Bible neither proves nor explains “Trinity”. But there is a witness to Trinity in every page of the Bible.
Christians, I believe, are not called to prove, or defend, “Trinity” but to promote a “Trinitarian Model” of living both in their personal and communal aspects of life! Christians proclaim and celebrate “Trinity” to spontaneously and constantly evolve a “Trinitarian community”. Hence, transforming the communities into a “Trinitarian shape” should be the chief concern of all those who belong to church communities!
In the “godhead”, portrayed in the Bible, there is perfect agreement. The “wills” of the three persons – Father, Son and the Holy Spirit – do not conflict. Jesus’ will perfectly coincided with the “will of the Father”, and therefore, Jesus could say, “The Father and I are the same, or, “If you have seen me then you have seen the Father”. Furthermore, in the Bible, Father, Son and the Holy Spirit of “Trinity” do not compete with one another for “control” but rather “co-operate and submit to one another” in harmonious unity!
When human lives are moulded into such a “shape” then there is an authentic proclamation, celebration and true worship of “Trinity”. When people gather together, breaking down the walls in between, and erase boundaries to move together towards a new horizon, then there is a human movement towards that “Trinitarian Community”.
