No offense taken.

The trinity evolved from different beliefs in Christianity. In fact, I'm sure that some denominations still dispute the trinity all together. It's just a concise way to combine God and his son, and the Holy Spirit into one concept,

The term "Bible" comes from Latin and Greek translations meaning "a collection of books."

The trinity is never mentioned in the Bible. It is a belief based on sayings of Jesus and other prophets throughout the Bible. The belief in Father, Son and Holy Spirit, called the Trinity, is the best way humans can describe a God that cannot possibly be put into words.

The Bible as a whole (the one that Protestants use) was put together in the 3rd century A.D. The Old Testament is compiled of the Hebrew scriptures and deals with Isreal's journey and struggle's with God. There are many OLD laws and rituals that are not in use today because of Christ. He made in unecessary to hold onto rituals and sacrifice's of animals. Also, there were guideline of what to eat and what not to eat because 3,000 years ago, these animals were not clean. It was practical and became to be viewed as spiritual as well.

Should You Believe It?

People often say they believe in the Trinity, yet they differ in their understanding of it.

What, exactly, is the Trinity?

Does the Bible teach it?

Is Jesus Christ the Almighty God and part of the Trinity?

DO YOU believe in the Trinity? Most people in Christendom do. After all, it has been the central doctrine of the churches for centuries.

In view of this, you would think that there could be no question about it. But there is, and lately even some of its supporters have added fuel to the controversy.

Why should a subject like this be of any more than passing interest? Because Jesus himself said: “Eternal life is this: to know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent.” So our entire future hinges on our knowing the true nature of God, and that means getting to the root of the Trinity controversy. Therefore, why not examine it for yourself?—John 17:3, Catholic Jerusalem Bible (JB).

Various Trinitarian concepts exist. But generally the Trinity teaching is that in the Godhead there are three persons, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost; yet, together they are but one God. The doctrine says that the three are coequal, almighty, and uncreated, having existed eternally in the Godhead.

Others, however, say that the Trinity doctrine is false, that Almighty God stands alone as a separate, eternal, and all-powerful being. They say that Jesus in his prehuman existence was, like the angels, a separate spirit person created by God, and for this reason he must have had a beginning. They teach that Jesus has never been Almighty God’s equal in any sense; he has always been subject to God and still is. They also believe that the holy ghost is not a person but God’s spirit, his active force.

Supporters of the Trinity say that it is founded not only on religious tradition but also on the Bible. Critics of the doctrine say that it is not a Bible teaching, one history source even declaring: “The origin of the [Trinity] is entirely pagan.”—The Paganism in Our Christianity.

If the Trinity is true, it is degrading to Jesus to say that he was never equal to God as part of a Godhead. But if the Trinity is false, it is degrading to Almighty God to call anyone his equal, and even worse to call Mary the “Mother of God.” If the Trinity is false, it dishonors God to say, as noted in the book Catholicism: “Unless [people] keep this Faith whole and undefiled, without doubt [they] shall perish everlastingly. And the Catholic Faith is this: we worship one God in Trinity

The doctrine of the Trinity is arrived at by looking at the whole of scripture, not in a single verse. It is the doctrine that there is only one God, not three, and that the one God exists in three persons: Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
An analogy would be time. Time is past, present, and future. But, there are not three times, only one.
In teaching the Trinity we learn about the nature of God.

it doesn't mention the word "trinity", but the concept is all over the bible from beginning to end.
Genesis: God said, Let US make man in OUR image and after OUR likeness. etc. etc. 1:26 (notice God is plural)

Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit Mathew 28:19

"Bible" is greek for "books" (Biblios)

Many have self belief that this Bible is sweet or perhaps thinking if an element won't be the literal actuality brings approximately stable reactions. see you later as those people act existence like and take care of others with understand what distinction does it make? i do no longer see such questions geared in the direction of the different scriptures of alternative faiths virtually as in many cases. together as a case might desire to be made that a number of those people have no understand of what's sacred for others, that is nevertheless no longer justifiable to instruct them such disrespect. think of approximately it, what distinction does it make if your dentist believes the international replaced into created 7,000 years in the past or 14.5 billion years in the past. purely see you later as this faith and all others are stored out of the commonplace public colleges (for everyones risk-free practices) why care? a number of my friends are Jewish and function instructed me approximately what it replaced into like growing to be up interior the 60's interior the Bible Belt.

Bible simply means any book, reference work, periodical, etc., accepted as authoritative, informative, or reliable.
I think they use trinity so they don't have to say "The father, the son and the holy spirit".

Trinity:

1 John 5 (KJV)
1Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him.

2By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments.

3For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.

4For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.

5Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?

6This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth.

7For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.

8And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one.

9If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which he hath testified of his Son.

10He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son.

11And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.

12He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.

13These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.

14And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us:

15And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.

16If any man see his brother sin a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask, and he shall give him life for them that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death: I do not say that he shall pray for it.

17All unrighteousness is sin: and there is a sin not unto death.

18We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not.

19And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness.

20And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.

21Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen.
