We believe in the Blessed Trinity because we believe in Jesus, Who revealed the Trinity Godhead.

Jesus revealed that God was a Trinity of Persons, but in an indirect manner, implicitly found within the Scriptures as interpreted by the Church. We can point to passages that "show" the Trinity, but they rely on a certain paradigm, a mind set that sees a verse to be read a certain way. Thus, the Bible alone is not of much help in coming to the Doctrine of the Trinity.

Yes Trinity means 3 and I repect your interpretation, but to say Jesus revealed the Trinity is a misleading for the word Trinity is not in the Bible.

I chose not to content your concept of the 3 personage My dispute is the fact that the word Trinity is not in the scriptures and to credit Jesus with use of the word Trinity is a misnomer!


Cheers!
