Frequently Asked Questions

Is the word 'Trinity' found in the Bible?+

No, the word 'Trinity' does not appear in the Bible. However, the concept—that God is one being existing in three distinct persons (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit)—is demonstrated throughout Scripture, particularly in passages like Matthew 28:19, 2 Corinthians 13:14, and 1 Peter 1:2.

What is the difference between how the Old Testament and New Testament present the Trinity?+

The Old Testament contains implicit references to God's multifaceted nature (such as God's Spirit, God's Word, and God Himself), while the New Testament explicitly presents all three persons working together, particularly at Jesus' baptism and in the Great Commission. The New Testament also clearly identifies Jesus as the Son and the Holy Spirit as a distinct person.

How do theologians explain that God is one but exists as three persons?+

Christian theology uses the term 'essence' to describe God's singular divine nature and 'persons' to describe how God reveals Himself—as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Each person is fully God, yet they are distinct in their roles and relationships, though this remains a profound mystery that transcends human understanding.
