Can I Believe in the Trinity if the Word Doesn't Appear in the Bible?

Read: The Trinity Is Not a Problem, It’s a Solution

There are several theological concepts that aren’t explicitly described or labeled in the Bible. The triune nature of God is not described with the word “trinity,” for example. How can we accept notions that aren’t’ explicitly labeled? How can we be sure such ideas are Biblical? Detective Jimmy Wallace (J. Warner’s son) tackles these questions as part of his Incarnate Investigation Video Series.

The word abortion isn’t in the bible either but the bible does tell us not to murder

[brettmciver]

The trinitarian view is a pagan view with the very thin veneer of scripture used to support it. John 1v1 is a classic case of this especially the English translation. A text without a context is a pretext and all the verses used to supposedly support the trinity are roped from its context.
Also the trinity steals from Jesus his victory over sin for if he was God he cannot be tempted by sin (see James 1 vs 13-15) and he is not the conquering king we need.
There's more issues than what I have pointed out here as well.
The many contradictions it (the trinitarian view) causes in scripture as well.

When you study the O.T it’s clear God is a trinity. Yes the word trinity is nowhere mentioned but if you read how God revealed himself throughout the bible. It’s clear he’s 3 in one.

True, the word trinity does not appear in the bible. But our God is. Jesus told the apostles to go and make disciples and baptized people in the name of the Father, Son and the Holy So now we have a NAME to our God. And the name is: FATHER, SON and HOLY SPIRIT...

I like to call it the godhead instead of the trinity

[wannabtrucker]

I am baffled by the necessity of Christians to group 3 beings into 1 for the purpose of furthering manmade doctrine. The reason the Bible doesn’t talk about 3 in 1 is because it absolutely defeats the entire existence of Jesus. Jesus walked was a man, his miracles were God inspired, although Jesus prophesied his murder, Jesus cried out to God. What would be the purpose of crying out to oneself?

What would be amazing about God performing miracles? If the being that created everything from nothing is the same being that calmed the seas it would be nothing miraculous. Jesus prays throughout the Bible to God, what would be the purpose of praying to oneself if Jesus had the ability to rectify any issue without God?

The Trinity is a created term written into doctrine 325 yrs after Christ to answer questions the church could not answer.

God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit are 3 beings but only God is God.

[J-PLeigh]

Its very clear as the Godhead, & In Christ Jesus dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily. Christ is God incarnate, thats even more of the beauty & majesty of the gospel of peace, which we now have w/ God by the greatest act of love. ~Acts 20:28 Be on guard for yourselves & for all the flock, among which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to Shepard the Church of GOD which HE purchased w/ HIS own blood. Magnify the LORD thy GOD, we are but a speck of dust, our lives but vapor, He is the Potter, we are clay, may His will be done

If one clearly and carefully reads the text of the NT, one will not find the word "trinity" nor the explicit or implicit concept contained therein. Did the apostle Paul - a contemporary with the 12 apostles who were personally taught by Jesus Christ - believe and teach the trinity concept or doctrine? Just a simple reading of scriptures like Ephesians 1:17 provides the answer where Paul states there is "the God of our Lord Jesus Christ" - which he would not have written if the Lord Jesus Christ is God. Another revealing scripture is 1 Corinthians 8:6 where Paul wrote that for true Christians "there is to us one God, the Father" and he did not say 'the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.' In this verse, he makes a clear distinction between the "one God" who is the Father, and His Son, our "one Lord, Jesus Christ". Also, there is Paul's letter to Timothy where he stated "there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, a man, Christ Jesus." (1 Timothy 2:5) If Jesus was part of a trinity or godhead then this statement by Paul is unreasonable and a lie. From just these scriptures alone the proof is given: the trinity is not taught even by a simple reading and reasoning on the scriptures. To think the scriptures teach this trinity concept is a form of self-deception or extreme pleading.

We give names all the time to the things and people. Some are good and some not so much.
People take and teach Bible wrong and that’s why so many people are lead astray. So many people are relying to their own knowledge of the Bible. Specially the ones who got all kinds of degrees and make a science out of god.
Basic and very important element is being set aside and because of it often people will not reach full knowledge of Christ. Without Holy Spirit you can read all the books of the world but you are not any closer to Him when you started off. God is spirit and the ONLY access to Him and His wisdom is through Holy Spirit.
Only those who are guided by the Spirit are the sons of God.

[codybridges]

You need to do a cold case on the “trinity doctrine”. Trinity deniers do not deny Father Son Holy Ghost. They deny the doctrine. The trinity takes away from the name that is above all names. Which is Jesus.

