Whilst not speaking for nPeace I would like to ask you if you know when the trinity doctrine was adopted by the Catholic Church? It appears as if this doctrine was not part of original Christian teaching and the Catholic Church admits it.
The New Catholic Encyclopedia states: “The formulation ‘one God in three Persons’ was not solidly established, certainly not fully assimilated into Christian life and its profession of faith, prior to the end of the 4th century. But it is precisely this formulation that has first claim to the title the Trinitarian dogma. Among the Apostolic Fathers, there had been nothing even remotely approaching such a mentality or perspective.”—(1967), Vol. XIV, p. 299.
So, not "fully assimilated" into church doctrine until the end of the 4th century....that is over 350 years after Jesus died.
So where did this idea come from? Would it surprise you to know that non-Christian religions have had trinities of gods for hundreds of years before Christ, and that the concept goes back to ancient Babylon?

According to the Athanasian Creed, there are three divine Persons (the Father, the Son, the Holy Ghost), each said to be eternal, each said to be almighty, none greater or less than another, each said to be God, and yet together being but one God. It is difficult to have three separate persons who can apparently be in three different places at once and can express different wills, to be considered one God. There is no way to explain the trinity scripturally as there is no direct statement from either God or Jesus that they share any equality.
If you consider all the scriptures that relate to Jesus' relationship to his God and Father, you will see that there is not even a twosome, let alone a threesome.
Even at John 1:18 it states that
"no man has seen God at any time", which if Jesus was God makes that a lie.
At John 17:3 Jesus calls his Father
"the only true God" and speaks of himself as the one "sent" by him.
There are so many other scriptures that prove that the trinity is false, but people have been indoctrinated with this belief for so long that it is too ingrained in many to be shifted.
There is only one truth and we mustn't settle for anything less. We have an enemy who plated seeds of false Christianity very early in Christian history. (Matthew 13:24-30; 36-42) It was foretold that this would happen so we shouldn't be surprised that false ideas crept in and men followed other men down many different paths of interpretation. Today we have literally thousands of sects and denominations all claiming to be the truth.....so how do we know the truth from the lies? We examine each teaching to see if it agrees with scripture...all of it, not just some random verses.
We ask questions and then evaluate the answers and ask God to help unravel the mystery for us.....or to expose it as a lie so that we can discard it.
Did you ever realize that putting Jesus in equal place with the father is actually blasphemy? It is a breach of the first commandment. (Exodus 20:3) Please do not dismiss this without thorough investigation.
