The concept of the Trinity is no doubt based on an interpretation of John 1:1: "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." It is supposedly also supported by 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, after the Trinity doctrine had been accepted by the Council of Nicaea.

When was the discovery of Holy Trinity?
The concept of the Holy Trinity seems to have evolved in the third century. This became controversial in the early part of the fourth century, with some support for the doctrine and some strong opposition. The Council of Nicaea approved the doctrine, known as Trinitarianism, but the opposing doctrine, Arianism, continued to have strong support and almost won the day. Finally, at the end of the century, Emperor Theodosius declared Arianism to be heresy. There is no evidence for or against Trinitarianism in the Bible, although a passage known as the 'Johannine Comma' (1 John 5:7) does refer indirectly to the concept of the Trinity. However, the 'Johannine Comma' was never in the early Greek manuscripts, only appearing in the Latin translation of the fifth century, long after the Trinity doctrine had been accepted by the Council of Nicaea.
Where can TRINITY be found in the bible?
The word 'Trinity' can not be found in the Bible, nor can any actual references to the Trinity. The Holy Trinity was a third century concept that was adopted by the Council of Nicaea and made legally binding by Emperor Theodosius later in the fourth century. A passage known as the "Johannine Comma" (1 John 5:7) does refer indirectly to the concept of the Trinity, but was never in the early Greek manuscripts, only appearing in the Latin translation of the fifth century, long after the Trinity doctrine had been accepted by the Council of Nicaea.
How long has the trinity existed?
If you mean Trinity in the Christian sense, the word is not found in the Scriptures but used to express the unity of the doctrine of God as subsisting as Three Distinct Persons. The word is derived from the Greek 'trias' first used by Theophilus (AD 168-183). It was also found in Latin by Tertullian (AD 220) to express this doctrine
How old is the Holy Trinity?
A:The Blessed Trinity, or Holy Trinity, is understood as three persons in one God: the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. The official Christian position is that the Holy Trinity already existed at Creation, and 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. Thus, the Holy Trinity could also be regarded as coming into existence with Tertullian in the 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, after the Trinity doctrine had been accepted by the Council of Nicaea and long after the time of Tertullian.

What is the Holy Trinity and why is it contradictory?
A:The Holy Trinity, or Blessed Trinity, is simply understood as three persons in one God: the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. As a concept, this is not at all contradictory. After all, Hinduism has a godhead that is three gods in one, and the ancient Egyptian syncretism of its gods was far more complex than anything imagined in the Christian Trinity. The Church does not describe the Holy Trinity as contradictory, but does often liken it to a mystery, continuing with an explanation that only serves to make the Trinity seem more difficult to understand. This even sometimes seems like a defensive response in the face of disbelief.What is more contradictory is that the Church prefers to say the Holy Trinity was always part of Christian doctrine yet 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.Theologians point to 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.") to demonstrate that the Holy Trinity was always part of Christian doctrine, but that passage was never in the early Greek manuscripts. It appeared in the Latin translation of the fifth century, after the Trinity doctrine had been accepted by the Council of Nicaea and long after the time of Tertullian.
Why does it take kids so long to get ready?
Because they have not been taught to get ready quickly or efficiently
Can you fully understand the Blessed Trinity?
A:This should be no problem. Hinduism also has a godhead that is three gods in one. And the ancient Egyptian syncretism of its gods was far more complex than anything imagined in the Christian Trinity. The Church describes the Holy Trinity as a mystery, often continuing with an explanation that only serves to make the Trinity seem more difficult to understand. But, I have no difficulty in understanding the concept of the Holy Trinity, so for me it is not a mystery. The Blessed Trinity is simply understood as three persons in one God: the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. What could be hard to understand is why the Church took so long to decide that the Holy Trinity was an explanation for God. 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 divinded until Emperor Theodosius made belief in the Trinity a requirement for all Christians, around 380 CE.The Blessed 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.

What did the Qu'ran teach?
Quran taught many things. Quran taught the Oneness of God that was already taught in the Jewish and Christian Bible. It would be a long list if one were to write what Quran taught. Therefore I would write only few things that was not taught in the Jewish or Christian Scripture. Quran taught that Islam is Allah's religion and Allah has given a religion to mankind (God of the Bible never gave a religion to humankind). Quran taught to kill polytheists (Surah 9:5) and Christians and Jews (9:29). Quran taught that Allah loves those who fight for him. Quran taught Jesus did not die. This teaching came 600 years after Jesus died in 30AD. Quran taught that Trinity is Father, Jesus and Mary. Christian teaching of the concept of Trinity is the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Quran taught that even all muslims have to go to hell (Surah 19:71)! Quran taught that Muhammad is a prophet of Allah. Quran taught that men can take up to 4 wives (Muhammad had exception to take any number). Quran taught men will get milk, vine and virgins in heaven.