[thomasmurphy]

I believe in the Trinity I would have a hard time ranking them only one verse Mathew baptizing in the name.... Possibly when Jesus was baptized Voice Spirit He Jesus

Isn't God all knowing? Doesn't He know who we're referring to when we confess "Jesus is Lord"? So churches of men, consider the meanings of "no one knows who The Son is except The Father nor does no one know who The Father is except The Son, and those to whom The Son reveals Him to", consider why there's a wide door and every church or almost every embracing the doctrines and traditions of men passed down by your forefathers, such as trinity. Let it be stated and set forth today, whether you will hear or forbear. There is but one confession He's pleased in as there is but One God, hear the Word of the Lord spoken to this generation. From His Volumes of Truth:

"There is one God and Father, one Lord who causes to be - YAHUWAH. There is one Savior, The Only Begotten of The Father, by whom all things consist - YAHUSHUA. And they are ONE.
If then there is only one Lord, one God and one Savior, and in our language He is called “Lord” and “God”, then would not calling anyone or anything else “Lord” or “God”, whether a false god or a man, be blasphemy?
Does not The Lord Himself search our hearts and minds, even our innermost thoughts and intentions? Does He not know who we are referring to, when we say “Jesus is Lord”? Even throughout the world, believers and unbelievers alike know the name “Jesus” (a name given to YahuShua by men) refers to He who was crucified and rose from the dead. And if we say YAHUSHUA is YAHUWAH, is this not also self-evident?
Even before the earth was made, there is ONE alone who was and is and has always been THE LORD ABSOLUTE, which by definition demands there can be only one. Thus all others, whether man, false deity or carved image, referred to as “Lord” in English or in any other language, are false! - Deceivers! Impostors! Idols! - To call any of these “Lord” is blasphemy, even on the highest order!

For thus has The Lord spoken:
One God...
One Son, The Only Way to The Father...
One Truth, One Word, One Messiah, One Spirit;
One Food, One Bread and One Drink...
One Body...
Of which I am all,
The All in All."

Says the Lord, The Father and The Son are One, His name is YAHUSHUA-YAHUWAH! Didn't He also say "beware of false Messiah's, see i have told you beforehand."? So hear The Truth of this long haired idol arrayed in purple and scarlet.

Thus says the Lord: "Little flock, hear and understand the will and discipline of The Lord Most High. For I tell you the truth, Pentecost has been fulfilled; behold, it has passed them by unawares. Yet for some it remains, and shall also continue until the time. For many are called, yet few are chosen. Therefore have compassion and pray for them, beloved. For in the same way, you also looked to the time and waited for My words, yet they did not come. And some of you took it upon yourselves to run ahead, impatient, lacking trust, while still others waited patiently; yet all were unaware of My will, save one.
Beloved, here is wisdom: The penitent wait and bow down in thanksgiving. Yet the arrogant and false righteous stand up proudly, declaring their deliverance, a deliverance which has already passed and shall not come. For My hand is removed and My spirit taken. For only those in whom I see of Myself shall escape, and only those caught in My embrace shall fly away.
Thus as you were made to wait, so shall these within the churches of men wait. For they wait for a sound they no longer recognize, for a call to which they have shut their ears, for a shout from Him whom they have not known, a voice they have altogether rejected. For how can one who rejects My voice heed the call? And how can one who turns away from Me, embrace Me when the shout is made? For they have surely joined themselves to another, they embrace another messiah, a false christ, who looks nothing like Me. Therefore they shall surely pass through the fire, for by no other means shall they be saved.

This then is what I command you, little flock:
Have compassion, and pray for your brothers and sisters
In the churches of men and for the unbelieving of Israel;
For they must endure much for the sake of My name...
And though the day has passed, lo it has ceased
For many, it has not altogether passed away...
For My spirit remains with the first election,
And shall be restored to the penitent after...

Says The Lord."

Let's put an end to this meaningless discussion brothers and sisters, For The Truth of who He is, is beyond question. Whether you're last or first partakers of the Glory, remember there is only One Church: YahuShua, whom you call Jesus. He is the face and image of The Father, a just God and Savior, there is none beside Him.

