Where Did The Trinity Teaching Come From?
#12
RE: Where Did The Trinity Teaching Come From?
The Hebrew word for God is Elohim (Strong #430) which is a plural noun.

Genesis 1:26 "And God said let us make man in our image after our likeness."
Genesis 3:22 And the Lord God said, "Behold the man is become as one of us..."
Genesis 18:1-3 "And lo three men stood"
Isaiah 6:8 "Who will go for us"
John 10:30 "I (Jesus) and my father are one."

In the new testament the most convincing is Jesus' baptism in Matthew 3:13-17, Mark 1:9-11, and Luke 3:21-22.

Matthew:13 Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him. 14 But John forbad him, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me? 15 And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it to be so now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he suffered him. 16 And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him: 17 And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

Here we see that Jesus is physically present, the Father speaks, and the Holy Spirit descended in bodily form (Luke) like a dove. Three separate entities of God manifest at one point in time.

If it could be proven beyond doubt that God exists...
and that He is the one spoken of in the Bible...
would you repent of your sins and place your faith in Jesus Christ?
