In fact, the word trinity did not come into common use as a religious term until centuries after the last books of the Bible were completed and long after the apostles of Christ were gone from the scene! Could the trinity doctrine have pagan origins?
 
Another question is how can the "Spirit" be one of the three "persons" when the Bible speaks of God having 7 spirits? [https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Isaiah+11%3A2%2CRevelation+3%3A1%2CRevelation+4%3A5%2CRevelation+5%3A6&version=KJV Bible Gateway: 7 Spirits of God] Furthermore, how is a "Spirit" a Person, when the Bible clearly says "Spirit" not "Person"? Genesis 1:2 - "Spirit of God was hovering over the waters", people can't hover over water.
 
In this section we will cover some of the key verses that "trinitarians" claim as proof Jesus is God and we'll cover some of the verses that seem to contradict this claim. Additionally we'll try to discover how this doctrine may not have been original to the scriptures.
