Trinity? Galations 1, Romans 8, 1 John 2:19...How is it made manifest?

It's John 2:19, not 1 John 2:19.

In these three examples we have the the Father, the Spirit and Christ Himself raising Himself.

However, one will not find much trinitarian in St. Paul's wiritngs. In fact even in Romans 8 where he mentions the Spirit of God, he is using the term distinctly in the OT manner as power of God and not a distinct Hypostasis.

One will nto arirve at any trinitarian forumla by focusing on St. Paul.

"Destroy this temple [understood to be euphamism for His Body], and I will raise it again in three days."


Thanks for the correction. My bad.

Requires a vivid imagination, or better yet, an "authority" to tell you what to see.

Aren't you the person who gave the two citations from Paul to "prove" the Trinity in Scripture?
