The specific word no, but the concept yes. (Perhaps because that specific word does not exist in Aramaic the spoken language of Christ) Christ Himself identifies The Father in heaven, Himself as the Son, and the Holy Spirit. When He said blaspheme of the Holy Spirit was the only unforgivable sin.
Quote:3. Did his early apostles and disciples who accompanied him teach it?
During the ministry of Christ no, it was not till after the day of Pentecost did they come to full revelation of the Holy Spirit of God (in acts chapter 2) Afterwords the Concept of the Holy Spirit is acknowledged and taught.
Quote:4. Where does the word "Godhead" come from?
5. Does the word "Trinity" appear anywhere in the Bible?
These terms drive from a doctrine that tries to compile the whole of scriptural teaching in a singular easy to understand concept.
