In the current Patriarchal written Bible NO. That was added by the Roman Catholic Church when it took in the rites and rituals of the Pagans to try and get them to convert to Christianity.
Most Pagan forms of Religions have many Gods and Goddess with triple forms and powers.

Its not a theory its a doctrine. The word Trinity was not in the Greek New Testament but in the Latin. Same thing with the word "disciple" though, which is also a Latin word. Consistently the New Testament refers to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, and obviously the three are quite supernatural and higher than the angels, yet the New Testament does not solidly state that the three are one being which we call God. The early church was more concerned with what to do with the Gentiles instead of the unity of what has become known as the Trinity. At church councils in the early third century they decided like 200 to 2 that Jesus was God.

Pagans acknowledge the triple Goddess ...
The Maiden
The Mother
The Chrone
It wouldn't surprise me if this predated the Christian Holy Trinity of God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit, the similarities seem to co-incidental and Christianity has had a habit throughout history to borrow from Paganism to popularise itself.

it is not biblical. "When controversy over the matter of the Trinity blew up in 318 between two church men from Alexandria - Arius, the deacon, and Alexander, his bishop - Emperor Constantine stepped into the fray.
Although Christian dogma was a complete mystery to him, he did realize that a unified church was necessary for a strong kingdom. When negotiation failed to settle the dispute, Constantine called for the first ecumenical council in Church history in order to settle the matter once and for all.
Six weeks after the 300 bishops first gathered at Nicea in 325, the doctrine of the Trinity was hammered out. The God of the Christians was now seen as having three essences, or natures, in the form of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit."

The trinity is not overtly found in the Bible. There are some references to it in the Old Testament, just as there are references to it in the New Testament. Jesus doesn't specifically refer to a Trinity.
The first explicit reference to the Trinity is found in Corinthians 13:14. it can also be found in Matthew 28:19.

Trinity Definition: Within the nature of the One True God, there simultaneously exists three eternal Persons, namely, God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. All three Persons are co-equals in all the attributes of the Divine Nature.

I can quite imagine it being possible that this concept came from pagan origins! I think maybe COnstantine came up with this concept! And no, it's not biblical!
