Even the Gospel of Matthew establishes the fact that Jesus was eternal in the 28th Chapter, "20 teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” The Trinity is a beautiful and necessary Christian Dogma that is arrived at systematically, by looking at scripture as a whole, not just one verse, passage, or book.
According to this guy the holy trinity is never specifically mentioned and Father, Son, and Holy Spirit only appear sequentially one time. He also says the trinity idea wasn't adopted until 325 A.D. with the Nicene Creed. So my point is that if there's such a biblical basis for the trinity concept, why did it take so long to implement?
