Trinity 'Proof Texts' (Category)
(Also see: Holy Spirit 'Proof Texts)

Many who believe that Jesus is God or in the Trinity rely on a few selected, so-called 'proof-texts'. Trinity 'proof' texts are scriptures commonly used by defenders of the Trinity Doctrine as 'proof' (or at least 'evidence') of the validity of said Doctrine. For example, many Trinity apologists use the common translations of John 8:58 and Exodus 3:14 to 'prove' that Jesus is Jehovah God. (Also see: "What exactly is a 'proof text'?"; JWQ&A)
