See the next question for details
Is there proof of the trinity?
The concept of the trinity is based on four clear truths of Scripture: 1) There is one God; 2) The Father is God; 3) The Son is God; 40 The Holy Spirit is God. These four truths are taught in Scripture, thus Trinitarianism.
The doctrine of the trinity: The three Persons of the Godhead share equally and simultaneously the same divine essence and yet maintain personal distinction. There is one God with three Persons. This is so foreign to us we almost reject it for its apparent lack of logic. God is beyond our comprehension.
Does the doctrine of the trinity teach that there are three Gods?
