50 Bible Questions About the Trinity

1. Where are the words ‘trinity’, ‘triune’, ‘triunity’ or the like in the Bible?

2. Can we find ‘God the Son’ in the Bible?

3. Can we find ‘God the Spirit’ in the Bible?

4. Where is the term ‘co-eternal’ in the Bible?

5. Where is the term ‘co-equal’ in the Bible?

6. If the salient words or phrases of the trinity are not found in the Bible, where did this idea come
from?

7. In an Old Testament prophecy of Jesus Christ in the Bible, when it refers to the “counsel of peace”
which is “between them both,” who are the both? If it was God the Father and His Son, where was
the Spirit?

8. If Proverbs 8:22-30 relates to “wisdom” as being “brought forth” and “as one brought up with” God,
and then the prophet Paul refers to Christ as “wisdom” in 1 Corinthians 1:24 and 30, is there a
prophets` inspired authority to make that connection?
1 Cor.1:24 “But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and
the wisdom of God.”
1 Cor.1:30 “But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and
righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:”

9. Who is the most high? (Find out from a demon in Mark 5:7.)
Mk.5:7 “And cried with a loud voice, and said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of the
most high God? I adjure thee by God, that thou torment me not.”

10. Lucifer wanted to be “like the most high,” according to Isaiah 14:12-15, so who is “like the most
high?” (Find out from Hebrews 1:1-3 who was the “express image of” God, the most high.)
Is.14:12-15 “How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut
down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! 
13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the
stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: 
14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. 
15 Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.”
Heb. 1:1-3 “God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers
by the prophets, 
2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by
whom also he made the worlds; 
3 Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all
things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right
hand of the Majesty on high;”

11. Why was Lucifer envious of the Son of God and not of God the Father? Was there a difference?
(See Christ’s answer at the end of John 14:28.)
John 14:28 “Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved

Page 1 of 7
 me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I.”

12. Where is an example or reference in the Bible where it says it is metaphorical, symbolic, an
illustration, or to be understood as an analogy that God is His Son’s actual Father?

13. If the trinity’s ‘God the Spirit’ makes intercession for humans in Romans 8:26, how can Paul say
that there is only one mediator between God and men? (See 1 Timothy 2:5 to see how many
intercessors there are, and who the intercessor is. Then read Romans 8:34 to see who makes
intercession in the greater context of Romans 8:26.)
Rom. 8:26 “Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray
for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be
uttered. 
1 Tim. 2:5 “For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ
Jesus;” 
Rom. 8:34 “Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who
is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.”

14. How many ways are there to the Father? (See John 14:6 for the answer given by Jesus.)
John 14:6 “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the
Father, but by me.”

15. Did God first send His Son into the world and then did God send someone else after the
ascension? (Notice Galatians 4:4 and 6 for the answer.)
Gal. 4:4 “But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman,
made under the law,”
Gal 4:6 “And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts,
crying, Abba, Father.”

16. If it was ‘God the Spirit’ that placed the holy seed in the virgin Mary, then does Christ have two
Fathers? God the Father and ‘God the Spirit’? (Notice that the Bible says what came upon Mary in
Luke 1:35, it was “the power of the Highest…”. Again, consider 1 Corinthians 1:24).
Lk.1:35 “And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and
the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born
of thee shall be called the Son of God. 
1 Cor.1:24 “But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and
the wisdom of God.”

17. When Christ was baptized and the “Spirit of God” came down upon Him in the form of a dove,
should we take that to be literal? Is ‘God the Spirit’ actually a bird? See Romans 1:20-23.
Rom.1:20-23 “For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being
understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are
without excuse:”
21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but
became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. 
22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, 
23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man,
and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.”

18. In Genesis 28:11-13 and John 1:51 a ladder is referred to which Christ said symbolized Himself.
What do we see as non-symbolic ascending and descending on the ladder and or Christ in both
Scripture references?

Page 2 of 7
 Gen. 28:11-13 “And he lighted upon a certain place, and tarried there all night, because the sun
was set; and he took of the stones of that place, and put them for his pillows, and lay down in that
place to sleep.
12 And he dreamed, and behold a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven:
and behold the angels of God ascending and descending on it. 
13 And, behold, the LORD stood above it, and said, I am the LORD God of Abraham thy father,
and the God of Isaac: the land whereon thou liest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed; 
John 1:51 “And he saith unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Hereafter ye shall see heaven
open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.”

19. If God is made up of three beings, why was Adam and Eve created in God’s image as two beings
instead of three? (See Genesis 1:26-27.) Would this mean that in verse 26 God was speaking to
one other being, rather than two other beings?
Gen.1:26,27 “And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have
dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the
earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. 
27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female
created he them.”

20. How could Christ have always been omnipotent (all powerful) when saying that all power was
“given” unto Him? (See Matthew 28:18.)
Mat.28:18 “And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven
and in earth.”

21. If Christ was always omniscient (knowing everything) how could the Bible say He “increased in
wisdom” in Luke 2:52 and learned obedience in Hebrews 5:8?
Lk.2:52 “And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.”
Heb.5:8 “Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered;”

22. How could Christ have always been omnipresent (everywhere present) when He said that He
needed to go away to send the Spirit? (See John 16:7.)
Jn.16:7 “Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away,
the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.”

