Introduction
The trinity doctrine as is believed by the Seventh Day Adventist Church and the majority of theChristian community has been a subject of discussion for a long time and will continue to beunder discussion until Christ comes. This write up is yet another attempt to try and drawattention to this very important subject. It is important for us to know the God we worship andhow we can serve him better.Though God is past finding out, he has revealed himself through / in his Son. Although God isa mystery, he is not that kind of a mystery we do not know nothing about, but a mystery we donot know everything about. The word mystery is often confused with something puzzling,difficult or hard to understand yet it only means something secret, hidden or not fully revealed.God is not difficult or hard to understand because he has revealed himself to his creation, buthe has not fully revealed himself. There is a lot more about him which he has not revealed tomankind. That which God has made known to man about himself is not hard to understandbut that which he has not revealed about himself is a mystery and will remain so until hedecides to reveal it. To try and understand God more than he has revealed himself isblasphemous and to try and ignore or twist that which he has revealed about himself is alsoblasphemous. lt is therefore safe to stick only to that which has been revealed, nothing moreand nothing less. God is understood only to the extent to which He has revealed Himself.

And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ,whom thou hast sent.

 Some of the arguments that have been presented against the Trinity are that:
·
The Seventh Day Adventist Churchs pioneers including Ellen White were not Trinitarian
·
the trinity was formulated at the catholic ecumenical council of Nicaea in AD 325.
·
only after the death of Ellen White was the trinity introduced in the churchThe responses to these arguments in favour of the trinity is that
·
The pioneers indeed were not Trinitarian at first but they later changed and becameTrinitarian as more light came their way
·
The majority of the 318 priests who attended Nicea where the doctrine was formulatedwere not corrupt
·
Ellen White wrote some articles in support of the trinity.The fact that the pioneers rejected the trinity does not in any way prove that it is wrong, and onthe other hand the fact that some of the later leaders accepted it is not evidence that it iscorrect.
