How do I prove that the Trinity of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit exists?

Question

Biblical references only, and I want a good argument for it.

Answer 1

Well, it is difficult to prove the Trinity. Especially with many cynics out there, and the fact that the word "Trinity" doesn't appear in the Bible. However, if you believe in the Bible, there a few key passages that can help in your understanding of the Trinity. A good place to start is Matthew 28:19. Jesus specifically mentions the Trinity (Father, Son, Holy Ghost). Also, Paul mentions the Godhead in 2 Corinthians 13:14. These are just a couple texts to get you started.

Answer 2

I depend on the Word in the Gospel of John. Verse 1 begins in the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God and the Word became flesh and dwelled among us. In John chapter 16, Jesus promises to send the Spirit of Truth and Jesus says that the Spirit of Truth speaks only the truth of the Father. Thus, we can understand that the Trinity is One, done so that man could be reconciled to Father God. This is not really for argument. Please realize that Father God can do anything He wants to do at any time. He is all-powerful. Puny human minds find this hard to understand.

Answer 3

The Trinity is nowhere pronounced interior the Bible, that is a pagan conception courting nicely in the previous christian cases. Jesus develop into Gods first creation, for this reason called his in common words begotten son & had a hand in starting to be each and every thing else, which contains different angels. in the experience that they were one & an similar, how might want to he resurrect himself if he develop into useless? Jesus pronounced that he & the daddy are one interior the experience that they are unified, imagine alike, act alike, artwork together. briefly, the trinity would not & under no circumstances did exist

Answer 4

You cannot:

The Nicene Creed of the Trinity of God was ESTABLISHED as the basis of the new, reformed, orthodox Christian belief in 325 AD. The Emperor knew that Jesus had been venerated by Paul as the son of God, but there was no room for such a concept to persist. Jesus and God HAD to be merged into one entity so that the Son would be identified with the Father. So, at the Council of Nicaea, God was formally defined as 3 persons in 1. Some bishops however opposed this new dogma, as they believe that Jesus was God's son, created by him in the flesh but was not God himself. (Arius, an aged Lybian prist, was the leading spokesman for this faction). After the Council, however, all the followers of Arius were banished, and with God designated as both, the Father and the Son, Jesus was conveniently bypassed as a figure of any practical significance. The Emperor was now regarded as the Messianic godhead, not only from that moment, but as of right through an inheritance deemed reserved for him 'since the beginning of time'. With its new structure then, the Roman Church emerged as the most powerful Christian group. Once the historical Jesus was sidelined, the Christian religion was said to have been named after a man called Chrestus who lived around 49AD. At that very moment there were then 2 official objects of worship: 1) the Holy Trinity of God, 2) the Emperor himself: the new designated Saviour of the World. Anyone who disputed that was declared a heretic and CHristians who attempted to retain loyalty to Jesus as the Messianic Christ, were proclaimed by the Imperial CHurch to be heathens. Emperor Constantine then, in AD 330, declared Byzantium the capital of the Eastern Empire, renaming it Constantinople, and the following year he convened a General Council there to ratify the decisions of the earlier Council of Nicaea, and to formally declare the doctrine of Arius, blasphemous. The Emperor's rule was absolute and the Church was no more than a department of his Empire. Arius had still some followers though, who were stil preaching that Jesus had been created by God and that the Holy Spirit passed from the Father to the Son, so in AD 381 the Emperor, Theodosius the Great, convened another Council in Constantinople, and finally crashed that concept as the Church decreed that the Doctrine of the Trinity of God had to be upheld by ALL: God was the Father, God was the Son and God was the Holy Spirit. In the Old Testament there's no mention whatsoever of the Holy TRinity and History proves it was just a strategic later invention made in order to gain an absulute power.

Historically, the concept of the Trinity, dates back to the
Essene Community of Qumran where the doctrine regarded as the community guiding message was called 'the Light', and respresented by a high-ranking triarchy ( corresponding respectively to: Priest, King and Prophet) who held the symbolic titles of Power, Kingdom and Glory. In the chelirical patriarchy, the Father was supreme, and his two immediate deputies were designated his Son and his Spirit.

Answer 5

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning.

Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.

John I:1-3

The Word is Jesus Christ.

John continues.

The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.

John 1:14

Jesus is the one who came from the Father.

I have come in my Father's name, and you do not accept me; but if someone else comes in his own name, you will accept him.

John 5:43

I tell you the truth, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be condemned; he has crossed over from death to life.

John 5:24

Jesus is equal with the Father/God.

For this reason the Jews tried all the harder to kill him; not only was he breaking the Sabbath, but he was even calling God his own Father, making himself equal with God.

John 5:18

The deciples baptizing in the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

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 28:19

The Father is involved with creation.

Yet, O LORD, you are our Father.
We are the clay, you are the potter;
we are all the work of your hand.

Isaiah 64:8

yet for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom all things came and for whom we live; and there is but one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things came and through whom we live.

1 Corinthians 8:6

The Son is involved with creation.

but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom he made the universe.

Hebrews 1:2

The Holy Spirit is involved with creation.

Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.

Genesis 1:2

When you send your Spirit,
they are created,
and you renew the face of the earth.

Psalm 104:30

Answer 6

You can't. If the concept itself makes no sense how could you possibly prove its existence?

‘Christ according to the faith, is the second person in the Trinity, the Father being the first and the holy Ghost the third. Each of these three persons is God. Christ is his own father and his own son. The Holy Ghost is neither father nor son, but both. The son was begotten by the father, but existed before he was begotten--just the same before as after. Christ is just as old as his father, and the father is just as young as his son. The Holy Ghost proceeded form the Father and Son, but was an equal to the Father and Son before he proceeded, that is to say before he existed, but he is of the same age as the other two. Nothing ever was, nothing ever can be more perfectly idiotic and absurd than the dogma of the Trinity.’

- Col. Robert G. Ingersoll

Answer 7

You can't because the trinity teaching is not biblical. Teaching of the Trinity didn't come until years after Jesus' resurrection. If you study closely you will see that the trinity theory came from pagan gods. All these verses that everyone has quoted, Jesus was just saying that he in his Father are in union with one another. Just as a husband and wife are one. Just as Jesus told his disciples to become one. But everyone knows that we are all our own self. Jesus refers to himself as the son. He never claims to be God. In John1:1 It is simply a mistranslation. They did alot of that.

Answer 8

Okay first one from the New Testament, from Paul since he was actually the first one to write anything that ended up in the New Testament. He wrote:

"Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature GOD, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness.... Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus is Lord, to the glory of God the Father" Philippians 2:6

Also the foretelling about the Son of Man, "He was given authority, glory and sovereign power; all peoples, nations and men of every language worshiped him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion that will not pass away, and his kingdom is one that will never be destroyed" Daniel 7:13

I don't make the conclusion that God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit are all the same being in one degree or another, but I do know that no one exceeds the authority of them.

Answer 9

You as a human cannot prove anything of the Bible. That is what God is for. He commands all believers to spread the gospel, baptizing in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. He does not say and "prove that I exist." Maybe if you have a little more faith in God, and grace, you'll understand that no man chooses salvation, it is given, only.

18Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in[a] the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."
