Best Answer

The Holy Trinity is not mentioned in The Bible because the concept did not yet exist in Christian thought when the New Testament was written. The notion of the Trinity seems to have come about in the late third century and was adopted by the Council of Nicaea during 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, after the Trinity doctrine had been accepted by the Council of Nicaea.

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.
