Trinity is not in the bible either. But we use it and essence to communicate truth in a way people can understand.
I understand that, Brother.
But when those who disagree with our viewpoint and use Scripture to prove their point, we need to be able to use Scripture to prove the word "trinity," and "same essence."
And, we can do that!
EXPRESS IMAGE = SAME ESSENCE:
Hebrews 1:3
From the Greek:
3 ὃς ὢν ἀπαύγασμα τῆς δόξης καὶ χαρακτὴρ τῆς ὑποστάσεως αὐτοῦ, φέρων τε τὰ πάντα τῷ ῥήματι τῆς δυνάμεως αὐτοῦ, καθαρισμὸν τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν ποιησάμενος ἐκάθισεν ἐν δεξιᾷ τῆς μεγαλωσύνης ἐν ὑψηλοῖς,
3 Who, being the Effulgence of His glory and Express Image of His assumption, besides carrying on all by His powerful declaration, making a cleansing of sins, is seated at the right hand of the Majesty in the heights;"
The Trinity could be explained as the Godhead.
Unfortunately though, Godhead is neither found in the Hebrew/Aramaic/Greek, but DIVINITY is found.
This is why I claim, the Holy Spirit inspired what we are to use. If it is not found in the Hebrew/Aramaic/Greek, then God did not want it to be used.
