The trinity isn't a sciptural doctrine. I think the Catholics picked it up from polytheism.

Even though the word trinity is not in the bible The very first verse in the bible shows a plurality of God that no one can undue because the word God is used in a plural sense where it could have been used in a singular. The word God in Genesis 1:1 is Elohiym (Strong's Concordance Hebrew #430) which is plural for Elowahh (Strong's Concordance Hebrew #433) which means a deity or the deity. Genesis 1:1 Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV) 1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. This idea of plurality For our creator is not troublesome when you embrace Christianity's trinity Doctrine. In John 1:1 here we find more detail about the Identity of Elohiym, Here we have God in a plural sense also, yet he is one. John 1:1Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV) 1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. In Isaiah 44:6 The LORD the king of Israel, and his redeemer The LORD of host make a proclamation in unity, notice the plurality in this passage: the LORD the king of Israel, AND his Redeemer the LORD of hosts. Isaiah 44:6Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV) 6 Thus saith the Lord the King of Israel, and his redeemer the Lord of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God. The Holy Spirit, the spirit of God (Elohiym) appears as early as Genesis 1:2. why didn't Moses write and God moved upon the face of the waters, It's because a distinction needed to be made for the sake of accuracy. Genesis 1:2Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV) 2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. John MacArthur pointed out a particularly powerful passage in Matthew 3:16-17 where the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit appear simultaneously. Matthew 3:16-17Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV) 16 And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him: 17 and lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. while the word trinity can't be found in the bible, the plural form of the word God was extensively used in the old testament Hebrew scriptures and the identity of Elohiym was fully revealed in the new testament by the unity of God in the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

The word "trinity" is not found anywhere in the bible, but the concept is in all versions of the Holy Bible. At the baptism of Christ, all Three are present in God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.
The Quran, though considered a holy book for Islam, is not a version of the "bible" meaning it does not claim to come from the same authors or translations as the Christian bible.

I have never seen the word trinity in the Bible.
Matthew 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
This passage of course is the Trinity without the actual word Trinity.

Trinty - the word won't be found
-here-
John I 5:6 This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth.
John I 5:7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word (John 1:1), and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.
Matthew 3:16 And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him:
Matthew 3:17 And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
Jesus - in the water -- Holy Spirit - coming down -- God speaking
John 14:16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;
John 14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
John 15:26 But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:
Jesus talking -- Subject - Holy Spirit -- Father - God

It may be in the Vulgate, because the word Trinity comes from the Latin, not the Greek, which the New Testament was written in. Same thing with the word disciple - that word is the Latin word. So no where in the Greek New Testament do you actually read about the 12 "disciples".

There is only one text. Many translations of that one text.
The Trinity is a word used for the three persons of GOD. Father Son and Spirit.
Gen 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.
Here is all three in one place,
Mat 3:16 And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him:
Mat 3:17 And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
There is three distinct persons mentioned in the Bible.

I find no such thing in my Bible,I think this is a Catholic doctrine.
The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit are to be revered,They most high in Heaven.The Holy Bible does not say they are One.

there are no verses that say "trinity", but the idea is apparent throughout the Bible.
A Hebrew name for God is "El Echad"-the one God, but this "one" is composite unity. "yachid" is another jewish word used for "absolute unity".
Jesus accepted worship in John 9.
God said in Genesis "Let US make man in OUR image."
Anyway, hope it helps. Merry Christmas. Eid Mubarak.
