Rule for Enhanced Defence Family Pension w.e.f. 01 October 2019 eased

Matthew 28:19 - Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit... was added after 380 CE or later (Refer Eusebius 325 CE, and then Epiphanius 374 CE). The word "Trinity" does not occur in the  Greek NT. All shadows of Trinitarian aspects were added after 350 CE. It is said that the Latin term was first used by Tertullian (155-200 CE). Prophet Muhammad vehemently opposed the Trinity doctrine. It obliquely suggests that Christian God has no name and Father god can not be identified with Elohim. Again this doctrine never explains another Christine doctrine of Incarnation.DATED: 05 OCT 2020
