Did Paul teach the doctrine of the Trinity?


Romans 1:1-22

Paul is preaching to the Romans that God has shown them who he is  through His manifestation as Jesus Christ (I Timothy 3:16). They had seen God’s power and Godhead. (Colossians 1:19, 2:8-10, I John 1:1-2). They knew God (Jesus Christ) but they didn’t honor nor glorify Jesus as God and they weren’t even thankful that they knew him.

Note: Their hearts were darkened because they didn’t believe that Jesus was God. Therefore, they lost their understanding of the mystery. They thought they were enlightened and had wisdom about who God is; but they became fools because of their unbelief.

Today, we have become vain in our own imaginations - thinking that God is more than one person through “The doctrine of the Trinity.” The doctrine of the Trinity is foreign to the three major religions, Judaism, Islam, and true Christianity. These major religions are strictly monotheistic, meaning God is absolutely one with no help from any other person. The doctrine of "the Trinity is a figment of man’s imagination" (Colossians 2:8-10). Study the origin of the “Trinity” in the Public Library. God never said he is three persons. God is absolutely one Person (Hebrews 1:3).

The Trinity was developed by Catholic men in 325AD. Paul and the apostles were dead when the Trinitarian doctrine was put together by the Catholic church (Colossians 2:8-9). Therefore, Paul nor the apostles never taught anything about a three person god.  Jews like Muslims are strictly monotheistic and have rejected the Trinity as heresy. And they are absolutely correct.  God is one.

Paul was appalled that anyone would teach any other doctrine other than what he taught the apostles (Galatians 1:8-9). Again, Paul nor the apostles taught anything about a Trinity or a three person god.  "A three person god is a figment of man's imagination".  "The Trinity is an assumption" that God is three persons. It's not in the Bible and God never said he is three persons.  God has spoken on more than one occasion that He is absolutely one God.  In summary, Paul didn't teach the doctrine of the Trinity and it's not in the Bible.
