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!

With all due respect, I don't find in your quotations where anyone did any such thing. All have credited Him as revealing the concept.

(åïñôÞ) ôçò Áãßáò ÔñéÜäáò. Äåßôå åðßóçò: trinity

The forgoing is Greek for Trinity Sunday. The following will give a description:

History of the Doctrine of the Trinity

The doctrine of the Trinity took centuries to develop, but the roots of the doctrine can be seen from the first century.

The word "Trinity" is not found in the New Testament, nor is the doctrine explicitly taught there. However, foundations of the concept of the Trinity can be seen in the New Testament, especially in the Gospel of John, one of the latest and most theologically developed of the New Testament books. 1

I would agree, the terminology comes from, at least written down, Tertullian around 200 AD. But the word "Bible" is not there either, so it isn't a big deal to me!
