Every time I hear a preacher or Bible teacher say “trinity” in the middle of a sentence, I want to ask some questions.
Did you consciously say “trinity”, on purpose, with a purpose ?
So, why did you say “trinity” ?
Did you ever stop to think about why you said “trinity” ?
What did saying “trinity” add to your message ?
What difference did it make to you when you said “trinity” ?
What difference did it make to your listeners when you said “trinity” ?
Do your listeners know what you mean when you say “trinity” ?
What if your listeners asked what you mean when you say “trinity” ?
Have you ever explained “trinity” when you said it ?
How many ways have people explained “trinity” ?
(over thirty million different attempts listed on the internet, and counting)

Who tells you to say “trinity” in your message ?
What if you did not say “trinity” ?
Would your listeners lose anything in their relationship with Jesus if you did not say “trinity” ?

I am so tempted to answer these questions, but some theologians need to think about “Why say ‘trinity?'”
