The father, the son and the holy spirit.

Here is what Wikipedia says:

Within Christianity, the doctrine of the Trinity states that God is a single Being who exists, simultaneously and eternally, as a perichoresis of three persons (personae, prosopa): Father (the Source, the Eternal Majesty); the Son (the eternal Logos or Word, incarnate as Jesus of Nazareth); and the Holy Spirit (the Paraclete or advocate). Since the 4th Century AD, in both Eastern and Western Christianity, this doctrine has been stated as "One God in Three Persons," all three of whom, as distinct and co-eternal "persons" or "hypostases," share a single Divine essence, being, or nature.

The Holy Trinity consists of three Divine Beings that share a common nature.

First, you have God the Father. Simple enough.

Then, you have Jesus the Christ who is BEGOTTEN not made, from the Father. If Jesus was 'made' he would have his own nature, and thus, not be the son of God and obviously not part of the trinity. Since Since Jesus was "Begotten, not made", Jesus shares the same nature the Father.

The Holy Spirit "proceeds" from the Father and the Son. If the Holy Spirit proceeded from one, but not the other, it would become obvious that there is more than one nature at work here. But since the Father and the Son share the same nature, the Holy Spirit MUST proceed from both the Father and the Son if it is to inherit the same nature as well.

God is 3 natures in 1 Divine Being. He is the Creator, Loving Father, 1st person of the Blessed Trinity, then He is Jesus Christ, the Eternal Word, incarnate in the Son, 2nd person of the Blessed Trinity and He is the Holy Spirit, paraclete, the 3rd person of the Blessed Trinity. The 3 natures cannot be separated and where one is present, there are also the other two. They are one God.

Trinity is "A three-fold personality existing in one divine being or substance, the union in one God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit as three infinite co-equal, co-eternal persons as; one God in three persons.

The trinity concept came from PAGANISM-(paganism means no religious beliefs); here are a few sites that will tell you:

There are 3 that protestants claim about the trinity; they're JOHN 14 & 15 and 1JOHN 5:7. To start out 1JOHN 5:7 was never in any of the inspired Greek manuscripts; so this knocks out one. As for John 14 & 15; the Greek word for "helper" is paracletos; one who helps inwhich points to the Holy spirit. In Greek, the word "He" is neuter such as "hand" is feminine whether it is a woman's hand or male's hand. As for the word "paracletos" it is masculine and always require a masculine pronoun. This however doesn't prove personhood as you've noticed.
But as you've noticed, these texts don't prove Jesus is God or the Holy Spirit.

I don't believe in the TRINITY! The Bible texts that I'm going to mention contradict the Trinity teaching.
MATT.12:32 "AND WHOSOEVER SPEAKETH A WORD AGAINST THE SON OF MAN, IT SHALL BE FORGIVEN HIM: BUT WHOSOEVER SPEAKETH AGAINST THE HOLY GHOST, IT SHALL NOT BE FORGIVEN HIM, NEITHER IN THIS WORLD, NEITHER IN THE WORLD TO COME."
JOHN 14:28 "IF YE LOVED ME, YE WOULD REJOICE, BECAUSE I SAID , I GO UNTO THE FATHER: FOR MY FATHER IS GREATER THAN I."
1COR.11:3 "BUT I WOULD HAVE YOU KNOW THAT THE HEAD OF EVERY MAN IS CHRIST; & THE HEAD OF THE WOMAN IS THE MAN; AND THE HEAD OF CHRIST IS GOD."
LUKE 18:19 "AND JESUS SAID UNTO HIM, WHY CALLEST THOU ME GOOD? NONE IS GOOD, SAVE ONE, THAT IS, GOD."
****SEVERAL OTHER TEXTS SAY THERE'S ONLY TWO PERSONS:
1COR.1:3; 8:6; 1TIM.1:2; 2:5; GAL.1:3; PHILIPP.1:2; ROM.1:7; 2COR.1:2-3; 1THESS.1:1; 2THESS.1:2; 2TIM.1:2; PHILEMON 1:3; 1PETER 1:3; 2PETER 1:2; 1JOHN 1:3; 2JOHN 1:3.

Also why I don't believe in the TRINITY is because it says in the KJV that the false church will cast all the truth to the ground (Daniel 8:12). I happen to know this false church because all the world(Matt.7:13) has followed it (Rev.12:9; 13:3,12) except for one church (Acts 20:28).

Jesus is only a human he said that, but Saul made him God.
Paul himself admits that he at first persecuted Christians to the death (Philippians 3:6), but later embraced the belief that he had fought against.
Jefferson once wrote that, “Paul was the first corrupter of the teachings of Jesus.”
Just as Judas was indwelled by Satan to betray Jesus, Paul was indwelled by Satan to destroy Christianity! Paul taught ANOTHER Gospel! Why else did Constantine and the Pagan leaders take out the books of the disciples and put in Paul's! To lead YOU away from the truth and into a FALSE Gospel!

The Maiden, the Mother and the Crone, following the cycles of the moon from waxing (young girl/woman) to full/waning (mother) to new (crone). It represents the phases of a woman's life and the different things a woman goes through at these phases.

The Holy Trinity is a mystery.

I do believe in the trinity. The Father is in heaven, Jesus was on earth, and died on the cross for all of us. The Holy spirit is an entity who watches over us

Its explanation is thus: it is a myth created by men who do not know God or the Word of God.

Jesus said that his Father is "greater than he" (John 14:28); therefore, they cannot be the same being. And he showed that he and his Father have a different will (Luke 22:42); therefore, they are not of the same 'essence'.

"...I [Jesus] go unto the Father: for the Father is greater than I." (John 14:28)

Jesus said, "Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done." (Luke 22:42)

And God the Father will be the father of MANY sons:
"For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God." (Romans 8:14)
"For it became Him, for whom are all things and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons into glory, to perfect the Captain of their salvation through sufferings." (Hebrews 2:10)

One plus many does not equal three!

God has many names and many roles or Godhead.

God used the term only begotten son, so we could understand the love of this act to give His only begotten son.

For example, idolatry is like harlotry or whoredom. His love for us is like love of a wife. If we have other gods it's like a wife that plays the harlot.

It's God's way of showing His love by using examples we can relate to like only begotten son or wife.
