BIBLICAL DOCTRINE OF TRINITY

There are two major currents of teachings about "Trinity". The first, and the major one, believes that God is unique and the same time He is tri-in-unity. The second current says that it is a invention of Catholic priests that turned the real meaning of the scriptures. I am going to teach you the same way I have learnt since my youth.

Before to expose this doctrine, it is important to do some considerations: " For we walk by faith, not by what we see", according to the Book of 2Corinthians 5;7. Faith is a gift that God share with us to believe. It is a mystery. Its meaning is at Hebrews 11:1 "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Then, faith shall come first and the reason may follow it, As you can see, we are dealing with abstract concepts.

Math has many abstracts ideas. Why three means 3 things? Because it is a convention, it is accepted by a association of three things to the figure 3. Decades ago, it was considered that the atom was the least portion in which it might divide the matter. Today, we know that it is a composed unity. Its major particles are protons, neutrons and electrons. The visible light we see, according to the books of physics is an eletro-magnetic wave situated between the infrared radiation and ultraviolet rays. Light also has three basic characteristics: brightness ( amplitude), colour ( frequency) and polarization ( angle of vibration).

Water, is the simplest example of a composed thing. It can be found in nature by three forms: solid ( ice), vapour ( steam) and in the liquid form. We are acostumed to the simplicity of it. Its molecule is composed by three aton=ms: two atoms of Hydrogen and one of Oxygen.

The idea of composed unity is also can be found in commerce. A company is known by its denomination, for example: Fiat, Toyota, Ford, Coke. Everyone of them has many shareholders.

Now, let us to the essence of the question: Why the Christian God is unique and the same time trinity ( three-in-unity), once there is no this term in the whole Bible?

Just one more paragraph. Jacob married around the age of 77. But it is not written in the Bible too. If you investigate you will see Joseph was 39 ( Gen. 41:46 and 45:6) at the same time his father was 130 years ( Gen 47:9). Then we can infer that Jacob was around 90 years when Joseph came to birth. According to Genesis 30:25, and 31:41, Joseph was born in the last year Jacob was serveing for Rachel, and begining to work per a salary. Jacob was around 97 when he left Laban's House. As you can see, there are many hidden things in the Bible, I mean the age ofJacob, 77 years, was realy too old to get married...

The same way the concept of a Trinity God is implicit in many biblical versicles. Be careful! You first have to believe, by faith, to see after. Once the books from Torah are the same of the protestant Bible, there is no any falsification made by catholic priests. This is an absolute truth. Then, let us go to see many versicles.

Genesis 1:1
In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. In the original scriptures God comes from " 'elohiym " a plural intesive of single meaning.

Genesis 1:26
Then God said "Let Us make man in Our image , according to Our likeness ; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea over the birds of the air , and over the cattle , over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth ."

Genesis 3:22
Then the LORD (J@hovah) God said "Behold , the man has become like one of Us, to know good and evil . And now, lest he put out his hand and take also of the tree of life , and eat , and live forever "

Genesis 11:7
"Come , let Us go down and there confuse their language , that they may not understand one another’s speech ."

Deuteronomy 6:4
"Hear , O Israel : The LORD our God , the LORD is one !"
" 'echad " = one, a collective plural.

To finish,

Hebrew 1:1-2
God, who at various times and in various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets, has in these last days spoken to us by His Son, whom He has appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the worlds;

John 17:23
"I in them, and You in Me; that they may be made perfect in one, and that the world may know that You have sent Me, and have loved them as You have loved Me.

John 14:26
"But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.

John 15:26
"But when the Helper comes, whom I shall send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father, He will testify of Me.

John 17:5
"And now, O Father, glorify Me together with Yourself, with the glory which I had with You before the world was.

Acts 1:8
"But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth."

Acts 2:
33 Therefore, being exalted by the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, He hath shed forth this which ye now see and hear.
39 For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all who are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call."

I hope you could see we must have faith in God. There are many texts about this subject; our correct position when we listen to, or we read some bible teaching is to pray asking for the grace of the LORD to be in the right way. To a sincere soul, God allways has a sincere answer.
