Is the word TRINITY in any of the four Gospels?

Answer 1

nope.

and strangely, neither are any of the doctrine of modern day Christianity.

there is not a single statement in the Bible where Jesus says, "I AM GOD" either

not one.

everything that the present dya Christians follow is based on the resolutions passed in 325AD at the council of Nicea when the Arians Unitarian concept lost and the majority Alexandrians Trinity concept won favor.

Answer 2

No, I don't think the WORD trinity is mentioned in any of the four gospels, however, there are allusions to the word all over the Bible... For example:

Matthew 28:19, John 12:44-45, Ephesians 2:22

Answer 3

No, but it is referenced in the Great Commission at the end of the Gospel of Matthew and via a blessing in one of the letters of Paul.

"May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all." (II Corinthians 13:14)

However, it is by and large an extrapolation from the Bible, much like the Right to Privacy is an extrapolation from the US Constitution.

On a more deceitful note, the Vulgate (Latin version) of the Bible inserted into I John 5:8 a reference to the trinity, stating that the father, son and holy spirit were "one." However, this appears nowhere in the orignal Greek texts and is suspected to represent a post hoc insertion to help justify the doctrine of the Trinity. This verse is still in the King James version of the Bible, but has been omitted from most later English translations.

Answer 4

there are many words that are not in the bible. gracious look at a dictionary from today and one only 50 years ago.... there are many new words added every year. while to word Trinity isn't there, the conept sure is! Silly reference but – my name is there, is yours? That doesn’t mean it is wrong if it's not. cars are not in the scriptures, neither is internet.....

Mt 28:19 where Christ tells to go forth to all nations baptizing in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
another favorite is when a priest ends mass and quotes 2 Cor 13:14 The Grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the Love of God and the communion/fellowship of the Holy Ghost be with yo all. 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."

Answer 5

The word trinity is a word Christians use, (not in the Bible) instead of saying God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. You don't have to use it, you can say the long form if you want to be Biblical.
I notice from your questions you are really out to discredit the Bible and promote your Muslim faith. You will have to do better than that, Can you use a short form, pbuh, but we can't have our own short forms (trinity)?

Answer 6

Marysia is correct. The actual term is not in the bible because it is a term later used by christians to explain the concept that is in the gospels. The gospels speak of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit and Jesus himself said that 'I and the Father are one'.

Answer 7

Like many have said before me, the word isn't in there, but the concept is.

While I find it a dangerous thing to extropolate on any portion of my Bible (as I'm sure you think the same about your holy book, the Quran) I get the idea, and it is pretty simple. It's really just an effort to get our limited minds around such a complex Being as God/Allah/Jehovah is by saying that the Father is the 'brain', Jesus is the 'body' and the Holy Spirit is the 'soul'. It's how we see ourselves so it's how He explained it to us.

Answer 8

Nope. It's a concept that came along later in the development of Christianity. Some say that it's shown in the Bible, specifically in the beginning of the Gospel of John.

Answer 9

The word trinity is not anywhere in the Bible. It was a word coined in the early Christian years to describe the Triune God. God the Father,God the Son and God the Holy Spirit, the three that are one.

Answer 10

the word Trinity is not in the Bible, but their is references to a TRINITY.

Genesis 1:26 -- Then God said, "Let US make man in OUR image, to be like ourselves.

US, OUR, OURSELVES????? This is the first reference to God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.

When Jesus died and rose again, He told his disciples that God the Father would send the Holy Spirit to be with them.

The Holy Spirit could not be sent to the Earth until Jesus ascended into Heaven and took His place at the right hand of God.

Why???? If Jesus still stayed on the Earth He could only be at one place at one time, because he was still subject to our time and the Earth boundaries, everything physcial that man is limited too. When the Holy Spirit was sent to the Earth, this made it possible for Jesus to be everywhere at all times. God the Father is a SPIRIT, who is not limited to our time, space, resources, knowledge. Everything is unlimited and He is all-knowing(God the Father).

