Father Son and Holy Ghost ..God made the flesh of man then he breathed in his spirit then the two became a living soul...created in the image of God. read John 1. The bible you have is just fine and there are more examples of this in the bible.

No it does not refer to a trinity, a concept that was formulated for christianity outside the first century.
It has to do with the Hebrew language and the word used for God, Elohim, which is a masculine plural noun, however, that does not mean there is a plurality of persons in the godhead as the word is used to denote single entities.
I am not a fan of giving links, but this is a link to an aartical that can explain it in greater detail.

This is one of the verses in the Bible that refers to the doctrine of the Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

In Gospel of John it says, in the begining was word, the word was with God and the word was God. It is the Triune God. For Christian, we call it God in 3 person, the Trinity God.

You got it backwards. Man created god in man's own image. That's why every culture's god looks just like them. The Chinese god looks Chinese, the African gods look African, Indfian gods look Indian, the European god is white, etc.

The word "God" is actually plural. Father, Son, and Holy spirit, all in one God.
