The word Trinity isn’t used in the Bible. Where did the original teaching of the Trinity come from? God Bless

The teaching comes from the New Testament! Episodes such as the Baptism of the Lord, and the transfiguration reveal the Trinity quite clearly. However, you are correct that the word ’ Trinity’ isn’t employed. This came later as a sort of theological ‘shorthand’ that allows complex ideas to be referred to in simple terms. I suggest you type Tertullian into a search engine, then move on to Augustine.

IT DOES come from the Bible
[BIBLEDRB]John 1:1[/BIBLEDRB]
[BIBLEDRB]John 8:58[/BIBLEDRB]
Ironically, the word “Bible” isn’t in the Bible.

Don’t forget Jesus telling the apostles to make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name (not names) of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
But yes, the word “Trinity” and the classic ways of explaining the Trinity come from the Church Fathers and other ecclesiastical writers like Tertullian, and have been endorsed by the Magisterium of the Church. We are blessed to have an infallible teaching authority to guide us in how we interpret the Bible, and Christianity in general. Without that we would be quite lost and could fall into any number of errors inadvertently, especially on matters like the relationship between God the Father, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit, which is obviously extremely important but not clearly and explicitly laid out in the Bible.

Someguy14 makes an excellent post.
I’d add to it by pointing out how Peter the Pope alludes to the Trinity in his greeting to the exiles in dispersion in his first letter.
Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, To the exiles of the Dispersion in Pontus, Galatia, Cappado’cia, Asia, and Bithyn’ia, chosen and destined by God the Father and sanctified by the Spirit for obedience to Jesus Christ and for sprinkling with his blood: May grace and peace be multiplied to you. (1 Peter 1:1-2)
Desitined by God the Father…
Sanctified by the Spirit…
Obedient to Jesus…
Father, Son and Holy Spirit…
The acorn is there, even if the oak tree has not grown yet.
