I am hereby bold enough to affirm that the scriptures NEVER use the word "God" to refer to the Trinity. Indeed, they never refer to the Trinity in any sense, unless, of course, you regard I John 5:7 as scripture. If so, please note the following:Mattrose wrote:True, it occurs more frequently in regards to the Trinity and the Father...
1. Out of the many hundreds of manuscripts which contain 1st John, there are only eight known Greek manuscripts which contain the passage.
2. Of the eight, four of them include it not as part of the text, but as a marginal note.
3. Seven of the eight date from the 15th to 18th centuries.
4. The other one is a variant reading of a 10th century manuscript.
5. During the Trinitarian controversies of the 4th and 5th centuries, no Greek father quoted the passage in support of Trinitarianism. Was that because it did not exist at that time?
If the passage were original, how can it be explained that it was absent from the many hundreds of early Greek manuscripts, and not present in even one of them?
So, I think the simple reason for that no scripture refers to the Trinity, is that there is no Trinity, and thus the writers never referred to one — for they held no such concept.
