Do you agree that the Holy Trinity is part of divine revelation? Yes, I do. It can be clearly derived from scripture. Where do you think they developed it from? Thin air? How about divine revelation as the Holy Spirit brought to the remembrance all those things the disciples were taught by Jesus himself and which they wrote down into what we now know as Scriptures? Why would God have waited hundreds of years for some group of men to finally figure it out?
Read Matthew 28:19 and then tell me believers didn't know about the trinity until the Nicene council.

Read Matthew 28:19 and then tell me believers didn't know about the trinity until the Nicene council. I'm guessing that some got it right away. But I think others were modalists and other Arians, and more didn't trouble their minds about it. They were happy that Jesus is God and that meant SOME kind of identification with the Father and the Spirit, and more than that they didn't need to know.
It's when disagreements arise that councils must be called.

Matthew 28:19 --> ah, but non-Trinitarians would argue that that verse does not state anything about there being a Triune (Three in One) God. Old Reggie what is your commentary on that biblical verse?
