For your information Christian dont believe on trinity. Catholic who claim as a Christian are the one who made that belief.
Trinity is no longer found in the bible. i laso ask that trinity to the catholics , they maid to explain but not based on the bible.
So stop accusing Christian to a things what they do not do.
Again and again , Catholic is not a real Christian. read the bible well so that you can recognized who are the Christian, okay.
Any way, Christian is prone for false accusation, it is written in the bible.(2Pe 2:1 But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.
2Pe 2:2 And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.) (Mat 5:11 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.)
_______________________________________________
Catholic explanation about Trinity : (concise) God Almigthy,God the Son and the Holy Spirit are co-equal and omnipotent.(This doctrines is not biblical, thats why trin ity is no longer doctrines of real Christian)
In the bible they are not co equal. John 14:28 jesus said that his Father is greater than him.(Joh 14:28 Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I.) So it can not be that they are equal.
God is not omnipotent, Titus 1:2 In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began;
See that verse of the bible, God can not lie.
Many verses that can prove that God is not Omnipotent. Many versers too that can prove that God, Jesus and The Holy Spirit are not co equal. So Trinity is not biblical.

God is made up into 3 parts: God the Father, God the Son, & God the Holy Spirit. God the Father is the head figure, God the Son is our channel by which we get to the Father, and God the Holy Spirit resides in us if we have accepted Jesus into our hearts and he is the one who reveals things and speaks to us mainly through his word (bible), meditation, life events, etc... The Trinity is not clear cut in the bible like you want. All three are specifically talked about but not in the trinity sense. I believe in it mainly by faith and the bible says it.
You can't tell me there is no God because I experience him daily. If you or anyone else doesn't believe in God now, my friend there is coming a day when you will and it will be too late then. For the Athiest sake it is better to believe in something that you believe if foolishness than to find out later that it isn't. Hell will not have any Athiest there cause everyone will believe then.

It is the holy ghost that supports the trinity. The other two are confused as being the same. I mean, Jesus is both Son of God and God, but he is not the Father. Some also believe that Jesus was actually a human being until he got his wish and died a martyr. What needs to happen is allow the Christians to interpret the Koran, the Jews to interpret the Bible and Islamic to interpret the phone book.
Only at that time could a Christian have an informed and sensible answer to the one question that continues to plague womankind, "What is the difference between the concept of belief and the concept of faith?"

No, it is not in the Bible. The Bible speaks of the Father(God, Creator), The Son(Jesus,God incarnate form or in the flesh) and The Holy Ghost ( Spirit of God ).They are one in the same but different in their jobs. Like , I am a woman ,a daughter ,a sister, a mother, wife ,one person, but many titles. The Trinity is three, the Father ,The Son and The Holy Ghost. The reason I believe in it is because I believe in the Three. All different but the same . Seeing is not always believing.One can 't see the wind but you know it's there, you can feel it and see what it does but it's invisible. It's moving isn't it ? The air you breath ,can't see it but you know it's there . By Faith I believe ,not by sight.

Yikes! In some ways, this is like trying to explain democracy to a cave man - NOT to say that you are like a caveman! Its just that it would take more than just a lecture from me.
The word "trinity" with respect to God is not mentioned in the Bible. However, of course, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit are. Now, it is clear in several biblical verses that all are treated as worthy of praise and prayer, an astonishing fact for a bunch of monotheistic Jews. Historically, the Church had to deal with the fact that these were Jews who at the same time called Jesus "Lord". On the one hand was a heretic named Marcion who decided to extirpate any aspect of Judaism from Christianity. Given that he was (thankfully) declared a heretic, the Jewish root of the faith was affirmed. From this (and here I have to skip over a whole buunch of stuff!!!), it follwed that Jesus, God and the Spirit were worthy of worship while maintaining the belief in one God.
So, to explain what the Trinity IS (which is not possible to do for anyone sufficiently!!!), we can say that when one says "GOD", this means the three (Father, Son, Spirit) all at once. There is not one without the other two. Some theologians say that God is one with three modes of being or existence (not to be confused with modalism!!). In other words, God is the one who is God by being the Father, Son and Spirit. They all share in the same "substance" (a rather old and difficult word) with three "hypostases" (another word, which can basically means, persons, or ways of existence).
This is my feeble attempt to start an answer!!!

In Genesis 1: 26, "Then God said, ' Let US make man in OUR image, in OUR likeness...' Notice the US and OUR in that verse that shows that there is more than one in one god. It doesn' say "then the Gods." It's singular, but have more that one in them. Also in Mathew 28:18-19 when Jesus said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in in the name of the father and of the son and of the Holy spirit..." See there is the three spirits in God. Then there are other places in the Bible where it says the holy spirit raise Jesus from the dead, then another place it says the Father raise him from the dead, and also Jesus said he raise himself from the dead. That shows the trinity. But the Bible never says "trinity," but it gives a lot of hints that say that God is a trinity. I hope this helped some. I can't exactly explain the trinity. I am sorry, but it's hard for my mind to comprehened it.

The Trinity is a concept that is used by theologians to as a label for what the New Testament says on this topic--but it's not a specific term used in the Bible.
The idea is this: Following the Judeaic teaching (Old Testament) there is one God. However, the New Testament clearly refers to Christ as the son of God--and, particularly with reference to the Pentacost story--to the Holy Spirit as a seperate entity--yet in the full context of the New Testament, all three, wile distinct, are aspects of the Divinity.
Different denominations phrase this doctrine differently, but thats the essence. The usual teaching is that this idea of 3 Persons, one God is also seen as a "mystery" (the Roman Catholic term) that it is not given us to understand fully (again, other denominations phrase it differently, but teach what amounts to the same belief).
Hope that helps.

It's a difficult concept, but one helpful way it was explained to me is this:
When you're at work, you're an employee. When you're with your children, you're a parent. When you're with your parents, you're a child.
Therefore, you are three people even though you're one, and vice versa.
I hope that helped :)
As for where exactly the trinity is mentioned, there is no one specific verse. The references are scattered throughout the Bible ... "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was WITH God, and the Word WAS God (the Word is Jesus, BTW)" ... "and the Spirit of God came upon Him like a dove, and a voice from the heavens said 'this is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased ..." and so forth :)

God/Father, Son, Holy Spirit are all individualized but also noted as one in the bible, this is why people believe in the trinity.

Yes I do. The trinity is found in 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. Jesus is God in the flesh, God is the Holy Father in heaven who is the Creator and Sustainer of all things and who created the earth and the heavens and all that they contain. The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of God. Jesus, God and the Holy Spirit are one.
