Following are other words that the Bible does not use, but the concepts are mentioned:
- Atheism is the teaching that there is no God. "The fool has said in his heart, 'There is no God'" (Psalm 14:1).(see atheism)
- Divinity which means divine quality or godlike character. Yet, we speak of the godlike quality of the Lord God. See Psalm 139.
- Incarnation which means the word (God) who became flesh. Yet, this is definitely taught in the Bible (John 1:1, 14).
- Monotheism is the teaching that there is only one God (Isaiah 43:10; 44:8).
- Rapture is the teaching that the Christians who are alive when Jesus returns will be caught up to meet Him in the air (1 Thess. 4:16-18).
So, to say that the Trinity isn't true because the word isn't in the Bible is an invalid argument. Furthermore, to say that--if God wanted us to believe in the Trinity He would have clearly taught it in scripture--is also an invalid argument. Something does not have to be clearly formulated in the Bible to be valid. Not all things taught in the Bible are perfectly clear. Take a look at the book of Revelation. It contains many things that are cryptic that must be interpreted after examining all of the Bible. Even then, there are disagreements as to what some things mean. Yet, we know that the truths there are true whether or not we discover them.
Nevertheless, there are scriptures that demonstrate a Trinitarian aspect.
- Matt. 28:19, Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
- 2 Cor. 13:14, The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be with you all.
- Eph. 4:4-7, There is one body and one Spirit, just as also you were called in one hope of your calling; 5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism, 6 one God and Father of all who is over all and through all and in all. 7 But to each one of us grace was given according to the measure of Christs gift.
- Jude 20-21, "But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith; praying in the Holy Spirit; 21 keep yourselves in the love of God, waiting anxiously for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to eternal life."
Na hata christinity halipo kwenye bible ila bado linatumika na hakuna anaeuliza.
Na trinity haipo ila bado inatumika kama ni nguzo moja ya ukristo
Utajaibu kulazimisha ila The trinity is not Biblical.The word Trinity is not even in the Bible or Bible dictionaries, was never taught by jesus and never mentioned by him.There is no basis or proof in the Bible whatsoever for the acceptance of the Trinity.
You mentioned Matthew 28:19 if you mention three persons are sitting or eating together does it mean that they are forming one person. it seems that your pastor told you about Trinity but never gave you a proper histrory of it. Allow me to tell you in brief,
History of Trinity
The formulation of the trinity by Athanasius, an Egyptian deacon from Alexandria,was accepted by the council of Nicaea in A.D 325 (More than three century after Jesus had left).
No doubt that Roman paganism had influence in this doctrine,the triune god;Sabbath was shifted to sunday;December 25 which was the birthday of their sun-god Mithra,was introduce as Jesus Birthday,althought the Bible predicted and forbade the decoration of xmass in jeremiah 10:2-5.
Ukitaka niendelee naweza kuikuza lakini Trinity sio mpango wa mungu ila influence ya kipagani na ndo maana nikakwambia bible imeingizwa na si maneno ya mungu yaani kwa maana nyengine mumenajiss.
How can you say we are wise and the law of the lord is with us but behold,the false pen of the scribes has made it into a lie Jeremiah 8:8 and (matthew 15:8)
Aya zote ulizotoa hazioneshi kwamba kuna trinity kwenye bible halafu kuwa watatu it doesnt mean there is a trinity ila ni man made lakini swali kwanini si wakristo wote wanaoamini trinity
