From the outset we need to consider the central person of the Bible: God. By “God,” trinitarians mean “the Trinity”—a God consisting of three persons who share one “substance”. But neither the concept of a divine substance (which originated from Greek thinking and polytheistic faiths) nor that of a tripartite God whose three persons share one substance, exists in the Bible. The one and only God of the Bible is called “Yahweh,” a name that occurs some 7,000 times in the Scriptures. In striking contrast to this, the trinitarian God has no name at all! Even if some trinitarians equate Yahweh with God the Father, the fact remains that this “God the Father” is only one of three persons in the trinitarian “God”.
