People often ask if the Bible teaches the doctrine of the Trinity OR is it a later development. But what if it's both?

In this video, I lay out a basic case for how we can find the component parts of trinitarian doctrine in Scripture while also arguing that a fully mature trinitarian theology requires development. And that's ok!
