Originally posted by MaustrauserWe deduce from scripture that Jesus is man and God - the doctrine of the Trinity is deduced from scripture. Taking the scriptures as your premise, the Trinity and other doctrines are formed as a consequence.
At the Council of Nicaea in 325AD the bishops agreed to make Jesus part of the Trinity. For further information see:
