The Trinity doctrine was first established as a dogma with the concluding creed from the first Council of Nicaea in 325 C.E. This also gave rise to the first denomination, the "Catholic" Church. Although the teaching dates back to biblical times, the formation of the official doctrine was done to settle disputes within Christian teaching as a result of the popular heresy at that time that was spreading through the eastern parts of the Roman Empire known as Arianism.

Arianism taught that the Son (Jesus) was not of the same substance as the Father (the only true God), but of a different but similar substance. Due to the nature of the teaching at first the official Trinity doctrine was very focused on the substance of the Son in relation to the Father, and said practically nothing on the Holy Spirit.

The Nicaean Creed is dogmatic that there is one God, who is the Father Almighty, and he created everything. And one Lord, Jesus Christ, who is the Son of God, begotten of the Father (the only-begotten; that is, of the essence of the Father; very God of very God, begotten, not made, being of one substance with the Father, by whom all things were made.

However, Nicaea did not end the controversy. Debate over how the creed (especially the phrase "one substance") ought to be interpreted continued to rage for decades, as well as this, the subject of the Holy Spirit was brought into the debate. This was settled with an amendment to the Nicaean Creed at First Council of Constantinople in 381 C.E. that states that the Holy Spirit proceeds from the Father, and is worshipped and glorified with the Father and the Son together.

Whilst the creeds do make mention of the incarnation of Jesus Christ, this is not a part of the Trinity doctrine, and expressed in another doctrine called the Hypostatic Union.

Another answer from our community:

First of all, it's pagan. There were trinities in many ancient pagan cultures. Also, it isn't taught by The Bible.

John 14:28 "YOU heard that I said to YOU, I am going away and I am coming [back] to YOU. If YOU loved me, YOU would rejoice that I am going my way to the Father, because the Father is greater than I am."

1 Corinthians 11:3 "But I want YOU to know that the head of every man is the Christ; in turn the head of a woman is the man; in turn the head of the Christ is God."

John 17:3 "This means everlasting life, their taking in knowledge of you, the only true God, and of the one whom you sent forth, Jesus Christ."

John 20:17 "Jesus said to her: "Stop clinging to me. For I have not yet ascended to the Father. But be on your way to my brothers and say to them, 'I am ascending to my Father and YOUR Father and to my God and YOUR God.'"

There are dozens more scriptures that disprove the trinity.

The Holy Trinity is the Christian concept of three persons in one God: the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. The Church often refers to the concept as a mystery, but it is actually simpler than the Hindu godhead that is three gods in one, and certainly simpler and easier to understand than the ancient Egyptian syncretism that was far more complex than anything imagined in the Christian Trinity.

The Church prefers to say the Holy Trinity was always part of Christian doctrine. However, the earliest known proponent of the Holy Trinity was Tertullian, a Latin theologian who wrote in the early third century. The new concept gradually gained adherents throughout the third century but also faced opposition, particularly from Arius, a popular Libyan priest at the beginning of the fourth century. The Trinity was adopted as Christian doctrine at the Council of Nicaea in 325, but the Church remained divided until Emperor Theodosius made belief in the Trinity a requirement for all Christians, around 380 CE.

The Holy Trinity supposedly has scriptural support in the 'Johannine Comma', 1 John 5:7-8 ("For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one."), but that passage was never in the early Greek manuscripts. It appeared in the Latin translation of the fifth century,