23. Wait a minute! Wasn’t the Spirit always here already? (Notice what Jesus had previously said in
John 7:38-39.)
Jn.7:38,39 “He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of
living water. 
39 (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy
Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)”

24. Is there a need to study a bit more to find out what was really going on in Genesis 1:2? See Psalm
33:6-9. 
Gen.1:2 “And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep.
And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. 
Ps.36:6-9 “Thy righteousness is like the great mountains; thy judgments are a great deep: O
LORD, thou preservest man and beast. 
7 How excellent is thy lovingkindness, O God! therefore the children of men put their trust under
the shadow of thy wings. 
8 They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of thy house; and thou shalt make them drink

Page 3 of 7
 of the river of thy pleasures. 
9 For with thee is the fountain of life: in thy light shall we see light.”

25. Are there any examples in the Bible where the “Spirit of God” is worshipped? (See who is
worshipped by all in Revelation 5:11-14.)
Rev.5:11-14 “And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the
beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and
thousands of thousands; 
12 Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and
wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing. 
13 And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are
in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power,
be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever. 
14 And the four beasts said, Amen. And the four and twenty elders fell down and worshipped him
that liveth for ever and ever.”

26. When Nebuchadnezzar’s “spirit was troubled,” is the Bible referring to someone other than
Nebuchadnezzar himself? So, in the creation story, is the “Spirit of God” referring to someone
other than God Himself?

27. What did Christ mean when He said that the Father is “the only true God”? (See John 17:3.
Consider Hebrews 8:2.)
Jn.17:3 “And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ,
whom thou hast sent.” 
Heb.8:2 “A minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not
man.”

28. What did Paul mean when he said the Father is the “one God and Father of all”? (See Ephesians
4:6.)

29. What did Paul mean when he said, “to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things,
and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ”? 1 Corinthians 8:6
1 Cor.8:6 “But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and
one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him.”

30. What did Paul mean when he said, “there is one God, and one mediator”? 1 Timothy 2:5
1 Tim.2:5 “For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;”

31. What did James mean when he said, “Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the
devils also believe, and tremble?” James 2:19
Jas.2:19 “Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and
tremble.”

32. Why does the Bible show God the Father and His Son on a throne while there is no place on the
throne for the Spirit? (This is the same idea as on the table of shewbread in the sanctuary, see
Leviticus 24:5-6.)
Lev.24:5,6 “And thou shalt take fine flour, and bake twelve cakes thereof: two tenth deals shall be
in one cake. 
6 And thou shalt set them in two rows, six on a row, upon the pure table before the LORD.”

(John 14:10)

unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.”

35. Whose mind was in Christ? (See Philippians 2:5.)

36. Did Jesus really say, “I will come to you,” in John 14:18 while explaining that the “Comforter”
would be sent from the Father? (Again, see Galatians 4:4 and 6.)
Jn.14:18 “I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.”
Gal.4:4,6 “But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman,
made under the law,”
6 And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying,
Abba, Father.”

37. Did Judas, not Iscariot, know who Christ was referring to while speaking of the coming Comforter?
(See John 14:22.)
Jn.14:22 “Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us,
and not unto the world?”

38. The Greek word for “Comforter” occurs only five times in the New Testament, each time used by
John. What is the name given by John to the “Comforter” or “Advocate” in the last time it is used in
1 John 2:1?
1 Jn.2:1 “My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we
have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:”

39. Was it really an angel that gave prophecy to Daniel in chapters 8-12?

40. How is it that Revelation 1:1 explains the Father giving His Son the gospel, who gave it to an
angel, which gave it to John? Where was the Spirit?
Rev.1:1 “The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants
things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant
John:”

41. Is it really that clear in Revelation 19:10 that angels “have the testimony of Jesus” which is “the
Spirit of prophecy”?

42. Is it really true in Revelation 22:9 that angels are “of thy brethren the prophets”?

43. Was God lying when He said, “This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased”? (Matthew
3:17)

44. Was God lying when He repeated the same sentiments in Matthew 17:5?
Mat.17:5 “While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out
of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.”

Page 5 of 7
45. Who did Christ call His God? (See John 20:17, Revelation 3:12.)
Jn.20:17 “Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to

him my new name.”

46. What very important being did God the Father recognize Himself to be the God of? (See Hebrews
1:8-9.)
Heb.1:8,9 “But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of
righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom. 
9 Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed
thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.”

47. Is it really antichrist to deny the Father and His Son? (See 1 John 2:22-23)
1 Jn.2:22 “Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth
the Father and the Son.
23 Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: (but) he that acknowledgeth the
Son hath the Father also.”

48. When Jesus asked who men thought He was, what was Peter’s answer, and who revealed that to
Peter? (See Matthew 16:13-17.)
Mat.16:13-17 “When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples,
saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am? 
14 And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or
one of the prophets.
15 He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? 
16 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. 
17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood

said, Brother Saul, the Lord, even Jesus, that appeared unto thee in the way as thou camest, hath
sent me, that thou mightest receive thy sight, and be filled with the Holy Ghost. 
18 And immediately there fell from his eyes as it had been scales: and he received sight forthwith,
and arose, and was baptized. 
19 And when he had received meat, he was strengthened. Then was Saul certain days with the
disciples which were at Damascus.

50. What was the purpose of John’s gospel? (See John 20:31.)
