    The world trinity doesn`t exist in the bible, so trinity is a subject of argument between Christians. To better understand, ask a trinitarian pastor and a none trinitarian, then compare their interpretations. Most religious sect are open to bible inquiries.

    There is no one verse that says the word "Trinity." It is a term coined by the church fathers to explain a doctrine that is inescapable in scripture.

    Here is a short summary of what the Bible has to say on the Trinity.

    I considered putting these all these verses down (rather than just the references) but it would probably take up pages upon pages. Instead, I correlated them for your own study. Feel free to look them up for yourself!

    The Old Testament Witness

    · Plural form of the divine name Elohim: Gen 1:26 ; 3:22; 11:7; Is 6:8.

    · Repetitions of the name of God: Ps 45:6-7; 110:1.

    · Threefold liturgical formulas: Num 6:24-26 ; Is 6:3.

    · The Angel of YHWH: Gen 16:2-13; 22:11, 16; 31:11; Ex 3:2, 4, 5; Judges 13:20-22.

    · The Servant of the LORD Songs: Is 11:1-2; 42:1; 61:1ff.

    · The Application of Divine Names to Christ: Ps 110:1 ; Is 9:6.

    · The Personhood of the Holy Spirit: Ps 139:7; Is 63:10.

    The New Testament Witness

    · References to All Three Persons: Mt 3:13-17; Mt 28:19; 1 Cor 12:4-6; 2 Cor 13:14; Eph 4:4-6; 1 Pet 1:2; Jude 20-21.

    · Redemptive Work of All Three Persons: Ephesians 1 – vss. 3-6, the Father; vss.7-12, the Son; vss.13-14, the Holy Spirit.

    · The Trinity Presupposed by Paul: Rom 8:3-4; 8:9-11; 1 Thess 1:4-5; 2 Thess 2:13; 1 Cor 2:2-5; 2 Cor 1:20-22; Gal 3:1-5.

    The Deity of the Father

    · Even cults concede the deity of the Father so no detailed account will be given here. Suffice it to say that from Gen 1:1 through Rev 22:21, the deity of God is upheld. (Note: In the NT, the title Lord is more often than not applied to Jesus Christ while the Father is identified as God.)

    The Deity of Christ

    · Explicit Assertions (the NT use of theos [God] applied to Jesus Christ): Jn 1:1-4; 20:28; Rom 9:5; Tit 2:13; Heb 1:8; 2 Pet 1:1.

    · Other Applications of Divine Names to Christ: Is 6:3 and Jn 12:37-41; Is 9:6; Is 40:3; 1 Tim 3:16.

    · Divine Functions of Christ: Creator, Jn 1:3 and Col 1:16; Sustainer, 1 Cor 8:6; Col 1:17; Heb 1:3; Author of Life , Jn 1:4; Acts 3:15; Ruler, Mt 28:18; Rom 14:9; Rev 1:5; Forgiver of Sins, Mk 2:5, 10; Acts 13:38.

    · Christ Possesses Divine Attributes: Eternality, Is 9:6; Mic 5:2; Jn 1:1-2; Omnipresence, Mt 18:20; 28:20; Jn 3:13; Omniscience , Jn 2:24-25; 21:17; Rev 2:23; Omnipotence, Is 9:6; Phil 3:21; Immutability, Heb 1:11-12; 13:8.

    · There are many other texts and categories that could be cited.

    The Deity of the Holy Spirit

    · His Personhood: He Speaks, Acts 8:29; 13:2; He Is Capable of Being Grieved, Is 63:10; Eph 4:30; He is Capable of Being Lied To , Acts 5:3-4.

    · His Activities: He Regenerates, Jn 3:8; He Teaches, Jn 14:26; Bears Witness, Jn 15:26; Rom 8:16; Intercedes or Prays on Behalf of Others , Rom 8:26-27; Distributes Gifts in the Church, 1 Cor 12:11; Forbids or Doesn't Allow Certain Activities, Acts 16:6-7.

    · Divine Attributes: Omnipresent, Ps 139:7-8; Omniscience, 1 Cor 2:10-11.

    · The Jehovah's Witnesses claim the Holy Spirit is God's active force or power. If you substitute "active force" or "power of God" in the following passages: Lk 4:14; Acts 10:38; Rom 15:13; 1 Cor 2:4, you will see that the texts then make no sense.

    Some other examples:

    Matthew 1:23 "Emmanuel - God with us"

    Revelation 1:4 the Father is the One who is, was, and is to come - compare with Revelation 1:8 Christ is the One who is, was, and is to come

    Revelation 1:8 - compare with Isaiah 41:4 and use of the word "almighty" with reference to Christ

    Revelation 1:13-16 compare description of Christ here to Daniel 7:9-10 where it describes the Ancient of Days - who they will admit is God the Father

    Romans 14:8-9 The Greek word kurios is translated as "Lord" 4 times in all of 4 uses in this passage. 3 times it refers to God the father, and once to God the Son. The same word is applied to both Beings.

    Hope this helps!

    Booyakasha!

    Wow-- uncomplicated question yet solutions can get complicated. That declare, for my area is loopy. i'm a Christian and that i believe that the Bible is the inspired be conscious of God. Epistimology (how all of us understand stuff) ought to be examined from a million of three a probability strategies. a million) logic and Reasoning 2) journey 3) Authority This declare fails the logic and reasoning attempt through fact the preacher ought to assert he's the Easter Bunny (actually) and this would not be commonplace by utilising maximum nicely reasoned persons. journey -- in the adventure that your journey with the preacher tells you he's on no account incorrect, in line with probability this might artwork. extraordinarily unclear however. Authority -- Does he have the kind of authority which you shoruld believe what he says through fact he's such an expert in the sector, doubting him could be stupid (i.e. a physician tells you you have maximum cancers) -- If it somewhat is the mindset you employ for epistomolgy, you had extra appropriate be certain he listens to God at an "professional point" -- however, you will likely have little or no self belief your self utilising this device as trusting an expert is on no account particularly as convincing as figuring something out for your self or experiencing it your self. I take place to apply the "journey and logic" strategies for my perception. yet to flow into all that should be answering a query that wasn't asked.

    No, the word "trinity" doesnt appear. The word trinity is used to describe a phenomena we see the Bible teaches very clearly that Jesus is the Son of God and the Holy Spirit is of God and they are all 1 in essence, 3 in person.

    Trinity is NOT in the Bible. It means three, as in The Father, The Son, The Holy Ghost.

    There is no such thing as a trinity, that was the churches way of TRYING to explain God. It mentions the spirit as being a person, the spirit is God's force and how he gets thing done, where's the third person?

    The word "Trinity" is not exactly in the Holy Bible, in the end of the book of Acts, Jesus Christ does tell his disciples to baptize the people in the name of God, the father, in the name of the son, and in the Holy ghost or Holy Spirit, whatever you believe.

    Source(s): The Book of Acts in the Holy Bible
  • It's right next to the word Bible in the Bible.

    the WORD Trinity isn't there, but the concept is. The word POLYGAMY isn't in the Bible either, but we see many examples of that too.

    The word "trinity" is not in the New Testament, but it is the shorthand word for Paul's repeated invocation of God (the father), Jesus, and the Holy Spirit.

    "I urge you, brothers, by our Lord Jesus Christ and by the love of the Spirit, to join me in my struggle by praying to God for me." (Romans 15:30)

    "May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all." (II Corinthians 13:14)

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

    The word "rapture" is not in the New Testament either. (It wasn't even a theological concept until the 19th century.) However, it's taken on a life of its own among the most conservative Christians.
