I don't get it if the Bible doesn't teach the Trinity then how come it's like part of Christian faith

Question

is it just Catholic faith?

Sorry for a previous answer to my last question someone told me that the Bible does not teach me. If it does please give me a Bible passage showing it

Answer 1

The term trinity as it relates to God wasn't used until the First Council of Nicaea in 325AD. The bible does, however, clearly show that God exists as Father, Son and Holy Spirit and they are 3 separate personalities.

Answer 2

The members of the Trinity are distinguished one from another in various passages: In the Old Testament, "LORD" is distinguished from "Lord" (Genesis 19:24; Hosea 1:4). The "LORD" has a "Son" (Psalm 2:7, 12; Proverbs 30:2-4). Spirit is distinguished from the "LORD" (Numbers 27:18) and from "God" (Psalm 51:10-12). God the Son is distinguished from God the Father (Psalm 45:6-7; Hebrews 1:8-9). In the New Testament, John 14:16-17 is where Jesus speaks to the Father about sending a Helper, the Holy Spirit. This shows that Jesus did not consider Himself to be the Father or the Holy Spirit. Consider also all of the other times in the Gospels where Jesus speaks to the Father. Was He speaking to Himself? No. He spoke to another person in the Trinity - the Father.

Each member of the Trinity is God: The Father is God: John 6:27; Romans 1:7; 1 Peter 1:2. The Son is God: John 1:1, 14; Romans 9:5; Colossians 2:9; Hebrews 1:8; 1 John 5:20. The Holy Spirit is God: Acts 5:3-4; 1 Corinthians 3:16 (The One who indwells is the Holy Spirit - Romans 8:9; John 14:16-17; Acts 2:1-4).

Answer 3

Great question! I do not believe the Bible explicitly states that there is a "trinity" but the trinity is evident throughout the Scriptures. Starting in Gen. 1:1-2 the Father and Holy Spirit are evident from creation. We learn in John 1:1-2 that Jesus was also present at creation. This would explain Gen.1:26 when God said, "Let Us make man in Our image" rather than "Let Me make man in My image".
Also, each person in the trinity is evident at Jesus's baptism. Jesus rises from the water, the Spirit descends like a dove, and the Father speaks, "This is my son..."
Hope this helps!

Answer 4

GREAT QUESTION!!
-At the Council of Nicea (325 CE), the Bishops of the church attempted to define the precise nature of Jesus Christ. Arius (250 - 336 CE) argued that Jesus and God were very separate and different entities: Jesus was closer to God than any other human being, but he was born a man and remained a human -- a great prophet. On the other hand, God has been in existence forever. Arius felt that any attempt to recognize the deity of Christ would blur the lines between Christianity and pagan, polytheistic religions. It would create a Christianity that appeared to worship multiple deities. His main opponent, Athanasius (296 - 373), argued that Jesus was divine, because otherwise he could not be the Savior. Both Arius and Athanasius had large followings among the bishops. The council, under pressure from Emperor Constantine, decided, by a very close, vote in favor of Athanasius. They wrote the Nicene Creed, which declared that Jesus Christ was "of one substance with the Father." This did not settle the question of the divinity of Christ; many churches refused to accept the council's decision for many decades.
-At the Council of Constantinople (381 CE), the earlier council's decision on the deity of Jesus was confirmed and Arianism declared a heresy. They also decided that Holy Spirit was the third Person of the Trinity.

Answer 5

The trinity is just an attempt to explain what is revealed in the Bible about God. I can prove it.

It is not as simple to say that God is one, even though that statement is true. God is more complex than that, but it suffices to say that He is one.

Here is where God calls Jesus God:
Hebrews 1
6And again, when God brings his firstborn into the world, he says,
"Let all God's angels worship him."[d] 7In speaking of the angels he says,
"He makes his angels winds,
his servants flames of fire."[e] 8But about the Son he says,
"Your throne, O God, will last for ever and ever,
and righteousness will be the scepter of your kingdom.
9You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness;
therefore God, your God, has set you above your companions
by anointing you with the oil of joy."

Know that there is no one to worship except for God. It is commanded by God to only worship Him. If Jesus wasn't God, then why would God tell the angels in heaven worship Him?

Here is where Jesus states that God is Spirit:
John 4
23 Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. 24 God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth."

And then there is the Spirit showing up in Genesis:
Genesis 1
2 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.