For thus says the Lord: "I am The Lord your God who brought His people out of Egypt. I am The Lord God of Heaven and Earth. I am THE GOD; there is none besides Me. Behold, I came down to you in the flesh, and many beheld My face in The Redeemer. And now I am come again,  even to the outpouring of My spirit on all flesh.
Yet you of this world will not receive Me! Therefore I am sending out many in My own name, in the spirit and power of Elijah, to prepare My way before Me. Yet you shall persecute them, and they shall be despised by all nations. Behold, a great hissing shall arise even among My own people, and many mocking voices shall come forth from among those who call of themselves Christian and Jew. Even from among the devout of Israel shall many step forward to stone them in word and by deed, for they do always walk in the ways of their forefathers.
Yet undaunted shall My witnesses in turn speak louder, with the power of The Lord in their nostrils! - A whirlwind of words and proclamations, miraculous signs and wonders, all in the name of YahuShua The Messiah, to the astonishment of the people! They shall blow the Trumpet and call upon the name of The Lord, in judgment and sanctification alike, yet they shall not raise a hand against another in violence. For theirs is the war of words, and strong shall the word of their mouth be.
For as it was in the days of Noah, so shall the coming of The Son of Man be; as it was in Egypt, so shall it be in the Day of Preparation: A time of judgment and wrath, plus one hundred fold. As it was in all days past when I sent out My prophets, showing mighty signs and wonders, so shall it be at this time also.
Beware, for the evil one shall attempt the same. Yet believe not these prophets, nor listen to their subtle and dark speeches. Neither believe your eyes, though you behold their false signs and wonders - trickery, dark sentences, the power of the pit, deceptions clothed in falsehoods with a veneer of light and truth.

Therefore have understanding and seek wisdom,
Know who I have sent and who I am sending...
The prophets, My witnesses, 144, 000,
Who cease not from glorifying My name day and night...
Gifts and wonders without price,
All in the name of The One True God
And YahuShua The Messiah, The Risen One.

Therefore, My people, unless His name be called out in truth, by no means shall one tittle come to pass or be accounted as true. Turn your back on all who say,  “Peace, peace, ” when there is no peace! And run from those who say,  “There are no more prophets of God, ” as they subvert whole households, teaching things which they ought not for the sake of dishonest gain! Run, I say, and do not look back! Be wary and vigilant.
And to all those who dwell in the churches of men, I say this: Pray, and open not your mouths; pray and be quiet, and open not your mouths; pray and give heed, for the mouth of The Living God has spoken. Discern the spirit of those I am sending, and listen to those I have sent already. Speak not one word against them, not in open, nor in secret. Speak not one word against them, for you speak against Me; I have sent them! Behold, they carry nothing of their own, they have taken nothing with them. For I have put My words in their mouths, My trumpet has been placed in their hands, and by the power of My own spirit shall I establish them; it is I who overshadows them.
These are they who are not defiled by the corrupt doctrines and filthy traditions of the churches of men. Indeed, they stand apart from every religion, and remain spiritually undefiled, men of valor bought for a price, set apart for My purpose. Thus they shall take of Mine, and through the power of My spirit show it to you. For that which is Mine is The Son’s also. And that which is His He shall share with those who walk in union with Him, that I may be glorified in Him and He in them.

Therefore, thus says The Lord to the churches of men and to all who lead them: You shall stay silent and open not your mouths. And you shall give heed to My every decree, and now strive to obey ALL My Commandments. Yet forbear and speak, and I Myself shall come against you, on a day you did not look for and at an hour you did not expect, striking you dumb, leaving you mute for a whole season, abased in the sight of many witnesses!
Thus those who were full shall be left empty, so they may be truly filled up, and those who were thought of as first shall be last. Yet those who were forsaken as last shall be first partakers of The Glory. And those without knowledge shall be given great knowledge, for Love has saved them. Yet those who had attained great knowledge shall be brought down to shame, so they too may be glorified in My presence, for Love has saved them."

Look past me for i'm a mere man, a servant inspired of God, a quoter. Not a prophet who heard His voice clearly as Moses or Timothy, therefore let's remember: One Lord, One God, One Savior. From everlasting to everlasting,

Amen.

Trinitas is Latin, which Christ never spoke. The Catholic Church speaks and reads in Latin, which i personally never regard as Biblical. Note; i say “personally”.
Hebrew & Aramaic, not Arabic, Christ our beloved Messiah Yeshua, did speak! As did most of His Apostles. Therefore, Hebrew word “Shiloosh & Kadosh” must be understood Biblically. Christ, said HE & HIS FATHER are “ONE”. The Kadosh “assented” upon Yeshua when John the Baptist Baptized Christ Yeshua the Messiah. Christ also says anyone who blaspheme the Kadosh...would be better off never being born. Our Father in Heaven came in the Flesh as Yeshua Christ Messiah, and was crucified and rose again on the 3rd Day. HIS works had too be completed, for those who follow Christ Yeshua. No Man has ever seen the Father in Heaven. Only Christ and the Holy Spirit, which is also given too believers as the Comforter—Helper

[JudeOneFour]

My Goodness, the Trinity and Modalism or ANY form of that foolishness is unbiblical, period. What book are you people reading? Jesus is a human from the lineage of King David, the Second Adam, the Exalted King of Israel. The Trinity/Modalism jesus does not exist
