THE DOCTRINE OF THE TRINITY IS CONSIDERED TO BE THE TRUTH ABOUT THE GODHEAD WHEN THERE IS NOT ONE MENTION OF THE WORD “TRINITY” IN THE BIBLE. Since There Is No Mention Of The Word “Trinity” In The Bible, Let Alone A Reference To Confession Of The Doctrine Of The Trinity Being Essential For Salvation, Many Wonder Why Church Leaders Are Prepared To Murder Those Who Have Stated This Fact. For some propagating a man-made dogma is more important than violating the Word of God, which says that those who hate and murder other people do not possess eternal life.

Why are some Christians/Christian denominations so adamant about the Trinity being central to the faith despite the fact that it's never specifically mentioned in the Bible?

Happy Riches answers an anonymous question.

You ask the question of people who have no idea, Why the word “Trinity” is not in the Bible.

The reason the word is not in the Bible is simply because it is not to be found within its pages.

The corollary of the word “trinity” not being found in the Bible is the question: If the word Trinity is not found in the Bible why is there a doctrine of the Trinity.

The simple answer is because some people saw fit to create the doctrine of the trinity rather than accept that it does not exist within the Bible and therefore is not really a matter of great importance when the Bible teaches emphatically:

• Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him. By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments. (1 John 5:1-2)

However, certain individuals consider that what is written in the Epistle of John above, as insufficient, and had to create creeds and dogmas that had to be accepted and declared to be true.

If people did not accept the creeds and dogmas, they would be excommunicated and ostracized—even murdered.

An example of this is the murder of the Christian Michael Servetus at the hand of John Calvin, who authorized his execution. The Bible clearly states:

• Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him. (1 John 3:15)

Those who hold John Calvin in high esteem and call themselves Christians, refuse to denounce his actions, instead they go looking for mitigating circumstances for his authorizing the murder of Michael Servetus. Calvin signed his death warrant even though Servetus went by what the Bible actually states. This is evident by the Calvinists defense found on the Got Questions Org website.

Why did John Calvin have Michael Servetus burned at the stake for heresy?
The condemnation and death of Michael Servetus has been a black mark on John Calvin’s record for centuries. Was the burning of Servetus justified, or was it cold-blooded murder? God will judge. In contemplating the history of Calvin and Servetus, it is good to remember the following facts:
– The laws in Switzerland made heresy punishable by death; Servetus’ death was thus justified in the eyes of the Geneva Council. Plus, the councils of Berne, Zurich, Basle, and Schaffhausen were consulted, and they all encouraged the verdict and punishment.
– Calvin agreed with the sentence of death passed on Servetus; however, he urged that in mercy Servetus be executed by the sword, not by burning. The council rejected his suggestion.—Bible Questions Answered

As for the Trinity being a basic belief of Christians, this is debatable. People like myself,who have been reconciled with the Father through Lord Jesus Christ and have been baptized in the Holy Spirit do not give the concept of the doctrine of the trinity a second thought, and see no need to adhere to the man-made dogma.

The Bible teaches that whoever confesses Jesus as Lord, does so unto salvation.

• That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. (Romans 10:9-11)

In fact, you can read the Bible and there is no requirement to acknowledge or confess to any man-made dogma concerning any trinity or anything else for salvation. Therefore, anybody who is prepared to kill another person because a person is unwilling to acknowledge anything other than what the Bible actually states (Romans 10:9-11) has to be a false prophet (1 John 3:15; Matthew 7:23). Likewise, those that follow and defend those who do such things also are guilty of the same act according to Jesus (Matthew 23:29-32).
