Is The Trinity Biblical?
From the Christian Research Institute

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.

Trinity, Trinitarian or Triune God are not even in the Bible. How can you have a Doctrine of the Trinity when no mention of this is even in the Bible. I thank God that the Apostles Doctrine is fully Documented in scripture in Acts 2:38-42
Your statement sounds as if you think the Apostles didn't follow Christ. Their teachings were in harmony with Christ. Were they not?

1 Corinthians 11:1
Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ.

By the way, your joke about crack cocaine was really funny. rofl
Why did the Apostles do it then? You're the bible scholar, professor, theologian right? I see all you plaques behind your head, you positioned your head dead center, good pose with a power tie on. You tell me were the Apostles wrong when they baptized in Jesus name? Answer that question!
Not hating, I have plaques too, congrats. But I really want an answer to the questions. Were the Apostles wrong when they baptized in Jesus name?
The only problem with the above concerning Matthew is, If the name of Jesus isn't included, there is no remission of sins.

THIS WOULD SOLVE SO MUCH AND COVER YOUR BUTTS.

'AS JESUS COMMANDED TO BAPTIZE THEM IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER, SON AND HOLYGHOST - I THEREFORE BAPTIZE YOU IN THE NAME OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST FOR THE REMISSIONS OF YOUR SINS'
Well, what about the scripture that states one Lord, one faith, one baptism?
Anthony You said: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit is the final name of the ONE true God

Wow, he has a long name. I think even die hard Trinitarians would disagree with that statement.
Neither is the term ONENESS for that matter!!!
Oneness is what you all call us. Our Doctrine is the Apostles Doctrine as we have stated many many times. For the sake of this discussion, we respond to Oneness.
You all respond to Oneness in almost every convo. Its your universal name!
Trevor,
Our Universal name is not Oneness, but Children of the most high God. The Lord Jesus Christ. Oneness is just a description given. Many years ago it was called Jesus Only.
Let’s reason with one another and forget about our own beliefs, set them aside for one moment and look at the truth, it’s the truth that will set us free. AMEN?

Let’s talk about the Apostolic Fathers, The Apostles themselves. The first apostles organized the Church when they were alive, and this is recorded in the book of Acts, and is called the apostolic period. They were hand picked by Jesus and commissioned by him to go forth and do exactly what they did. They set the foundation to the doctrine that was to be preached also referred to as "the gospel" and they set the ground work to how the first churches operated. This is the church that Lord said “the very gates of hell shall not prevail against.” Now, any church that claims to be a true church of God but do not have the same teachings and order as the Apostles cannot be a true church of God. God has a true church and it’s recorded in the book of Acts, this was done so that we today would know the functions of the first church. This is God’s order and if your church do not resemble this church, then your church is out of order.

What did they preach? 1.The baptism in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ 2. Repentance 3. Remission of sins through water baptism 4. Receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost.

What went on in their churches? 1. Praising and worshiping 2. Speaking in tongues 3. Prayer 4. Casting out devils 5. Gifts of the Spirit and the fruit of the Spirit

This is all recorded in the book of The “Acts of the Apostles,” these are the things that they did this is their doctrine as it is stated in Acts 2:38-42...And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship.

The Apostles sealed it with this statement in Galatians 1:6-9 I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. As we said before, so say I now again, if any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.

Think about it.
