name and title “Word”. He commands all of the armies of angels. He is the authentic “seed” who will champion all of the Creator’s purposes and return the universe to the situation originally purposed by Jehovah God the creator, as the King of God’s Kingdom, (A government with a heavenly seat). He is the Messiah, and the Ransomer who redeemed the lives of all humanity by paying the ransom price lost by the original human pair. He gave his perfect human life to pay that price. He did not pay that ransom price with a Creator’s life or a God’s life. His father, (a separate all powerful individual who was still alive) Resurrected him from death, (Hell) to a life once again as a spirit creature like he was before and sat him on a throne at his right hand to wait until his Kingdom rule was to begin.

Holy Spirit is not an individual personality; it is God’s active force or power.

Christendom will be held responsible for the perpetuation of the filthy trinity doctrine

Answer 2

True Christians do not believe in the trinity. The trinity doctrine did not come become "Christian" until after the Council of Constantinople in 381 CE, more than 300 years AFTER the Bible was completed. At the Council of Nicea in 325 CE, the bishops there determined that Jesus and his Father were of the same substance, but they said NOTHING about the holy spirit being a part of that union. If the trinity were clearly taught in the Bible, why did it take those clergymen so long to make a decision that the trinity existed?

Trinitarians try their best to show that the Bible supports their beliefs. For example, they may use John 10:30, where Jesus said: "I and the Father are one." Do you see anything in that verse that even remotely implies that God is made up of 3 co-eternal, co-equal persons that make up the same God? I don't see it. Do you?

How about Gen. 1:26? It says in part: "Let us make man in our image." Does this prove the trinity? Trinitarians insist that "us" means one person of God is talking to two other persons of the same God. Without a qualifier, why are we to assume that "us" means three persons? "Us" could be ANY number of persons. This shows how desperate trinitarians are to try and prove the Bible agrees with their pagan ideas.

So the bottom line is that true Christians do NOT believe in the trinity.

Answer 3

in accordance to Judaism, Islam (like Judaism) is monotheistic; Christianity is sheetuf, meaning Christianity teaches that God is a partnership of three co-equivalent persons. that's to not say Islam is 'greater advantageous' than Christianity; Islam remains a pretend faith, and Mohammad replace right into a pretend prophet. all of us be attentive to this by way of fact Mohammad claimed that he had conversations with an perspective (Gabriel, to be good), and this angel instructed Mohammad what we come across in the Koran. regrettably, the Koran gets many key sections of the Torah incorrect. Muslims declare, case in point, that Abrham certain and just about sacrificed Ishmael, not Isaac, that's incorrect. The Muslims declare that the Torah replace into corrupted, yet that may not possible, when you consider that each and every Torah scroll in the worldwide is strictly, letter for letter comparable to the different Torah scroll. So, Islam is monotheistic, yet that doesn't mean that is any further advantageous than the different fake faith, of which Islam is only between the various.

Answer 4

The trinity wasn't developed until 325AD at the Council of Nicaea. (Edit: My mistake, after researching it's actually the Council of Constantinople as someone below mentioned.) In fact, early Christians thought Jesus Christ was not god himself but simply sent by god. Most of the New Testament Scriptures were finished before Nicaea, so that's why you don't see the mention of the trinity in earlier translations of the Bible.

However, many modern translations of the bible have included the mention of the trinity to coincide with dogmatic tradition. Sneaky how they did that, huh?

Answer 5

As a christian, I don't belief in a trinity.

Why?

According to the Nouveau Dictionnaire Universel, “The Platonic trinity, itself merely a rearrangement of older trinities dating back to earlier peoples, appears to be the rational philosophic trinity of attributes that gave birth to the three hypostases or divine persons taught by the Christian churches. . . . This Greek philosopher’s [Plato, fourth century B.C.E.] conception of the divine trinity . . . can be found in all the ancient [pagan] religions.”—(Paris, 1865-1870), edited by M. Lachâtre, Vol. 2, p. 1467.

