Basic Definition:
Within the one Being that is God, there exists eternally three co-equal and co-eternal persons, namely, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
Detailed Definition:
There is one God, the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all that is, seen and unseen.
From the Father was begotten the Son before creation, the Word, very God from very God. The Son is not a god, but the word of God; he is the exact imprint of the Father's essence.
Proceeding from the Father, through the son, is the Holy Spirit, very God from very God. The Holy Spirit is not a god, but the power of God; he is that which is God.
All three persons work as one unit in everything.
Although they are co-equal in substance, all three are fully God, the Son is subordinate to the Father, and the Holy Spirit is subordinate to both the Father and the Son.
The Doctrine of the Trinity does not address the humanity of Christ, only his divinity.

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.
