The Case for Echad: the Trinity or One

Many Christians are not aware of the fact that the doctrine of the Trinity is not scriptural and the word ?Trinity? is not found anywhere in the pages of Scripture. This doctrine proved highly contentious in the early Church and was only accepted as cannon of belief through the political maneuvering and might of the Roman Empire. It is today a central belief of both the Catholic and Protestant faith but not without its continued challengers. Support for its construction comes primarily from Renewed Covenant Scriptures of which has been misconstrued and misapplied to support its belief. It is certainly not a Hebrew construction. This doctrine was widely rejected by the early followers of Yeshua (Nazarenes) who were all essentially monotheistic, believing in the Echadness (oneness) of YHWH.