John L. McKenzie, S.J., in his Dictionary of the Bible, says: “The trinity of persons within the unity of nature is defined in terms of ‘person’ and ‘nature’ which are G[ree]k philosophical terms; actually the terms do not appear in the Bible. The trinitarian definitions arose as the result of long controversies in which these terms and others such as ‘essence’ and ‘substance’ were erroneously applied to God by some theologians.”—(New York, 1965), p. 899.

So it is from Plato, and an error applied to God.

Answer 6

The Bible clearly teaches that Jesus is God (cf. John 8:58, 10:38, 14:10; Col. 2:9). It also clearly teaches that the Holy Spirit is God (cf. Acts 5:3–4, 28:25–28; 1 Cor. 2:10–13). Everyone agrees the Father is God. Yet there is only one God (Mark 12:29, 1 Cor. 8:4–6, Jas. 2:19).

Jesus tells his apostles to baptize "in the name [notice, singular, not plural] of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit" (Matt. 28:19). This is a proof-text: three distinct Persons united in the one divine name. In 2 Corinthians 13:14, Paul writes, "The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all." We see this same unity of divine Persons in 1 Corinthians 12:4–11, Ephesians 4:4–6, and 1 Peter 1:2–3.

Answer 7

The trinity is in the Bible. The word was created by man as a term used to describe its concept. So even though trinity the word is not in the bible, it definately is in the Bible.

Answer 8

The word trinity is not in the bible, but the concept is. The bible DOES say that the Father is God, The Son Jesus is God, and the Holy Spirit is God. Three distinct personalities, one Godhead.

In Dallas there is a river called the Trinity River. Named so because it is one river, but three rivers at the same time. Three forks of it Elm Fork West Fork and East Fork and each is about 25 miles from each other. It is one river, but three parts.

Answer 9

I would have to agree with you as to why people who claim to be christians would worship a pagan doctrine that is clearly not mentioned or taught in the Bible neither Jesus or his Apoostles believed in or taught such an absurd notion what Jesus did teach is that he is the SON OF GOD AND NOT GOD HE SAID HE CAME TO DO HIS FATHERS WILL AND WHEN HE DIED IT WAS HIS FATHER WHO RESURECTED HIM AND ON HIS ASCENSION TO HEAVEN IN JOHN 20: 17 jESUS SAID IN PART " iAM ASCENDING TO MY FATHER AND YOUR FATHER AND TO MY GOD AND YOUR GOD " AND ALSO IN JOHN 14: 28 AGAIN JESUS SAID IAM GOING MY WAY TO THE FATHER BECAUSE THE FATHER IS GREATER THAN I AM SO THERE IS CLEARY 2 SEPERATE DISTINCT PERSON MENTIONED A FATHER AND A SON THE HOLY SPIRIT IS NOT A PERSON BUT GODS ACTIVE FORCE AND THE trinity doctrine comes from pagan sources such as plato and also Emperor constantine has it added to the body ofApostate teachings when he formed the official state religion composed of teachings of Apostate christianity and paganism as they had radically drifted and deviated from Jesus teachings by 325 C.E. true CHRISTIANITY REFUSED THIS AND OTHER APOSTATE TEACHINGS THAT WHY HISTORIANS MAKE A DIOSTINCTION BETWEEN PROFFESSED CHRISTIANS WHO SUSCRIBE TO IT AND OTHER APOSTATE TEACHINGS AS " CHRISTENDOM " TO SET THEM APART FROM TRUE CHRISTIANITY WHICH FOLLOWS JESUS TEACHINGS FROM THE ORIGINAL BIBLE Gorbalizer

Answer 10

Christians believe a lot of things that are not in the Bible.

Did you know that no where in the Bible did Jesus ever say "I am God"

Of course there isn't much evidence that Jesus ever existed except the Bible (created by primative man) so that's a problem in and of itself.
