---- Attached is what is called "The Athanasian Creed " (Trinitarian Doctrine)
declared by the Catholic Church as part of the salvation.
For us to have a clear picture of what the doctrine of trinity all about, we need to
extract a clear definition of the subject from varius authorized publications.
1. In christian doctrine, the unity of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit as three persons
in one Godhead. Encyclopædia Britannica
2. The Trinity is the term employed to signify the central doctrine of the Christian
religion -- the truth that in the unity of the Godhead there are Three Persons, the
Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, these Three Persons being truly distinct one
from another. Catholic Encyclopoedia
3. There is only one God; but He consists of three distinct persons, Father, Son
and Holy Spirit. The word "trinity" is not found in Scripture. It is a word used by
Christians to express the doctrine of the unity of God as consisting of three
distinct Persons. This word is derived from the Greek word trias, first used by
Theophilus (A.D. 168-183), or from the Latin trinitas, first used by Tertullian (A.D.
220), to express this doctrine. Bible Encyclopoedia
4. a word not found in Scripture, but used to express the doctrine of the unity of
God as subsisting in three distinct Persons. This word is derived from the Gr.
trias, first used by Theophilus (A.D. 168-183), or from the Lat. trinitas, first used
by Tertullian (A.D. 220), to express this doctrine. The propositions involved in the
doctrine are these: 1. That God is one, and that there is but one God (Deut. 6:4;
1 Kings 8:60; Isa. 44:6; Mark 12:29, 32; John 10:30). 2. That the Father is a
distinct divine Person (hypostasis, subsistentia, persona, suppositum
intellectuale), distinct from the Son and the Holy Spirit. 3. That Jesus Christ was
truly God, and yet was a Person distinct from the Father and the Holy Spirit. 4.
That the Holy Spirit is also a distinct divine Person. Easton Bible Dictionary
I Corinthians 4:6
And these things, brethren, I have in a figure transferred to myself and
to Apollos for your sakes; that ye might learn in us not to think of men
above that which is written, that no one of you be puffed up for one
against another.
If trinity was not taught by Chirst and the apostles, then who?
My question stands what do we believe? holy three what? holy three gods? or
holy three persons in one god?
If trinity was not taught by Christ and the apostles, then who?
If you cannot prove that Christ and the Apostles taught trinity in the bible,
Why do you insist to propagate this doctrine?
