Where Did The Trinity Come From ?

The three monotheistic religions - Judaism, Christianity, and Islam - all

purport to share one fundamental concept: belief in God as the Supreme

Being, the Creator and Sustainer of the Universe. Known as "tawhid" in

Islam, this concept of the Oneness of God was stressed by Moses in a

Biblical passage known as the "Shema," or the Jewish creed of faith:

"Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord." (Deuteronomy 6:4)

It was repeated word-for-word approximately 1500 years later by Jesus

when he said: "...The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; the

Lord our God is one Lord." (Mark 12:29)

«"Muhammad came along approximately 600 years later, bringing the same message again: "And your God is One God: There is no God but He, ..."» (The Qur'an 2:163)

Christianity has digressed from the concept of the Oneness of God,

however, into a vague and mysterious doctrine that was formulated during the fourth century.

    Trinity came from Paul who was the false prophet which Jesus warned.

    Trinity was borrowed from hindu paganism and roman mythlogy

    God has taken great pains to gradually reveal to us something of just who he is, though nobody can comprehend his magnitude this side of eternity. He spent centuries drumming into his people the need to be unique - set apart from the pagan nations and their many false gods (polytheism). Once that was established he then sent Jesus to redeem them from legalism by becoming the once-for-all-time perfect sacrifice for our sins, and that's when his Jewish followers realised he was much more than just a good man - another prophet! Even the wind and the waves obeyed him. He could read peoples' hearts, raise the dead, and much more - all God's prerogatives. He called himself the I AM and said that nobody comes to the Father except through him.

    Of course, Muhammad could not read and so he never read the Christian scriptures. If he had done so, he might have thought twice about perpetuating Jewish misunderstandings about who Jesus was, going along with their insistence that he was never crucified / resurrected. To this day, Muslims do not know what Jesus' gospel message was because they say that record was lost. This is because they must reject the Christian scriptures according to the Qur'an. But don't imagine the Trinity only appeared in the 4th century! That was when the pre-existing belief was hammered out into a form of words that would counter all the heretical beliefs about Jesus that circulated from the 2nd century onwards. The 1st century apostles and 2nd century Church Fathers worshipped Christ as God - the same God as the Father. Only those who resist this revelation of God to us, in Christ, try to say the doctrine's origins are obscure. They are entirely biblical.

    The Trinity is confusion. The Father and the Holy Spirit don't seem to be separate "humans," The Father is who God is; Holy Spirit is what God is God sends his possess substance, now not one among 3 humans. Jesus is each God and guy. As guy, he hungered, thirsted, slept, and died. As God, he feeds the hungry, offers residing water, has no use of sleep and are not able to die. The flesh died. In John two:19, Jesus stated, "Destroy this temple, and in three days I will carry it up." Verse 21 tells what he used to be speaking approximately. Read John a million:a million-14, John 14:nine-10, Colossians two:nine-eleven, and I Timothy three:sixteen. The doctrine of the trinity arose for the reason that individuals who had no religious information had been looking to outline God.

    The trinity is one God and is referred to in the first scriptures God gave to Moses.

    The Jews did not understand the scriptures and chose to worship the law and therefore did not recognize God when he came to them in the form of man Jesus Christ. The Jews rejected Jesus this should show you the path Muhamamd chose was again the wrong path rejecting the word of God to follow a spirit he did not know. Muhammad was not familiar with God and rejected the truth that was avaialable to him.

    the trinity is the english form to describe the three persons who make up the Godhead.

    point being, this is illogical to human thought, nevertheless it is what the bible points out to be fact concerning him.

    we can argue it all day, but it will not change the bible

    It came from God.....

    One God....who eternally exists in 3 distinct Personalities:

    Father, Son & Holy Spirit.

    The 3 are never inferior to one another in nature

    1 John 5:6-8

    This is He who came by water and blood—Jesus Christ; not only by water, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit who bears witness, because the Spirit is truth. For there are three that bear witness in heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit; and these three are one. And there are three that bear witness on earth: the Spirit, the water, and the blood; and these three agree as one.