Answer 11

No! But don't take it from my word alone, consider the various citations regarding the error of the Trinity, by Roman Catholic Theologians, Protestants, Scholars & Historians, etc:

“The WORD Trinity is not found in the Bible It did not find a place formally in the theology of the church till the 4th century.” (The Illustrated Bible Dictionary)

The Encyclopedia of Religion says: “Theologians agree that the New Testament also does not contain an explicit doctrine of the Trinity.” Jesuit Fortman states: The New Testament writers . . . give us no formal or formulated doctrine of the Trinity, no explicit teaching that in one God there are three co-equal divine persons. . . . Nowhere do we find any trinitarian doctrine of three distinct subjects of divine life and activity in the same Godhead.”

The New Encyclopedia Britannica says: “Neither the WORD Trinity, nor the explicit doctrine as such, appears in the New Testament, nor did Jesus and his followers intend to contradict the Shema in the Old Testament: 'Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord' (Deut. 6:4). . . . The doctrine developed gradually over several centuries and through many controversies. By the end of the 4th century - the doctrine of the Trinity took substantially the form it has maintained ever since.” (1976), Micropedia, Vol. X, p. 126.

Johannes Greber (1874) a former of Catholic priest in his book 'The Communication with the Spirit World of God' in page 371 was written, "As you see, the doctrine of a triune Godhead is not only contrary to common sense, but is entirely unsupported by the Scriptures".

New Catholic Encyclopedia, 1967, Vol. XIV, p.295: "When one does speak of unqualified Trinitarianism, one has moved from the period of Christian origins to, say the last quadrant of the 4th century ... Herein lies the difficulty. On the one hand, it was the dogmatic formula "one God in Three Persons" that would henceforth for more than 15 centuries structure and guide the Trinitarian essence of the Christian message ... On the other hand, the formula itself does not reflect the immediate consciousness of the period of origins; it was the product of 3 centuries of doctrinal development."

". . . it is a remarkable fact, that no single passage or verse of the Old or New Testament is received as an assured proof-text of the trinity by the unanimous consent of all Trinitarian writers: some ground their faith on one passage, some on another." A Religious Encyclopædia: or Dictionary of Biblical, Historical, Doctrinal, and Practical Theology, Based on the Real-Encyklopädie of Herzog, Plitt, and Hauck.

In his book The Triune God, Jesuit Edmund Fortman admits: “The Old Testament . . . tells us nothing explicitly or by necessary implication of a Triune God who is Father, Son and Holy Spirit. . . . There is no evidence that any sacred writer even suspected the existence of a [Trinity] within the Godhead. . . . Even to see in [the “Old Testament”] suggestions or foreshadowings or ‘veiled signs’ of the trinity of persons, is to go beyond the words and intent of the sacred writers.”

Bernhard Lohse says in A Short History of Christian Doctrine: “As far as the New Testament is concerned, one does not find in it an actual doctrine of the Trinity.”

The New International Dictionary of New Testament Theology similarly states: “The New Testament does not contain the developed doctrine of the Trinity. Also the Bible lacks the express declaration that the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit are of equal essence said [Protestant theologian Karl Barth].”

Historian Arthur Weigall notes: “Jesus Christ never mentioned such a phenomenon, and nowhere in the New Testament does the word Trinity appear. The idea was only adopted by the Church three hundred years after the death of our Lord. ” The Paganism in Our Christianity.

In The Encyclopedia Americana we read: “Christianity derived from Judaism and Judaism was strictly Unitarian (believing that God is one being). The road which led from Jerusalem to Nicea was scarcely a straight one. Fourth century Trinitarianism did not reflect accurately early Christian teaching regarding the nature of God; it was, on the contrary, a deviation from this teaching.” (1956), Vol. XXVII, p. 294L.

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 Greek 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.
