Did ancient Hebrews worship a trinity? Ever?

Question

Thucyidides, The Hebrews called the golden calf Jehovah.

Where is the scriptures that say that Jesus revealed the Trinity only when he came to earth?
That is just you saying that it is not in the Bible.

Answer 1

Blessed3, Proverbs 30:4 (Mentions the Son) and Isaiah 63:10-11 (Mentions the holy Spirit)
Are not trinity proving scriptures.

"So while they didn't call it a trinity and perhaps didn't even think of God in those terms at all"

- Though the ancient Jews knew God.

"there are plenty of hints in the Old Testament as to the Triune nature of God."

-The Bible is not a book of hints or guesses it is a book of Truth. Israel the Nation of God never worshiped a trinity because there is no trinity. The trinity is a teaching of men not a teaching of God. Abraham, Moses, Solomon, David knew God and was his friend and walked with him yet they never knew him as a trinity but only as the One True God, Jehovah.

The trinity was a conceived by the Roman Catholic Church in a political move to bolster the Roman Empire headed by Emperor Constantine. The pagan influences in the Empire who worship their triune gods where converted to a the god of the trinity of Christendom.

Judaism doesn't recognise the trinity.

Answer 2

While I am not a Christian, I agree that the non-Trinitarian view of God seems more sensible. You might want to look at the non-Trinitarian versions of Christianity.

I would suggest looking into these Christian churches which are all non-Trinitarian: Jehovah's Witnesses, Christadelphians, Bible Students, American Unitarian Conference, Arian Catholic Church, Oneness (or Apostolic) Pentecostal, UU (Unitarian Universalist) Christian Fellowship, etc. Swedenborgianism (look up Swedenborg on Wikipedia) was also non-Trinitarian. I also believe the churches that sprang from Herbert Armstrong and retained his teachings are also non-Trinitarian (or unitarian - small "u").

While it is true that LDS Mormons do not believe in the Trinity, they have a doctrine of Godhead and eternal progression which is more polytheistic than monotheistic.

Answer 3

No, but they did worship a golden calf for a while. Only God the Father, First Person of the Trinity, was known in the Old Testament. When God the Second Person of the Trinity became man in Jesus Christ, he revealed the Trinity to mankind. To be Christian, one must believe in the Trinity: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit in whom we are baptized by Christ's command.

Answer 4

Well, the wording of the original language when they would say, "The Lord our God, the Lord is One." The word for one was a compound unity, the same word used to describe how a man and wife become one flesh.

But did they call it a trinity? No.

They did speak of the Spirit of the Lord, and of the Lord Himself, and there is at least one passage that speaks of the Son. Obviously, God is mentioned throughout, and we could assume that to usually be God the Father.

Proverbs 30:4 (Mentions the Son)
4 Who has gone up to heaven and come down?
Who has gathered up the wind in the hollow of his hands?
Who has wrapped up the waters in his cloak?
Who has established all the ends of the earth?
What is his name, and the name of his son?
Tell me if you know!

Isaiah 63:10-11 (Mentions the holy Spirit)
10But they rebelled, and vexed his holy Spirit: therefore he was turned to be their enemy, and he fought against them.

11Then he remembered the days of old, Moses, and his people, saying, Where is he that brought them up out of the sea with the shepherd of his flock? where is he that put his holy Spirit within him?

So while they didn't call it a trinity, and perhaps didn't even think of God in those terms at all, there are plenty of hints in the Old Testament as to the Triune nature of God.

Answer 5

There were a few who were shown the truth. But not all the Hebrews were saved. God didn't want any except a remnant.

Daniel saw the powers of Heaven, check out Daniel 7.

And just try to tell me that David didn't see what was going on.

Jeremiah knew God, who he is and what was going to happen. None of them could see everything, but they did know that there is the Most High God, who is Jesus.

Answer 6

Why did God’s prophets not teach it?
WHY, for thousands of years, did none of God’s prophets teach his people about the Trinity? At the latest, would Jesus not use his ability as the Great Teacher to make the trinity clear to his followers? Would God inspire hundreds of pages of Scripture and yet not use any of this instruction to teach the Trinity if it were the “central doctrine” of faith?

Are Christians to believe that centuries after Christ and after having inspired the writing of the Bible, God would back the formulation of a doctrine that was unknown to his servants for thousands of years, one that is an “inscrutable mystery” “beyond the grasp of human reason,” one that admittedly had a pagan background and was “largely a matter of church politics”?

The testimony of history is clear: The Trinity teaching is a deviation from the truth, an apostatizing from it.

Blessed, you stretching it a bit, don't ya think!!!!!!!!!

Answer 7

The New Encyclopædia Britannica says: “Neither the word Trinity, nor the explicit doctrine as such, appears in the New Testament, nor did Jesus and his followers intend to contradict the Shema in the Old Testament: ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord’ (Deut. 6:4). . . . The doctrine developed gradually over several centuries and through many controversies. . . . By the end of the 4th century . . . the doctrine of the Trinity took substantially the form it has maintained ever since.”—(1976), Micropædia, Vol. X, p. 126.

In The Encyclopedia Americana we read: “Christianity derived from Judaism and Judaism was strictly Unitarian [believing that God is one person]. The road which led from Jerusalem to Nicea was scarcely a straight one. Fourth century Trinitarianism did not reflect accurately early Christian teaching regarding the nature of God; it was, on the contrary, a deviation from this teaching.”—(1956), Vol. XXVII, p. 294L.
