How often is the word Trinity mentioned in the Bible?

Answer 1

Answer

In modern Bibles, 1 John 5:7 refers indirectly to the concept of the Trinity, but this was never in the early Greek manuscripts, only appearing in the Latin translation of the fifth century, after the Trinity doctrine had been accepted. There is no other explicit biblical mention of the Trinity.

Answer 2

The word "Trinity" is nowhere to be found in The Bible. : Main article: Trinity of the Church Fathers The importance for the first Christians of their faith in God whom they called Father; in Jesus Christ whom they saw as the Son of God, the Word of God,[18] King, Saviour,[19] Master;[20] and in the Holy Spirit is expressed in formulas that link all three together, such as those in the Gospel according to Matthew, the Great Commission: "Go therefore 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); and in the Second Letter of St Paul to the Corinthians: "The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all."(2 Corinthians 13:14)

source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trinity#The_Origin_of_the_Formula The trinity is mentioned in numerous places in the Bible, which is why the doctrine was formulated. There are clearly three persons mentioned in the Bible. There is equally clearly only one true God in the Bible. Numerous references are available for both. Thus it is simple logic to end up with the trinity, although how it works in practice must remain to a degree a mystery, since if we fully understood God in His entirety, He would not be God.

The three persons of the trinity are evidenced in the creation account in Genesis 1 as well as at Jesus' Baptism. 1 John 5:7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.:

This is the clearest, and pretty much the only, expression of the Trinitarian concept in the Bible. It is not, however, found in the earliest Greek manuscripts and is omitted from most modern translations.

Quote; The resulting passage is an explicit reference to the Trinity of Father, Son and Holy Spirit, and for this reason some Christians are resistant to the elimination of the Comma from modern Biblical translations. Nonetheless, nearly all recent translations have removed this clause, as it does not appear in older copies of the Epistle and it is not present in the passage as quoted by any of the early Church Fathers, who would have had plenty of reason to quote it in their Trinitarian debates (for example, with the Arians), had it existed then. click link 'Comma Johanneum ' bellow for full text John 1:1 explains that Jesus(the word)and the Father are one and the same.This patially explains the trinity,except the Holy Spirit is unfortunitly left out.If anyone out there knows of any scriptures equal or better than this one,please write them down!

Answer 3

It is never actually mentioned in the bible itself :)

______________________________________

The literal word trinity was never mentioned in the Bible, but THE trinity was. Most Christian creeds (statements of faith) have a belief in what we call the trinity. Although this word is never said in the bible, there are many verses that explain what we mean by it.

Matthew 28:19 - Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in[a] the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit

This is only one verse, but there are many where God calls Jesus his son and one with him, and vice versa, and where Jesus uses the Holy Spirit as a means to reach Christians after he is gone.

Christians see the trinity much like marriage: when two people get married, they don't melt together into one human being, but rather join together as "one". This is same way the three facets of God are not three Gods, but rather God revealing himself in three different ways, in one unity.

Answer 4

The Bible does not contain any references to the Holy Trinity, although there are passages that could be used to support the concept, if needed. 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, after the Trinity doctrine had been accepted by the Council of Nicaea.

The Trinity doctrine began to be debated in the third century, and was adopted, after heated argument and schism, in the fourth century. During much of the fourth century, it was not even clear whether those who proposed or those who opposed the doctrine would ultimately win. It was not until 391 that Emperor Theodosius finally outlawed Arianism, which opposed the Trinity doctrine.

Answer 5

You won't find it in the Bible at all.

The concept of the trinity was devoloped slowly approx in the 3rd century after Christ. The Israelites, who were God's chosen people, never worshiped a trinty of gods. They worshiped Jehovah God alone. Deuteronomy 6:4 states that "Jehovah our God is one Jehovah."

The concept of a "trinity" or one god in three, is a little bizarre.
