Is The Trinity Biblical?
From the Christian Research Institute
www.equip.org
The Trinity is a basic doctrine of orthodox Christianity. Yet the word "Trinity" is not found anywhere in the Bible. Is the doctrine of the Trinity really biblical?
The doctrine of the Trinity says that there is one All Mighty One (God) who exists eternally as three distinct persons, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. I can assure you that the elements of this doctrine are all taken directly from the Bible.
The first plank of the Trinitarian platform is that there is only one All Mighty One (God). The Bible could not be more explicit on this point, which it states explicitly about two dozen times. In Isaiah 44:8 Yahweh (The LORD) says that even He does not know of any other (mighty ones)gods!
Yahshua (Jesus) often spoke of the All Mighty One (God) as His Father, and the apostles frequently spoke of "the Almighty One (God) the Father." But the New Testament also insists that Yahshua (Jesus) is The Almighty One (God). For example, Thomas acknowledged Yahshua (Jesus) as, "My Lord(master) and my Almighty One (God)" (John 20:28), and both Peter and Paul spoke of Yahshua (Jesus) as "our All Mighty One (God) and Savior" (2 Pet. 1:1; Tit. 2:13). Yet the New Testament also makes the distinction between the Father and the Son as two very different persons. In fact they tell us that they love one another, speak to each other, and seek to glorify each other (e.g., John 17: 1-26).
The Old Testament refers often to the Holy Spirit as The Almighty One (God) at work in the world, without distinction from the Father. But Yahshua (Jesus) in John 14 to 16 explained that this Holy Spirit would be sent by the Father at the Messiah’s (Christ's) request. The Holy Spirit would teach and guide the disciples, not speaking on His own initiative, but speaking on the Messiah’s 9Christ's) behalf and glorifying The messiah (Christ). Thus, the Holy Spirit is revealed by The Messiah (Christ) to be a third person distinct from the Father and distinct from the Son.
In short, the doctrine of the Trinity is completely and totally biblical, and it is essential that all the Followers of the Messiah Yahshua (Christians) give assent to this doctrine.

Anthony,

You still ranting off at me by talking to Trevor. Confront ME and challenge me.
Trevor,

Ignatius Bishop of Antioch (98-117A.D.) – Epistle to the Magnesians

For if we are still practicing Judaism, we admit that we have not received God’s favor…it is wrong to talk about Jesus Christ and live like Jews. For Christianity did not believe in Judaism, but Judaism in Christianity.

And you said that this man was trained up by Peter, a Torah keeping Hebrew? What a joke, and a conspiracy on part of your Babylonian Church full of Hebrew hatred! Trevor, COME OUT OF BABYLON!

Here is your Lord, Constantine, in his words:

"....it appeared an unworthy thing that in the celebration of this most holy feast we should follow the practice of the Jews, who have impiously defiled their hands with enormous sin, and are, therefore, deservedly afflicted with blindness of soul. ... Let us then have nothing in common with the detestable Jewish crowd; for we have received from our Saviour a different way."

And you would rather listen to THIS pagan over the Son of HaShem, who kept the most holy way of living--- the Torah? COME OUT OF BABYLON! Come and see what the enemy is hiding from your eyes! Come home, Trevor

Shalom
One quote, and you think you know Church history? WOW!

Are you going to deny that he (Ignatius) was trained and ordained by the Apostles?
Trevor,

Respond to what I said above
Trevor,

COME OUT OF BABYLON, TREVOR!
Kid, if you only knew.........
Kid,

I know, and you're still in Babylon, little boy.
James, someday you'll understand. Pray that its sooner and not later.........

fare well
Trevor,

Your days of rebellious are about to end soon. You will be welcomed home, kid. You will truly be home where OBEDIENCE TO TORAH JUST LIKE YESHUA, rest. Be blessed.

Shalom
I knew that I wouldn't get any type of acknowledgment concerning Apostle John being a pillar. Thats ok. I have seen that there is arrogance here. I have been in much debates with him before. Nothing new to me.....

However, I am brushing my shoes off here
Trevor,

The word does say that John seemed to be a pillar. Unlike you, I cannot deny what is written.
No, unlike me you didn't acknowledge what was written.