If God didn't have a Spirit, why would He be called that in the Old Testament and the New Testament?

And then of course there is the Father:
John 8
42 Jesus said to them, "If God were your Father, you would love me, for I came from God and now am here. I have not come on my own; but he sent me. 43 Why is my language not clear to you?

So there we have it. God the Son, the Father, and the Spirit, and all are one:
Mark 12
29 "The most important one," answered Jesus, "is this: 'Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one. 30 Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.'

So the trinity isn't that far from the truth, it's just not to be trusted as the whole truth about God's nature. Know that the Bible has it in there, it's just a bit lengthy to explain it.

Answer 6

the bible DOES teach the rudimentary form. the church defined the relationship between the Father, the Son, and the holy Spirit as the holy Trinity. this doctrine is all over the scriptures. it is in seed form and not declared as "trinity". the word "trinity" is an attempt to encapsulate something scripture says repeatedly, but as a concept needs a cognomen as an identifier. all christian faiths accept this truth. psuedo-christian faiths, or cults, do not.

Answer 7

The word Trinity is not in the Bible


Some critics of the Trinity doctrine claim that since the word "trinity" is not found in the Bible, it isn't true. Furthermore, some assert that if God wanted us to believe in the Trinity He would have stated the doctrine clearly.
First of all, it is illogical to claim that since the word "Trinity" is not found in the Bible that its concept is not taught therein. This kind of objection usually demonstrates a prejudice against the teaching of the Trinity. Instead, the person should look to God's word to see if it is taught or not.
Second, there are many biblical concepts that people believe in that don't have a specific word describing them used in the Bible. For example, the word "bible" is not found in the Bible, but we use it anyway to describe the Bible. Likewise, the words "omniscience," which means "all knowing," "omnipotence," which means "all powerful," and "omnipresence," which means "present everywhere," are words not found in the Bible either, but we use them to describe the attributes of God. We don't have to see a specific word in the Bible in order for the concept it describes to be true.
Following are other words that the Bible does not use but the concepts are mentioned.

*Atheism is the teaching that there is no God. "The fool has said in his heart, "There is no God" (Psalm 14:1).

*Divinity which means divine quality or godlike character. Yet, we speak of the godlike quality of the Lord God. See Psalm 139.

*Incarnation which means the word (God) who became flesh. Yet, this is definitely taught in the Bible (John 1:1,14).

*Monotheism is the teaching that there is only one God (Isaiah 43:10; 44:8).

*Rapture is the teaching that the Christians who are alive when Jesus returns will be caught up to meet Him in the air (1 Thess. 4:16-18).

So, to say that the Trinity isn't true because the word isn't in the Bible is an invalid argument. Furthermore, to say that if God wanted us to believe in the Trinity He would have clearly taught it in scripture, is also an invalid argument. Something does not have to be clearly formulated in the Bible to be valid. Not all things taught in the Bible are perfectly clear. Take a look at the book of Revelation. It contains many things that are cryptic that must be interpreted after examining all of the Bible. Even then, there are disagreements as to what some things mean. Yet, we know that the truths there are true whether or not we discover them.
Nevertheless, there are scriptures that demonstrate a Trinitarian aspect.

* Matt. 28:18, Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit,
* 2 Cor. 13:14, The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be with you all.
* Eph. 4:4-7, There is one body and one Spirit, just as also you were called in one hope of your calling; 5one Lord, one faith, one baptism, 6one God and Father of all who is over all and through all and in all. 7But to each one of us grace was given according to the measure of Christ’s gift.
* Jude 20-21, "But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith; praying in the Holy Spirit; 21keep yourselves in the love of God, waiting anxiously for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to eternal life."

Answer 8

Bible does teach Trinity. Try Corynthians

Answer 9

I don't think that the word "trinity" is used in the Bible, but the same principle is there. It speaks of God in the beginning (before Jesus) and then of Jesus and then after Hi resurrection of the Holy Spirit, (and while he is on earth, during His baptism) He (Jesus) tells that there is another after Him, the Comforter, or Holy Spirit. That is the Trinity, The three persons in one.
If you could see God, then you would see that Jesus lives and resides INSIDE Him.
In order to speak to Jesus, He has to walk out of the Father. And when it is all over, the Holy Spirit will rejoin Them in Heaven and be a part of the wholeness of God once more.
