The doctrine of the Holy Trinity stands as one of the most foundational and yet enigmatic concepts in Christian theology. The belief that God exists as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit has been central to Christian faith since its earliest days. However, the formal and precise articulation of this doctrine took time, leading to the famous Nicene Creed, formulated at the Council of Nicaea in AD 325. But long before Nicaea, early Christians grappled with the mystery of the Trinity. In this article, we will delve into the fascinating journey of proving the Trinity before Nicaea and uncover the threads of evidence and theological exploration that preceded this critical council. To establish the existence of the Trinity before the Nicene Council, we must first examine the biblical evidence. The Old and New Testaments provide clues that allude to the Triune nature of God. While the term "Trinity" is not explicitly found in the Bible, the foundational concepts can be identified through various passages and theological clues. Post Reply

homelesschristian View Profile History	Proving the Trinity Before Council of Nicaea | Early Christian Theology Posted : 25 Oct, 2023 02:51 PM Amen and amen without the Trinity there is no salvation and we can all find it in the Old testament and New testament but here's some external sources to prove it too : Here are examples of what early Christian writers had to say on the subject of the Trinity: The Didache “After the foregoing instructions, baptize in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, in living [running] water. . . . If you have neither, pour water three times on the head, in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit” (Didache 7:1 [A.D. 70]). Ignatius of Antioch “[T]o the Church at Ephesus in Asia . . . chosen through true suffering by the will of the Father in Jesus Christ our God” (Letter to the Ephesians 1 [A.D. 110]). “For our God, Jesus Christ, was conceived by Mary in accord with God’s plan: of the seed of David, it is true, but also of the Holy Spirit” (ibid., 18:2). Justin Martyr “We will prove that we worship him reasonably; for we have learned that he is the Son of the true God himself, that he holds a second place, and the Spirit of prophecy a third. For this they accuse us of madness, saying that we attribute to a crucified man a place second to the unchangeable and eternal God, the Creator of all things; but they are ignorant of the mystery which lies therein” (First Apology 13:5–6 [A.D. 151]). Theophilus of Antioch “It is the attribute of God, of the most high and almighty and of the living God, not only to be everywhere, but also to see and hear all; for he can in no way be contained in a place. . . . The three days before the luminaries were created are types of the Trinity: God, his Word, and his Wisdom” (To Autolycus 2:15 [A.D. 181]). Post Reply

On the other hand, like Rush Limbaugh used to say, I’m “having more fun than a human being should be allowed to have...” refuting all your false claims‼️‼️😂🤣😀😇 BTW you still haven’t posted a single modern miracle that you claim is happening somewhere on earth. Why is that⁉️ When Jesus, the Apostles and Prophets performed miracles nearly everyone heard about and people were desperate to find these true healers Post Reply
