I understand your confusion. Trinity is and always was a Roman Catholic false doctrine. "Trinitos" (or Trinity) was the brain child and formulation of Tertullian around 200 AD, and was officially adopted by the Roman Catholic Church about a century after that.
Meaning that the New Testament Church never taught it. Trinity came almost 200 years AFTER the New Testament Church. Another deception that Apostle Paul warned about.

Since you put GOD in all capitals I would assume you speak of the Creator Yahu'eh the Eloihm that created all things by his Word and only visible manifastation.
I do not believe the Trinity which is borrowed from Babylon through the mystical Jewish Kabbalah with the three pillars of Nimrod/Baal, Semiramis/Astoroth, and Tammuz i.e. Father Mother/Holy Spirit (feminine), and Son.
I am a concurrent modalistic monarchian who believes that Yahu'shua the Son of Eloah is the very visible manifestation of the Spirit or Breath of the Creator, Yahu'eh from before creation. Yahu'shua it is recorded in Yachanon/John chapter 4 said "Eloah is a Spirit". The Apostles taught that Yahu'shua was the image of the invisible Eloah in Colossians ch. 1 and Hebrews ch. 1. Because the invisible Spirit or Breath created this image he is thus the Father of this visible image the Son. When the Breath of Yahu'eh breathes into us it is clean breath or spirit while all other invisible beings that try to inhabit the human body are unclan breath or spirit(s).

Well the trinity is very confusing. It is all God. There is just 3 parts. God the Father, God the Son (Jesus) and God the holy ghost. God the Father is usually who we refer to as God. God the Son is Jesus who came to earth as a human and died as the ultimate sacrifice for everyone so that their sins may be forgiven and they may have eternal life in heaven. The holy ghost or holy spirit is what jesus left on earth after he ascended into heaven. It convinces us of our sins and guides us too. All 3 parts are the same God. I have heard it described as an egg. You know you have the yolk, the white, and the shell but it is still all one egg. I would suggest talking to someone in person about this so that an actually conversation can take place and you can ask questions and they can make sure you understand.

I guess it could be, if that is how some wish to view it. But it does put a crimp in the whole Monotheistic religion thing. Though, I do see how they view it, as many Pagan cultures had triune Gods and Goddess'. Some were actually 3 different deities joining powers, while others, such as the modern version of the Goddess, is actually 3 stages of existance. Maiden/Mother/Crone. But I still don't know how they can claim to be Monotheistic when they can't accept a Pagan who would believe in the same view... 3 stages/1deity. *Shrug* Silly people.

Yes. As I point out in my recent book, "Holy Arithmetic," the 3 are 1, and, of course, vice versa. Many people think that ordinary numbers apply to things celestial. They are wrong! For example, we all know that the "days" in Genesis have evolved ...no ... scratch that word .... have been revealed lately to mean any number we want in order for it not to be too silly. (I believe the latest calculation is that a Genesis day is about 2 billion years.)
So again, the answer is yes. By the way, in my book I also prove the mathematics behind the miracle of the 5 fish and the 5 loaves. I acknowledge the assistance of several Enron accountants in this seminal work of true math.

What is the origin of the Trinity doctrine?
The New Encyclopædia Britannica says: “Neither the word Trinity, nor the explicit doctrine as such, appears in the New Testament, nor did Jesus and his followers intend to contradict the Shema in the Old Testament: ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord’ (Deut. 6:4). . . . The doctrine developed gradually over several centuries and through many controversies. . . . By the end of the 4th century . . . the doctrine of the Trinity took substantially the form it has maintained ever since.”—(1976), Micropædia, Vol. X, p. 126.
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.
In The Encyclopedia Americana we read: “Christianity derived from Judaism and Judaism was strictly Unitarian [believing that God is one person]. The road which led from Jerusalem to Nicea was scarcely a straight one. Fourth century Trinitarianism did not reflect accurately early Christian teaching regarding the nature of God; it was, on the contrary, a deviation from this teaching.”—(1956), Vol. XXVII, p. 294L.
According to the Nouveau Dictionnaire Universel, “The Platonic trinity, itself merely a rearrangement of older trinities dating back to earlier peoples, appears to be the rational philosophic trinity of attributes that gave birth to the three hypostases or divine persons taught by the Christian churches. . . . This Greek philosopher’s [Plato, fourth century B.C.E.] conception of the divine trinity . . . can be found in all the ancient [pagan] religions.”—(Paris, 1865-1870), edited by M. Lachâtre, Vol. 2, p. 1467.
John L. McKenzie, S.J., in his Dictionary of the Bible, says: “The trinity of persons within the unity of nature is defined in terms of ‘person’ and ‘nature’ which are G[ree]k philosophical terms; actually the terms do not appear in the Bible. The trinitarian definitions arose as the result of long controversies in which these terms and others such as ‘essence’ and ‘substance’ were erroneously applied to God by some theologians.”—(New York, 1965), p. 899.
2004 Encarta Encyclopedia.
Trinity (theology), in Christian theology, doctrine that God exists as three persons-Father, Son, and Holy Spirit-who are united in one substance or being. The doctrine is not taught explicitly in the New Testament, where the word god almost invariably refers to the Father; but already Jesus Christ, the Son, is seen as standing in a unique relation to the Father, while the Holy Spirit is alos emerging as a distinct devine person.
Trinity
Encyclopædia Britannica Article
in Christian doctrine, the unity of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit as three persons in one Godhead.
Neither the word Trinity nor the explicit doctrine appears in the New Testament, nor did Jesus and his followers intend to contradict the Shema in the Old Testament: “Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord” (Deuteronomy 6:4).

The Trinity is God, made of of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, three persons acting as one, that is, they always agree on everything. When referring to God you are referring to the Trinity.

The Holy Trinity is a representation of the christian God - Elohim. However, since God is an ambiguous term, the Holy Trinity does not represent the God of Hinduism - Brahma, or any other assumed deity.
