Why Is the Trinity Not Mentioned in Scripture? - Garner Ted Armstrong - May 1978

Garner Ted Armstrong

Does religion have to be a "mystery" in order to be understood? No one truly understands the so-called "mystery of the Trinity." Some nevertheless insist their followers accept the doctrine, though admitting it is a mystery incapable of being understood! But Jesus said: "you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." He said: "Thy word [the Bible] is truth." Can you really understand about God; about the family of God; about who and how many members make up the Godhead? God's Word says you can - and you must. Believe it or not, the Bible nowhere teaches the Trinity. Here's the proof. Why is the word "Trinity" not found anywhere in the Bible? Look it up for yourself use any Bible dictionary or exhaustive concordance. The word "Trinity" just isn't there! But then, neither is the word "Lent," nor the word "rapture," for that matter. But why? Why should it be that some of the major doctrines of a professing Christian world are shockingly absent from the Bible, the Word of God? Don't most religious organizations claim to find their doctrines in the Bible? Probably you have either heard or sung many times the song called "Holy, Holy, Holy." Millions have. In it, the words "blessed Trinity" appear. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
