Tertullian, the inventor of the concept of "the Trinity," was also an ascetic heretic, in the same manner as Luther and Wesley. Christianity is not only a religion of the heart, but also of the intellect; for "the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us," in the Person of Jesus. This was codified at the Council of Chalcedon, in 451 AD, which formulated a Definition (based on Pope Leo's suggestion of "two natures," both divine and human, "which exist without confusion, without change, without division, without separation"), which was eventually accepted by all the mainstream Christian churches. Protestantism was not a new religion, but it took certain things from the Catholic Church that are fundamental to Christianity. Take away the Trinity and you either get a form of gnosticism (positive, pure immanence), such as is found in the crackpot "Christian" cults; or you get a form of neologistic mysticism (negative, pure transcendence), such as is found in the most successful heresy, Islam. Christianity as a coherent religion cannot exist without the Trinity; it's not Catholic dogma, but a necessary part of accepting the dual nature of Jesus Christ.

The inspiration of the Trinity is truthfully established at the Godhead that's stated within the Bible. Those external of the Catholic church don't most often confer with it because the Trinity. So, the inspiration of the Trinity used to be in lifestyles lengthy earlier than it used to be made a "dogma" by means of the Catholic church. Occasionally the Catholic church will get a few matters proper. Just due to the fact that the ones external the Catholic church would possibly feel the ideas that the Catholics truthfully get proper, does now not imply we take delivery of the Church's Authority. There is just one authority.. "And Jesus got here and spoke to them, pronouncing, "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on this planet." Matthew 28:18

Why don't Catholics and Protestants look into the Holy Bible to find "Trinity" therein - and then decide - Yes / No !
Trinity is found no where in the bible! but it is found in the last and final word of God - The Quran!
Why don't you trust your God in the Holy matter of "Word of God"??? Read Quran and learn the facts.
Why you twist & turn in Divine matters! and rely on power hungry religious leaders appointed by Roman Emporers and Kings like Contantine and Henry VII.
These religious leaders will never solve problems because they live like Kings - having no problem in their status - They don't mind whether you go to paradise or hellfire.
Now you don't live in the Darkages. See arround you and find the Truth!Think about your own salvation!

not every protestant denomination agrees with the trinity but you are right. protestants owe more to the catholic church than what they think, without catholicism they have no roots.

The catholic church may have put a name on it but I think it's clearly shown in bible without the name

When the Protestants split with the Church, they took that belief with them along with the hellfire doctrine and infant baptisms. But none of those doctrine can be supported by Scripture.
