The word “Trinity” is not mention in Scriptures either. Yet many claim Mormons are not Christian because we do not use the evangelical definition of the trinity, which evolved over time between 300 and 400 A.D. that God is “one indivisable substance in three persons.” Mormons view the godhead separately as Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ and the Holy Ghost who are one in spirit and purpose, but three separate beings, as revealed in the Scriptures.
Since this evangelical definition of the Trinity was not complete until nearly 400 years after the death of Christ, then the prophets and the apostles identified in the Bible are not Christians in that sense, since the “trinity” and its definition are not found in either the scriptures or in the writings of early Christian leaders.
It doesn’t matter to me if you think I’m a Christian or not. Only God knows my heart.
I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
26 Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness.."
Just want your opinion no mean spirit intended.
27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.
Then you deny the doctrine of the Trinity? Who was speaking when God said, “Let US make man in OUR image,” then? A God who was somehow enjoying fellowship, who was enjoying community, who had no *need* of additional fellowship (e.g., humans or angels), but for His glory created us nonetheless.
If you want to make such a big deal out of the doctrine of the Trinity apparently not being identified until 400 AD, why insist that the doctrines introduced by Joseph Smith much later *are* true?
Yes, you are ashamed of the pure gospel of Jesus Christ. And so you have to *add* something — the fiction that Joseph Smith introduced in the book he conceived.
Again, I ask: Where are those gold plates, and who has recently translated them into English? Tell me that. Where are those plates? Who else has translated them?
You can’t tell me, because it’s all fiction. An invention from a clever and deceptive and twisted mind.
He didn't use the word that we now transliterate as Trinity but he continually refers to His abilities to forgive, raise the dead, and perform other supernatural miracles, as being claimed only by God.
