My take on Trinity

[TonyChanYT]

Disclaimer: I am not against people using the term Trinity. I neither affirm nor deny Trinity.

Does the Bible support the concept of the Trinity?

Sure. The term was first used by Tertullian around 200 AD. I am not against the concept of the Trinity. I am not even against the word "Trinity." My point is this: I prefer not to use the term Trinity in argumentation.

Moreover, there is plurality in unity within the divine being.

However, when it comes to doctrines, I prefer to adhere to the wording of Scripture. Trinitarians likely penned the Apostles' Creed and the Nicene Creed, yet they did not include the word "Trinity" in their creeds.

Isaiah 9:

6 For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

Do these titles refer to the same person?

When applied to the Divinity, the term person is loaded too much with anthropomorphism. I prefer to stick to the wording of the Scripture and use the term witness instead.

See

1. The Father is a witness
2. Jesus is God
3. The Holy Spirit is a witness
4. Hagar and the angel of the LORD.

The word "Trinity" is not in the Bible, so I'd avoid using it. I try to adhere to the Bible's words and wording as much as possible regarding doctrines.

Berean Literal Bible, Acts 17:

29 Therefore, being offspring of God, we ought not to consider the Divine Being [Θεῖον, Theion, G2304] to be like to gold or to silver or to stone, a graven thing of man's craft and imagination.

KJB translated Θεῖον as "Godhead"; NKJB used "Divine Nature."

The term Trinity is loaded and not in the Bible. The term Divine Being (G2304) is in the Bible. I would use that instead of Trinity.

Sure.

Hmmm..............


The Bible surely supports the concept of the Trinity but you neither affirm nor deny that which scripture supports. You might want to ask the mods to delete this op and then start over because you've got yourself claiming not to afform what scripture supports.


Here's my suggestion: Have the mods delete the sentence, "I neither affirm nor deny Trinity," because that makes the op partly about you, the op is better without that one sentence, and your personal opinion is irrelevant if the case made for the doctrine of the Trinity is impeccable.

This op should also have been posted in the Trinity board, not the Other Topics/Questions board.

Does the Bible support the concept of the Trinity?

Sure.

So you dont worship Triune god? But you believe Jesus is God? It sure is a wishy-washy statement to avoid persecution and dont have confidence in your belief.

Where does it say Jesus is divine?

Three denotes the end of a matter. beginning in Genesis . As a law of dying mankind three was needed to include what some call queen mother of heaven. A fleshly family In that we are are to call no man on earth Holy Father ,Holy Se, .Prince of the apostles the many attributes they say come from the Pope a daysman (dying mankind)

Passed down from the Faithless Jew. oral traditons of dying mankind. His and hers gods

Duality .Two the number that indicates God not seen has spoke. Using his prophet. . apostle Jesus to bring into the ears of the new born agin creatures the understanding of the father,

Christ, the husband of the church

A believer could call it the law of faith. . two working as one word (power) Both the law and the prophets (sola scriptura) the "let there be labor of love or work of Christ's faith and the good testimony "the prophets"

It apposes adding a third.(trinity ) Patron saints In that way no man can serve two good teaching masters as one invisible lord

Isaiah 8: 19 And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have familiar spirits, and unto wizards that peep, and that mutter: should not a people seek unto their God? for the living to the dead?To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word,( singular ) it is because there is no light in them
