THE ADVENT TRUTH
August 31st
Many people today claim the Trinity was invented by the Catholic Church and inserted into Matthew 28:19. But history and Scripture prove otherwise. The earliest manuscripts of Matthew include the full verse: “baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.”
When the book of Acts says believers were baptized “in the name of Jesus Christ” (Acts 2:38), it’s not a contradiction. It’s about authority. Just like we pray “in Jesus’ name” but still pray to the Father by the Spirit, baptism “in the name of Jesus” points back to the one who commanded baptism in the triune name.
And the Trinity is not Catholic—it’s biblical. Genesis 1:26 says, “Let Us make man in Our image.” At Jesus’ baptism, the Father speaks from heaven, the Son is in the water, and the Spirit descends like a dove (Matthew 3:16-17). That’s not man-made—that’s the living Word of God.
The Seventh-day Adventist Church did not “adopt” the Trinity in 1980. That year was simply a reaffirmation of what Scripture has always taught and what Adventists had already believed: the one true God is Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—three eternal Persons working in perfect unity to save humanity.
And far from breaking the Sabbath, the Trinity magnifies it. The Sabbath commandment celebrates the Creator—and creation was the work of the Father, through the Son, by the Spirit. The Sabbath points us to the Godhead who made us, redeemed us, and will one day restore us.
Revelation warns against idolatry, but the Trinity is no idol—it is the eternal reality of the God who is love.
