I don't know where you're getting your information from but it's definately not the Bible. No would guess that you are augmenting scripture with some doctrine of man on the issue of the Trinity. Since the Bible does not reveal that much information concerning the trinity there is no way that we can completely know everything about it. I only use the Bible as a source and everything I have studied in it leaves some real unanswered questions.
Deuteronomy 29:29 The secret things belong unto the LORD our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law.
"I don't know where you're getting your information from but it's definately not the Bible."
Two comments.
First, the formula of the doctrine of the Trinity is in the Bible, when read entirely and within the Apostolic Tradition handed down to the Bishops. Note the citation from Gregory of Nyssa that I mention "tradition of the Scriptures, etc."
Second, where exactly does the Bible say that my information about God must be explicitly stated in the Bible ONLY? I agree that it cannot contradict, but I believe we can agree that everything we are meant to believe is not always explicitly spelled out. Example: What are the Table of Contents of the Scripture? The Bible is NOT a catechism.

Hmm. Sola Scriptura and Sola Fide. Where exactly can I find those in the Bible? Are these doctrines of man?
