Is God A Trinity PDF - Church of God Faithful Flock

Theophilus could not possibly have gotten theidea of a Trinity from the Bible - if he really didhave a Trinity of persons in mind, which appearsunlikely from the preceding statement - as theBible nowhere even alludes to God being a Trinity.From the time of Theophilus, it was several hun·dred years before this doctrine became a part ofthe Catholic dogma. It was in the last twenty.fiveyears of the FOURTH century that "what might becalled the definitive trinitarian dogma 'one God inthree persons' became thoroughly assimilated intoChristian life and thought" (New Catholic Encyclopedia,"Holy Trinity").From this it is evident that this "central doctrine"of Catholicism and Protestantism was not apart of the "faith which was once deliveredunto the saints" (Jude 3) during or prior to thetime of Jude, but was added by latertheologians.The doctrine of the Trinity was not what JesusChrist "came upon the earth to deliver to theworld." He came to preach the good news of Hissoon-coming Kingdom, to establish His trueChurch, to give His life as a sacrifice for all whorepent, and to give God's Holy Spirit to those whoare baptized - the Spirit that empowers believersto be ONE with the Father and the Son.
