It IS in the Bible - both the Old and New Testaments. How else would Christians even know about it and believe it if it wasn’t in there?

Doctrine of the Trinity is one of those which some of you would call as in Colossians 2

8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.

It seems to have been a man named Theophilus of Antioch who first applied the term trinity to this Biblical concept as early as 181 A.D. But it was the Anathasian Creed, completed some time in the fifth century, which stated it most clearly: “We worship one God in trinity, and trinity in unity, neither confounding the persons, nor separating the substance.” http://www.piney.com/HsTheopTrinity.html

Yes the Bible talks about The Father Son and Holy Ghost but nowhere can there be found the description as define in Trinity, because it is the “Tradition of men,” it is one of those things that get started it sounds good but it really never happen...

Just like the tale that George Washington never cut down the cherry tree but is has stuck as truth forever...

First off: George Washington did NOT chop down a cherry tree. The fable had young Washington ‘fessing up to “barking” his father’s prized sapling.

However, the whole story is a moral lesson invented by the patriot’s first biographer - a former Anglican pastor and itinerant Bible salesman named Mason L. Weems.

Known throughout the country as “Parson” Weems, he wrote several books on good conduct to supplement his Bible tracts.
