God is a Trinity. The Bible teaches not only that there is one God, but also that there are three persons in the Godhead, - Father, Son and Holy Spirit. This is a mystery to the human mind, but although it cannot be understood, it can be believed because God's Word says it is so. The word "trinity" is not found in the Bible, but the truth is found in the following passages: (1) Baptism of Jesus, Matthew 3:16-17. The great commission, Matthew 28:19. (3)The benediction of II Corinthians 13:14. The Father is called God in Romans 1:7. The Son is called God in Hebrews 1:8. The Holy Spirit is called God in Acts 5:3-4.

Did you know that "Apparitions of the Blessed Virgin Mary "can never be found in the Holy Bible.But that does not prove they have not happened.If you live your life by every word in the Bible you are a fool.The word TRINITY was invented to describe a triune God.There are many references in the Bible about the Three Divine Persons in the one God. And each being fully God.You just have to look for it.You may have to read over 50 versions of the Bible before you find it.

The word "trinity" is not found in the bible. It was used at the Council of Nicea to identify the concept that is in the bible: 'There are three in heave, the Father, The son and the Holy spirit. And the three are one."
Word Trinity not in bible, Concept trinity is.

Peace to you My Brother,
You are quite correct, the word trinity does not appear in the bible. As a Christian, I have been aware of the for quite a while.
The concept was agreed upon by Catholic scholars. Now, during the time of Muhammad, It appeard that some Christians held a polytheistic view of their faith. Errantly professing that there were there separate Gods of the trinity, or that Jesus is an independent deity. Thankfully today I do not know a single Christian that holds a polytheistic view of their religion. So in this Muhammad was sucessful in eradicating any view that there is more then one God.
According to the bible The word Son of God means basically the same Spirit of God. The word begotten refers to the virgin birth in that Mary did not know a man before she gave birth to Jesus.
There is Jesus the flesh and blood man know as the son of Man and the Christ, God consciousness realized in Jesus. that spirit of God realized and indwelling in man is the fullfillment of our Holy text and yours. Christians refer to this realized state as the son of God. But we are joint heirs and also sons of God in the he fills us all as the tree of life, or fount of being.
For some Christians the three aspects of the trinity may best be explained when you compare the concept to water. Water can appear as steam, ice or water. All three are the same thing just different states of H2O. Likewise, the father son and holy ghost are three names for God. The old testament Has a bunch of names for God. So do Muslims.
So my friend. I have a brilliant idea. Instead of us looking for differences beween our understanding of God. Lets start to look for all the things we have in common with other religions instead of looking for the differences. I am sure we all will come alot closer to the truth.
Blessings and peace to you,
All in all,
B

Trinity is a man-made reference to God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit. No, the Bible never mention the word. It does, however, give accounts of God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit as being the same being but also separate entities. This is where the word Trinity comes. It has different meaning to different people. For me, it means that "separate parts of the same being." Thank you and God Bless.

The word "Bible" isn't specifically in the Bible either, but that is what we call it because it defines it.
All three Beings are referred to in the Bible - Jesus calles God the Father, "Father." The Holy Spirit descends at Jesus' baptism, along with the voice of the Father saying "this is my Son, with whom I am well pleased." And the Holy Spirit is present with the apostles after Jesus' death.
So, where in the Bible does it refer to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit as God - three in the same?...
Jesus is called Immanuel, which means "God with us." - Is 7:14
God the Father called the Son "God." Heb. 1:18
God claimed to be the "First and the Last." So did Jesus. God clearly states that He is the only savior. The Bible also says Jesus is our savior. - Isa. and Revelations
The Bible said God created all things and that Jesus created all things. Gen and Col
"The only Father we have is God Himself." - John's Gospel
"… you have lied to the Holy Spirit … you have not lied to men, but to God." - Acts
"Don’t you know you are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit lives in you?" - Cor.
These, and many more, are referrences to God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit as being the same God... AKA - the Trinity. Although the name "Trinity" may not be mentioned, their Persons are clearly stated as being One and the Same.

Are you extreme? The bible is God's be conscious or maybe if and once you're asserting "nicely do not in ordinary terms study that reason it won't make sense study the student's writing too" then you're asserting the bible won't make sense and you mustn't could study any student's writing's to understand the bible. The bible is meant to be the words to stay by and in case you are going to be able to desire to added realize it with scholars writing's then you understand on your heart the bible is organic crap.

Yes I know that the word trinity is not found in the bible.
"For there are three that bear witness in heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit; and these three are one."

Ain't that somethin'? Another example of religious jargon gone amok! I sometimes get into to trouble for voicing my opinion on yahoo, because I honestly believe that people who use the bible as the "end all, be all, definitive answer" to their sorry lives, should just give it up! There is no trinity. It's a convenient creation of those in charge collecting the money and damning all who do not follow and contribute!!!!!!! just ask any jewish or muslim follower, they'll tell you there's no such thing too! ps. i don't subscribe to anything they believe in either!

These sites explain really well that God is one & not a trinity. Many aren't open to the truth. The bride needs to know her groom. The true disciples of the Lord have been revealed this truth. It's not just for anybody. It's for those who truly love the Lord with all their heart. We need to keep praying for the Lord to reveal more truth in His Word. The more we ask, seek, & diligently search and desire to know more of Jesus; He WILL reveal.
Mark 4:11
11 And He said to them, “To you it has been given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God; but to those who are outside, all things come in parables,
