It is rather silly, all the people who are arguing about the doctrine of the trinity.
there is nothing wrong with naming a seen doctrine. the word need not appear. the name is defined by the doctrinal points.
It would not matter if it were called Doctrine A.

However we can see that the Father created, the Holy Spirit created and the word created.
we can see all three are called God
We can read that all three are credited for the raising of Jesus.
We can observe that John the Baptist viewed the Holy Spirit in the visual form of a dove while viewing the Word made flesh and hearing the Father.
So, even though the doctrine is not taught, directly as a cohesive singular unit of preaching,
Scripture never teaches that one must have some sort of grasp of the nature of God to be saved.

    Hey, this is impacting. Trinity doesn’t exist as a word in the Bible but the idea does

  2. Law Olivier says:

    Not only that, but read John 17.

    Reading grammatically, it definitely shows God and Jesus are separate AND the same.

  3. Arthur Adam Haglund says:

    Scripture, from Genesis, shows God to be a singular, yet plural being.

  4. Olivaire Watler says:

    My problem with the classical doctrine of the Trinity is that I do not see that scripture teaches that the Son is equal to the Father. If I’m right that would be a serious heresy.

  5. Patrick Yisrael says:

    A couple of the “omni” doesn’t appear either, does that mean יהוה isnt? Omniscient [all knowing] Omnipresent [present everywhere]

  6. Kevin Fryer says:

    AMEN to that brother

  7. Rick Holtsclaw says:

    The Scriptures do not teach that the Father or the Spirit were tasked with Creation but the Son, at the behest of the Father, is Creator alone.

    “The Father loves the Son and has given all things into His hand.” John 3:35 (NASB)

    We do see the Spirit of God present at Creation in Genesis 1:2 but the actual task of creation and transforming elements from the Spiritual realm into matter that is constrained/apprehended by Time and physics was a task given to the Son (Hebrews 11:3; John 1).

  8. Arthur Adam Haglund says:

    In the Old Testament, we DO see that GOD came and spoke and then, the Word of God came ‘unto me’ and spoke.
    There is a distinction there, as well.
    We see the spirit of god filled the workers who make the tent and the temple.

  9. Sammy Milgate says:

    If you deny the trinity you’re a heretic on the same page as denying the divinity of Christ

  10. John Marquis says:

    That’s the problem with many, unless they read a “thou shalt or thou shalt not” they are unable to discern deeper truths of the Kingdom!

  11. Stephen Arbuthnot says:

    God , Holy spirit, and Jesus are sole identities. Spirituality intwined in grace.
    Jesus called out to the father and prayed to the father.
    There’s nothing wrong in naming a trinity but they are singular
