or:These were refered to only as a \"council\" names were not mentioned .In 325\u00a0C.E., a council of bishops in Nicea in Asia Minor formulated a creed that declared the Son of God to be \u201ctrue God\u201d just as the Father was \u201ctrue God.\u201d Part of that creed statedIn the year 381\u00a0C.E., another council met in Constantinople and declared that the holy spirit should be worshiped and glorified just as the Father and Son were. One year later, in 382\u00a0C.E., another synod met in Constantinople and affirmed the full divinity of the holy spirit. That same year, before a council in Rome, Pope Damasus presented a collection of teachings to be condemned by the church. The document, called the Tome of Damasus, included the following statements:\u201cIf anyone denies that the Father is eternal, that the Son is eternal, and that the Holy Spirit is eternal: he is a heretic.\u201d\u201cIf anyone, while saying that the Father is God and the Son is God and the Holy Spirit is God, .\u00a0.\u00a0. does not say that they are one God, .\u00a0.\u00a0. he is a heretic.\u201d5These are some statements that began \"Trinity\" doctrine. With this better understanding of the term \u201cTrinity,\u201d we can now ask: Was it a teaching of Jesus and his disciples? If so, it should have appeared fully formed in the first century of our Common Era. And since what they taught is found in the Bible, then the Trinity doctrine is either a Bible teaching or it is not. If it is, it should be clearly taught in the Bible.For more information on this subject and others, please go to the source jw.org official website \"Online Library.\" Also for free downloads or read online.
