Despite the fact that the words 'Trinity' and 'Triune' are nowhere to be found in the Bible (as has been so often pointed out by many attention-begging simpletons who've loudly earned a right to the title, "Captain Obvious"), we, nevertheless, find many people teaching that God is NOT a Trinity, that God is NOT Triune.
We hear it said that the fact that the word 'Trinity' is not in the Bible entails that the doctrine named by the word 'Trinity' was not taught by God's prophets and apostles in the Bible. It is, when you think about it for a minute, really quite amusing, to see how anti-Trinitarians are shooting themselves in the foot by imagining they have a boast in the absence of the word 'Trinity' in the Bible.
We hear it said that the apostles of Christ never even heard of the Trinity. Is that so? Well, then, it necessarily follows that the apostles of Christ never preached against, nor wrote against, the Trinity; the apostles of Christ were never anti-Trinitarians. For an anti-Trinitarian to tell you that the apostles of Christ never even heard of the Trinity is for the anti-Trinitarian to concede that the Bible is absolutely useless for the purpose of combating Trinitarianism.
We hear it said that the Trinity was an invention of the fourth century. Is that so? That would necessitate that anti-Trinitarianism was, also, invented no earlier than the fourth century; that there were no anti-Trinitarians prior to the fourth century.
