None of them have. Like the Trinity was invented at the first ecumenical council of Nicaea over 300 years after the stories of the gospels. The word and concept have no biblical basis whatsoever. So even back before the biblical canon was finalized they weren't reading it and made it up as they went.
This is nitpicking, but it was not so much invented as formally agreed upon as the true canon, the true theology.
Many prominent Christians of the time and in the hundreds of years prior developed all kinds of alternatives to the Trinity.
They were just formally made heretics at that point.
And thats not even starting to get into the myriad of 'Gnostic' groups with sometimes radically different books and theologies.
