Hi epouraniois, I am a serious Bible student, even as you. I responded to MUSTAFAA's initial post on his questioning the trinity, with him wondering how this can truly be a Biblical doctrine. When he read the Bible, he could not come to believe that Jesus is God, finding no support for it. He...

Hi Swampfox, You point to Colossians 2:9 as a Scripture that supports the trinity. But, Liddell and Scott’s Greek-English Lexicon defines the Greek word used there, the·o´tes, in basically the same way it does thei·o´tes as at Romans 1:20, as meaning “divinity, divine nature.” (P. 792) The...

Hi MUSTAFAA, The doctrine of the trinity has long been taught by the churches. It was not an established doctrine of the church for almost three hundred years following the death of the apostle John in about 100 C.E. The Catholic Encyclopedia says of the trinity: "The Trinity is the term...
