But the trinity is mentioned in Matthew 28:19 (NOG) = "So wherever you go, make disciples of all nations: Baptize them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit."
If I remember correctly, this was added later to the text. So not in the originals.
Yeah, especially since later on apostles disobey this order and baptize in another name
Acts 10:48 So he ordered that they be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked Peter to stay with them for a few days.
Acts 19:5 On hearing this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.
Still, since actual Trinity is not defined in Bible theologians could have picked other three to be trinity, like Jesus, Peter and Paul and every time their names are mentioned together...
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
