Does the Trinity make God a “God Of Confusion?”

The Bible tells us that God is not the author of confusion. God is not a God of confusion. And yet Christians maintain the Trinity is a Biblical doctrine. Latter-day Saints point out that Trinitarianism is confusing, and seemingly impossible for us to understand. Can the doctrine of the Trinity be Biblical despite the fact that no Christian can know HOW it works?

In this video, we explain why 1 Corinthians 14:33 doesn’t disprove Trinitarianism. The Trinity is a doctrine that, contrary to popular belief, was not invented after the writing of the New Testament. Though the word “Trinity” is not found in the Bible, its teachings are certainly Biblical.

The Bible teaches that:

There only ever has been, and ever will be, One Creator God
The Father is God, the Son is God, and the Holy Spirit is God
The Father ≠ The Son ≠ The Spirit

Many Latter-day Saints claim that because we cannot grasp the mechanics of how the Trinity functions, it cannot be true—God is no author of confusion after all! Yet this is simply not what Paul is talking about in 1 Corinthians 14. Additionally, there certainly ARE things that Christians just don’t know about God. While God has revealed Himself in Scripture, He has not exhaustively revealed Himself to us. There are things about God that He has not given for us to know—and this does not mean that He is the author of confusion! Rather—He is not human, and thus we should not expect to be able to know everything about Him.
