I am articulating this question very carefully, I am not interested in theological debates in this thread. This question is for specifically for people who agree with the Christian traditional teaching of Trinity:
There is no correct or incorrect answer, but personally, I would imagine that there would need to be Old Testament and New Testament verses. I wonder if it can be done with a small selection of verses.
What is the reason for this question? Honestly, general theological debates bore me. When it comes to theological matters, I've usually read all of the arguments from the various camps, subsequent discussion usually feels like a predictable play out of standard scripts that have occurred in the church for centuries. I am sure most of us are aware of the textual critical issues, the canonical issues, and the positions of various churches. What I am really interested is the result of deep reflection of the text itself.
What would be the minimum set of bible verses that you could provide a non-Christian, that, if you ask them to read and reflect upon those verses, the underlying concepts of trinity would be clear and obvious.
