Is Trinity Biblical?

The Doctrine of the trinity is created by theologians to try to accurately describe what the bible teaches about The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit to the best of their abilities. The trinity is defined as, within the one being of God there exists 3 distinct co-equal and co-eternal persons that is, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. I will now provide you with verses that prove that Jesus is God, the Holy Spirit is God, and the Father is God.

Numerous sources assert that Jesus is God. In the book of John 1:1-14, John, inspired by the Holy Spirit, wrote that Jesus, the Word, is God incarnate. Additionally, in Titus 2:13, Paul proclaimed Jesus as God. I will mention a few more verses that identify Jesus as the true God.

1 John 5:20 - "And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us an understanding, that we may know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life."

Here John calls Jesus the "true God and eternal life" this is really one of the most direct verses that claim Jesus is God.

Romans 9:5 - "of whom are the fathers and from whom, according to the flesh, Christ came, who is over all, the eternally blessed God. Amen."

Hebrews 1:8 - "But to the Son He says: “Your throne, O God, is forever and ever; A scepter of righteousness is the scepter of Your kingdom."

This is the Father speaking to the Son and calling Jesus God!

Matthew 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,"

This verse here explicitly mentions all the members of the Trinity. Giving another reason for us christians to invent the doctrine of the trinity to comprehend God.

John 20:28-29 - "And Thomas answered and said to Him, “My Lord and my God!” Jesus said to him, “Thomas, because you have seen Me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”

Acts 20:28 - "Therefore take heed to yourselves and to all the flock, among which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the church of God which He purchased with His own blood."

The book of Acts has made it explicitly clear that God purchased the church with His own blood.

In the book of Philippians 2:10-11 - "that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father." This verse here mentions that everyone must confess Jesus is Lord who is the glory of God the Father.

Ephesians 1:3 - "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ,"

There are still countless more verse that even put Holy Spirit in the same place with The Fathe and The Son.

Matthew 28:18-20 -- "And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. 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, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen."

This verse above is an unequivocal proof for the doctrine of the trinity.

1 Corinthians 2:10-11 - "But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God. For what man knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God."

Mark 3:29 - "but he who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is subject to eternal condemnation”

Acts 5:3-4 -- "But Peter said, “Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and keep back part of the price of the land for yourself? While it remained, was it not your own? And after it was sold, was it not in your own control? Why have you conceived this thing in your heart? You have not lied to men but to God.” "

In the verse above Peter called the Holy Spirit, God!

Matthew 3:16-17 - "When He had been baptized, Jesus came up immediately from the water; and behold, the heavens were opened to Him, and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting upon Him. And suddenly a voice came from heaven, saying, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”

Genesis 1:26 - "Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”

These 2 verse above show the relationship of the triune God.

Deuteronomy 6:4-5 - “Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one! You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength.

When it says the Lord is One, it uses the hebrew word 'echad' which means one in unity. Unity in the midst of complexity. In Genesis 2:24 it says, "Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one (echad) flesh." The 2 shall become one flesh. In the same context the word 'echad' is used. It's still 2 people but shared together in some kind of oneness. The man and woman become a unity of people as if they are one body likewise, this same principle can be applied to God that there is a compund unity in God! In Genesis 1:1 it says, "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." The word God in hebrew means 'Elohim' which is a plural term. When we go to John 1:1-2, 14, it says, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. ... And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth." It speaks all across the bible that there is a community within the oneness of God The Father, God the Son who is the Word of God (John 1:1), and God the Holy Spirit. It's important to note that Trinitarians believe in ONE GOD! Monotheism is at the foundation of the doctrine of the trinity.

Jeremiah 31:33-34 - But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord: I will put My law in their minds, and write it on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people. No more shall every man teach his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ for they all shall know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them, says the Lord. For I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will remember no more.”

In this passage the Lord is speaking.

Similarily, according to Hebrews 10:5-7 "But the Holy Spirit also witnesses to us; for after He had said before, “This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, says the Lord: I will put My laws into their hearts, and in their minds I will write them,” then He adds, “Their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more.”" According to this passage the Holy Spirit is viewed as Lord. In II Corinthians 13:14, Paul is saying a benediction (blessing) by invoking the name of the triune God. "The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all. Amen." This verse is a benediction to the church. This verse not only mentions all the members of the trinity but also proves that they are distinct from one another.
