If believing in the trinity doctrine is a Christian requirement...?

Question

...where in the Bible does it show Jesus teaching it to his followers?

Answer 1

The trinity is not in the bible.

When Jesus said he and the Father are one - he meant in purpose. He also said that he and his disciples are one. Are we to believe that there are thirteen or more in this Trinity?

John 14:28 - The Father is greater than the son (not co-equal)

Mark 13:32 - The Father knew something that Jesus didn't

John 17:3 - two separate persons (no mention of the holy spirit)

John 1:18 - Many saw Jesus

Collosians 1:15-17 - shows that Jesus had a beginning. God is omnipotent

The Holy Scriptures tell us the personal name of the Father—Jehovah. They inform us that the Son is Jesus Christ. But nowhere in the Scriptures is a personal name applied to the holy spirit.

Acts 7:55, 56 reports that Stephen was given a vision of heaven in which he saw “Jesus standing at God’s right hand.” But he made no mention of seeing the holy spirit.
(See also Revelation 7:10; 22:1, 3.)

Those who cling to the Trinity dcotrine, which has pagan roots, are in a dangerous position.
The evidence is indisputable that the dogma of the Trinity is not found in the Bible, nor is it in harmony with what the Bible teaches.
It grossly misrepresents the true God.
Yet, Jesus Christ said: “The hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for such the Father seeks to worship him. God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.” (John 4:23, 24, RS)
Jesus made it clear that those whose worship is not ‘in truth,’ not in harmony with the truth set out in God’s own Word, are not “true worshipers.”
To Jewish religious leaders of the first century, Jesus said: “For the sake of your tradition, you have made void the word of God. You hypocrites! Well did Isaiah prophesy of you, when he said: ‘This people honors me with their lips, but their heart is far from me; in vain do they worship me, teaching as doctrines the precepts of men.’” (Matthew. 15:6-9, )
That applies with equal force to those in Christendom today who advocate human traditions in preference to the clear truths of the Bible.

Answer 2

Jesus did not teach"the trinity".... acceptance of any one of the very many doctrins concerning "the trinity" is not a requirement for Salvation.... There is only One Way for any one to become a Christian.... all who come to God in The Way He prescribes will receive His free gift of Salvation and become a part of The Church of which Jesus The Christ is The Head... those are the ones of The True Christian Faith. Only those of The Church will enter Heaven.... any position on the Trinity is a matter of man's denominational doctrin not Salvation.

Answer 3

Thank you for asking this question! I do not believe the trinity. The Bible said that Jesus was the SON of God. If you look at the Greek manuscripts, almost every place that the trinitarians use to prove that Jesus is God is added. There is a verse in the old testament that said "God is not a man that he should lie." This is pretty clear isn't it? I am still a Christian though (Romans 10:9 and 10)
There is tons more info about this. Look up Christopher Geer, he has written much on this subject.

Answer 4

thanks for asking this question! i do no longer have self belief the trinity. The Bible stated that Jesus became the SON of God. in case you look on the Greek manuscripts, rather a lot each position that the trinitarians use to coach that Jesus is God is added. there's a verse contained in the former testomony that stated "God isn't a guy that he could lie." that is rather clean isn't it? i'm nonetheless a Christian inspite of the truth that (Romans 10:9 and 10) there is a good deal more suitable data about this. lookup Christopher Geer, he has written a lot in this concern.

Answer 5

Matthew 28:19 - "Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit."

Jesus' words affirm the reality of the Trinity. Some people accuse theologians of making up the concept of the Trinity and reading it into Scripture. As you see here, the concept comes directly from Jesus himself. He did not say baptize them in the names, but in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The word Trinity does not occur in Scripture, but it well describes the three-in-one nature of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

Answer 6

The entire bible....

If you believe in the old testament (which Jesus quoted quite frequently) you'll believe that God existed. Then you will believe when God said (referring to Jesus) "this is my son, with whom I am greatly pleased." This confirms Jesus' being the messiah. So if that's true, when Jesus told his disciples of the Holy Spirit decesending after his ascending to heaven, he was telling the truth. So there... The Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit.

Let''s say you didn't read the Old Testament. Jesus quoted scripture that confirmed he is the son of God. That being said, God had to exist, and Jesus proclaimed himself to the the only way to God - his Father (and now ours). Jesus (again) told his disciples to expect a Comforter after he ascends to heaven - which he did. In the book of ACTS, the Holy Spirit indwelt in man. So (again) you have the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

*God created man, Jesus died for man, and the Holy Spirit came to help man. If you don't believe this method of Agape love then you cannot believe anything else in the bible.

Answer 7

Matthew 28:19 says to baptize followers in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. That's it. It does not say that all three are one.

Answer 8

It doesn't. The trinity came during the Council of Nicea in 325 A.D. The council met to determine the Divinity of Jesus Christ. They came up with a document that is confusing and contradictory at best. They thought that they could define God and Jesus Christ, they didn't know what to do with the Holy Ghost!!. It is a man-made misconception of what the Bible truly tells us.

Answer 9

It is a catholic requirement, but not a christian one. When he said that he and his father were one, he meant that if God himself was down there on earth, he would act no different. There are hundreds more instances where Jesus says he is the son of God. Catholics get hung up on this one verse, because the don't understand it.

Answer 10

Yes.Matthew 28:19.May Jesus bless.
