That because it is not there. Jesus never not once said that he was God. He did say that he and his Father are one, but that means in union. Because a husband and wife are one, but we know that they are really two. Jesus said to his disciples to become one. This just means in union. Trinity is based on false gods.

Gospel is a religion of new things, new life, new name, beginning. Why Not. clonned humans be baptized in trinity. There's no exception or morally wrong if it is to save soul. Anything good comes from above. What will Jesus say about clonning? He was born by the Holy Spirit.God did not succintly tell about the Trinity because He respects your intelligence being born on modern times that you could understand matters better by implication. Jesus said, I send you the Holy Spirit as the Father has sent me. I think that will suffice.

Hey, great question! The idea of a Triun God is held by Christians based on the Bible as a whole and repeated references to the connection between the three. The Gospels clearly show that Jesus Christ is fully God and yet fully man. He called himself "Son" to give us an example of the closeness the Father wants with his children (anyone who believes). Jesus is clearly shown to be God (John 1:1 "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God..." and later in John 1:14 it says "...and the Word became flesh..."). The Holy Spirit is literally the Spirit of God which works in our lives. It's the part of God which interacts the most with us. Just because the Bible doesn't use the exact word, "Trinity," doesn't mean that God is not One in three parts. Like one snowman has three snowballs which comprise it, and each part of the snowman has a role to play and is equally part of the one snowman, so it is with the God of Heaven and Earth. Thanks for the question...

Cloning is taking an organism and producing from it another organism that is genetically identical.
Trinity is the belief that the one true God has three centres of consciousness, one being but with three wills. All three act in unity of purpose, the Son and the Spirit submitting to the will of the Father.
With cloning, you are producing an independent organism, so the two ideas are unrelated.
Where did the idea come from? It's not explicitly taught in the Bible, I agree. It's a human "invention" (if you like) to explain certain things that the Bible tells us that we can't explain any other way. Facts like:
-- there is one and only one God
-- Jesus spoke of God as "Father"
-- Jesus himself made claims to deity (e.g., "before Abraham was, I am")
-- Jesus said he obeys the Father who sent him
-- Jesus spoke of the Holy Spirit as another counsellor like himself
-- Jesus said the Father would send the Spirit
-- at Jesus' baptism, Father, Son and Spirit were simultaneously present as three individuals
So although like I said it's a human invention, the Christian doctrine of the Trinity is based on Biblical teachings.

Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit
Matthew 28:18-19
This is he who came by water and blood--Jesus Christ; not by the water only but by the water and the blood. And the Spirit is the one who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth. For there are three that testify: the Spirit and the water and the blood; and these three agree.
1 John 5:6-8
May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.
1 Corinthians 13:14
The word Trinity is not there but what it describes is

I don't subscribe to the trinity. My understanding is that Jesus was sent to earth on a misson by his father. My understanding also is that Jesus returned to heaven after his death to be with his father. My understanding is that Jesus father made Jesus King of all believers. Therefore Jesus and his father are two different individuals.
Trinity is nowhere in the bible as you stated. Non of the christians in the bible suggested the term to the congregations. I think it originated with the Catholic church in 300 - 400 AD or so along with a lot of new teachings under emperor Constatine.
Good question

Trinity....Tri-unity....3 in 1 but not like 3 bananas. Think of the Godhead as a lightbulb. One lightbulb emits energy (God the Father), it gives off heat (Jesus the Son) and gives off light (the Holy Spirit, the Illuminator). They are separate and distinct but the heat and light come forth from the energy. True, a lightbulb is an invented source of energy but the logic is the same.
Jesus did say to Baptize "In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit".
PS...the words "Incarnation" and "rapture" are not in the bible, either.

ELOHIM
YOU DON'T READ HEBREW?
ARAMIAC?
COPTIC?
SCRIPTURE WAS NOT WRITTEN IN ENGLISH..TRINITY AN ENGLISH WORD....
BUT ELOHIM IS....THE TRUE SOURCE.........
ELOHIM--PLURIAL REFERENCES TO THE TRINITY..
IN THE TONGUE OF GOD'S PEOPLE..
NO VOWELS IN HEBREW........
Deuteronomy 6:4 states, "The LORD our Elohim is one LORD." In John 17:5, Jesus establishes that there was a time when He was alongside the Father, but now He says that He is with, alongside of, His disciples. He is not alongside of the Father, and in this context, He asks the Father, "that they [the apostles] may be one as we are." What kind of oneness is this, if it is not being "alongside of"? John 17:21 shows this unity is actually "inside of"!
YOU WILL SEE ELOHIM ALL IN OLD TESTAMENT NOW....
NEW TESTAMENT MARK 1;10-12
1:10 And straightway coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens opened, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon him:
1:11 And there came a voice from heaven, saying, Thou art my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
1:12 And immediately the spirit driveth him into the wilderness.
GOD-JESUS-HOLY SPIRIT APPEARS TOGETHER FOR THE FIRST TIME IN NEW TESTAMENT.
AMAZING...WHEN WE KNOW WHAT IT IS..WE CAN SEE IT..
JESUS SAID..EVEN LITTLE CHILDREN CAN UNDERSTAND IT...ITS SO SIMPLE.....

I don't mean to be too disrespectful, but trinity and triune are nowhere in the Bible. Both are made up by men. The problem with manmade things is that they will ultimately fall apart.

Cloning would be one way of describing it . Grafting would be better as it was introduced into the Christian religion when they tried to get the Pagans to convert to Christianity by adopting many of their rites and rituals and other ideas into theirs. Many of the Pagan Gods and Goddesses had triple forms and/or powers.
The Christian Church did not lose or change these ideas even after they declared that the Pagans were SATAN worshipers.
