Since the doctrine of the Trinity is attacked by many sects and distorted by many heresies, it is necessary to understand its meaning. Those who believe in the Trinity are called Trinitarians or Trinitarians. For Trinitarians, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit are not three gods, as many sects claim. It is important to remember the issue of the unity of God. Those who criticize the doctrine of the Trinity say that it has removed worship from the aspect of primitive monotheism. God is not divided into three parts, but rather three distinct persons, each of whom has the same power separately. However, the fact that there are three persons does not mean that there are three gods. The doctrine of the Trinity is poorly understood among Christian circles and, due to the complexity of the term, its study is abandoned. But we should not ignore its study. The word Trinity is used to express two different opinions. That is, it refers to the threefold manifestation of God, but also to his triune mode of existence. We must understand that these concepts can cause confusion when expressed in a single word. The difference in definition between them is so great that we will give each concept its own name.

This is the case of Hamartiology, Paracletology and Christology. However, their doctrines are widely taught. The word trinity means the triple manifestation of God or his manifestation in the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. The word triunity means the three modes of God's existence, that is, the existence of three in one. The reason for the doctrine of the Trinity is because God revealed himself as Father, as Son and as Holy Spirit. Theology asserts that the triunity of God became known because of the Trinity. If it were not for the threefold manifestation of God (Trinity), the triunity of God's existence would never have been revealed to men. There are three different and divine personalities in God, but equal in nature. However, there are not three gods: there is only one God. Despite this triune way in which God exists and reveals himself, the Old Testament emphasizes the unity of God. This is practical monotheism, the definition that God is one. The word unity is invariably reproduced in the Old Testament. In the midst of so many idolatrous nations, who worshiped several gods, it was necessary to persist in making the people of Israel venerate only one God. This fact motivated the Old Testament to emphasize the unity of God. The New Testament teaches that there are three divine Persons, distinct, eternal and equal, subsisting in a single essence. And also that God is a simple but threefold Trinity, in his way of existing and revealing himself. The doctrine of the Trinity is a historical doctrine, for this reason it is based on the threefold manifestation of God and on the occurrences expressed in the New Testament.
