No it does't..word trinity is not in the bible
Let me quote from the bible..
Moses said:-
"Hear, O Israel The Lord our God is one Lord" Deuteronomy 6:4
Jesus said:-
"...The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; the Lord our God is one Lord." Mark 12:29

However the "Trinity"is in Quran
"Surely, disbelievers are those who said: ‘Allah is the third of the three (in a Trinity).’ But there is no god but One God. And if they cease not from what they say, verily, a painful torment will befall the disbelievers among them (Quran 5:73).

Also:

"People of the Book (Jews and Christians)! Do not exceed the limits in your religion, and attribute to God nothing except the truth. The Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary, was only a Messenger of Allah, and His command that He conveyed unto Mary, and a spirit from Him. So believe in Allah and in His Messengers, and do not say: ‘Allah is a Trinity.’ Give up this assertion; it would be better for you. Allah is indeed just one God. Far be it from His glory that He should have a son. To Him belongs all that is in the heavens and in the earth. Allah is sufficient for a guardian" (Quran 4:171).

The word Trinity is not in the Bible. It is just a fancy name that means 3 as in 3 parts. If you doubt the Trinity, you should read Matthew 28:19, AND Matthew 3:16&17, AND 2 Corinthians 13:14 AND John 14:16. The Holy Spirit is God, read Acts 5:9. I think that we should worship God, shouldn't we?
If you still have any doubt to the Trinity, read 1 Corinthians 12:4-6.
There are so many references to list, these are only the MOST obvious.

trinity is not in the bible. And I am not sure that it says specifically to worship the holy spirit. But believing that He is part of the God Head, I give him my worship also/

There are no scriptural examples of worshipping the Holy Spirit. Scripture talks about praying in the Spirit (Eph. 6:18), the fellowship of the Spirit (2 Cor. 13:14), and baptism in the name of the Spirit (Matt. 28:19). Although baptism, prayer and fellowship are involved in worship, none of these verses is a valid proof-text for worship of the Spirit.
As an opposite of worship, however, we note that the Spirit can be blasphemed (Matt. 12:31).






Trinity - Several passages discuss the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit as equals. In a discussion of spiritual gifts, Paul puts the Spirit, the Lord, and God in grammatically parallel constructions (1 Cor. 12:4-6). Paul closes a letter with a three-part prayer: "May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all" (2 Cor. 13:14). Peter begins a letter with this three-part formula: "who have been chosen according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through the sanctifying work of the Spirit, for obedience to Jesus Christ and sprinkling by his blood" (1 Peter 1:2).
Of course, the triadic formulas or (trinity) used in these and other scriptures do not prove equality (for example, Eph. 4:5 puts unequal elements in parallel construction), but they do suggest it. The baptismal formula has an even stronger implication of unity -- "in the name [singular] of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit" (Matt. 28:19). The Father, Son, and Spirit share a common name, indicating common essence and equality. This verse indicates both plurality and unity. Three names are given, but all three share one name.Another word interchange can be seen in 1 Cor. 3:16 and 6:19. Christians are not only temples of God, they are also temples of the Holy Spirit; the two expressions mean the same thing. A temple, of course, is a habitation for a deity, not a habitation for an impersonal power. When Paul writes "temple of the Holy Spirit," he implies that the Holy Spirit is God.
Creating: The Holy Spirit does work that only God can do, such as creating (Gen. 1:2; Job 33:4; Ps. 104:30) and expelling demons (Matt. 12:28).

2. Begetting: The Spirit begot the Son of God (Matt. 1:20; Luke 1:35), and the full divinity of the Son (Col. 1:19) implies the full divinity of the Begetter.

The Spirit begets believers, too -- they are born of God (John 1:12) and equally born of the Spirit (John 3:5). "The Spirit gives [eternal] life" (John 6:63). The Spirit is the power by which we will be resurrected (Rom. 8:11).

Indwelling: The Holy Spirit is the way in which God lives in his children (Eph. 2:22; 1 John 3:24; 4:13). The Holy Spirit "lives" in us (Rom. 8:11; 1 Cor. 3:16) -- and because the Spirit lives in us, we are able to say that God lives in us. We can say that God lives in us only because the Holy Spirit is in some way God. The Spirit is not a representative or a power that lives in us -- God himself lives in us. Sanctifying: The Holy Spirit makes people holy (Rom. 15:16; 1 Pet. 1:2). The Spirit enables people to enter the kingdom of God (John 3:5). We are saved "through the sanctifying work of the Spirit" (2 Thess. 2:13).
In all these things, the works of the Spirit are the works of God. Whatever the Spirit says or does, God is saying or doing; the Spirit is fully representative of God.



Prayer or worship directed specifically to the Holy Spirit is not the scriptural norm, but we nonetheless worship the Spirit.
When we worship God, we worship all aspects of God, including the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

A fourth-century theologian explained it this way: "The Spirit is jointly worshipped in God, when God is worshipped in the Spirit" (Ambrose, Of the Holy Spirit III.X.82, quoted in Oden, Life in the Spirit, p. 16).
Whatever we say to the Spirit we are saying to God, and whatever we say to God we are saying to the Spirit.

Scripture indicates that the Holy Spirit has divine attributes and works, and is spoken of in the same way that the Father and Son are. The Holy Spirit is intelligent, and speaks and acts like a Person.
This is part of the scriptural evidence that led early Christians to formulate the doctrine of the Trinity. Bromiley gives a summary:

Three points that emerge from this survey of the New Testament data are: (1) The Holy Spirit is everywhere regarded as God; (2) He is God in distinction from the Father and the Son; (3) His deity does not infringe upon the divine unity. In other words, the Holy Spirit is the third person of the triune Godhead....



Although Scripture does not directly say that "the Holy Spirit is God," or that God is triune, these conclusions are based on scriptural evidence. Based on biblical evidence, the Worldwide Church of God teaches that the Holy Spirit is God in the same way that the Father is God and the Son is God.


Jesus, God and the Holy Spirit are describes as the Trinity...3 being with the same mind, but with different functions. As humans this is hard to understand. The best, but imperfect explanation is water. Water has three forms with differing functions: solid (ice), Liquid (water) and vapor (steam)...but it is still water.
We believe in the Bible because of the evidence we see around us...and the Bible specifically says God and Jesus are the same.
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning."
(John 1:2,3)
"No one has ever seen God, but God the One and Only, who is at the Father's side, has made him known."
(John 1:18)

No, the word "trinity" is not in the Bible, nor is the word "bible". But the teaching on the trinity is found throughout the New Testament. Jesus did not refer to the Holy Spirit as "it", but as "He". The Holy Spirit is described as a guide, counselor, teacher, sanctifier. What could be clearer than the baptism of Jesus? God the Son standing in the water, God the father speaking from heaven, and God the Holy Spirit descending upon Jesus in visible form, all simultaneously.

there is no where in the bible that says we need to worship Jesus Christ or God's holy spirit. The bible clearly states that we need to only worship the One who created the heavens and the earth, Jehovah God...read Psalms 83:18, Isaiah 43:10-11, 44:6; Philippians 2:9-11; Deuteronomy 6:4; Malachi 2:10; Mark 10:18

Hey look, the JW's are back!

The word Trinity is not found anywhere in the Bible.

Honestly, I don't think I would consider myself a worshiper of the Holy Spirit alone. I've always thought of the Holy Spirit as the part of God that points directly to Jesus. You don't worship the arrow, you worship the target. I'll have to give this more thought, thanks for asking.

Holy Spirit is area of the Trinity. Moses and Aaron are no longer. there is one Godhead, one Trinity. the actuality that murmuring handed off in the extensive form 14 account has no bearing on the Godhead and does no longer make Moses and Aaron area of any Trinity.

Interesting question. The Apostle Paul actually says to be proper in our worshipping of Angels. Yet, the Angels themselves told men Not to bow down to them.
Allah doesn't need worship. That is an Ego thing that no Holy Being requires.
Worship is for us. To keep us connected to the Source of Life. The Holy Spirit
being the active power that comes to us from God, and the Word being the Mediator
between us and Allah.

I worship God.

I believe that Jesus is God incarnate.

I believe that the Holy Spirit is a gift from God.

I don't worship the Holy Spirit, though.
