So,where is the concept of trinity?

Question

Moses said in the bible:
Shema Yisrael Adonai eloheinu Adonai ehad) "

"Hear O Israel, the Lord is our God, the Lord is One"

It says in the deut 6:4

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.
John 20:17
Jesus said to her, "Stop clinging to Me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father; but go to My brethren and say to them, 'I ascend to My Father and your Father, and My God and your God.'???

Answer 1

it means that
1+1+1=1!!!!!!!!!!!!!
father , son and the holy spirit

Answer 2

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 3

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."

which all confirms that yes, the Lord God is one and where the "concept" of the Trinity is born. there are many words used today that are not in the Bible - doesn't mean they are wrong :)

Answer 4

Matthew 28 verse 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." The word Trinity is basically a shortening of "the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Ghost."

I know the Ethiopian Tewahedo benediction: Besme Ab we Weld we Menfes Qiddus Ahadu Amlak lezelalem Amen.

In the name of the Father and of the Son, and the Holy Spirit, One God Forever Amen.

Even when the Torah uses the name "Elohim", testifies to God's triune oneness.

Answer 5

To start with, the very 1st chapter, Genesis 1: 26-27.

26
4 Then God said: "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. Let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, and the cattle, and over all the wild animals and all the creatures that crawl on the ground."
27
God created man in his image; in the divine image he created him; male and female he created them.

Terminology used for the one God in this creation account indicates a "plurality,"... in the word itself.

Jesus also said that if His disciples had seen Him then they had seen the Father, for He & the Father are One.

Jesus also prayed for His disciples to be one as He & the Father were One, yet He made a distinction that He & the Father were also two : some had said He merely testified of Himself as they agreed that testimony was to be founded on 2 or more witnesses. Jesus let them know that His testimony WAS true and was based on these 2 witnesses: His testimony & His Father's testimony, -- GOD --, Who vouched for Jesus in the form of miracles from Heaven.

Later, Jesus told His disciples that He was going away & that He would send the Comforter (the Holy Spirit) and that that would only happen when He left.

Another disciple later looked into Heaven and saw Jesus at the right hand of God the Father.

More references exist, too, and it is like a matter of putting the pieces of a puzzle together. Sometimes we just have to admit we don't comprehend something. Hey, like how can something be said to be multiple and also said to be one? Man, could it be that the Bible is mixed up?? No,... we're just too simple-minded or ignorant. Hey, a rope is one, yet it is multiple ( duplicate strands all alike & all going the same direction, etc.) Often, people also don't know the original languages, and this leads to problems, since there are sometimes no perfect words or too few words to accurately translate the thought & intention of what was said in the original language/s.

The Holy Spirit is often referred to with a masculine pronoun in scripture, like "He." However, it is Jesus through Whom believers have redemption, so GOD seems glad to exalt Jesus Christ so people may know salvation through Him & His Name.

Answer 6

Matthew 3:16 - 17 (NIV) 'As soon as Jesus was baptized, He went up out of the water. At that moment heaven was opened, and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and lighting on Him. And a voice from heaven said, "This is My Son whom I love; with Him I am well pleased.'

This is the ONLY scripture in the Bible where the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are together.

Answer 7

The Lord IS One. The idea of the Trinity is that the One God is three persons, or as I like to think of it, God is one family or community of love. While I believe there are implicit references in the Old Testament to the different persons, the Biblical basis for the trinitarian view comes from the New Testament (e.g., "This is my beloved Son, hear him" "The Father and I are one" "I will send my Spirit.")

Answer 8

There is absolutely no support for the concept of the trinity in the Old Testament (i.e. the Jewish Bible) which is why you do not find the concept of Trinity in Judaism. In fact, such a belief would go against the fundamentals of Judaism.

As to someone's point that Elohim is plural, I would just point out that in one place in the Bible (Exodus) Moses is referred to as an Elohim (lord) to Pharoah. As it turns out, Moses was not a plural but a single man.

Answer 9

Isaiah 48:16:

16Come ye near unto me, hear ye this; I have not spoken in secret from the beginning; from the time that it was, there am I: and now the Lord GOD, and his Spirit, hath sent me.

Elohim is a plural form of Hebrew.

there are many more, but chew on this awhile, don't want to choke ya

Answer 10

God is composed of a mind(God the father), a body(Jesus the son.), and a soul(God the Holy Spirit/Holy Ghost), in the same sense that we as humans have a mind, body, and spirit. Three parts of one single whole. That is the concept of the Trinity.

Answer 11

Indeed... the Trinity is a Christian concept, not Jewish.... Couldn't have a Trinity without a son (Jesus) to begin with! The New Testament speaks of the Holy Spirit (aka Holy Ghost) - remembering that the three are indeed manifestations of the Christian god.
