Jesus mentioned at Mark 13:32 concerning Armageddon: Concerning that day or the hour nobody knows, neither the angels in heaven nor the Son, but the Father. If God, Jesus & Holy Spirit is coequal, then how come God only knew and not Jesus or the Holy Spirit
Secondly, Jesus said in John 1:18 that no one has seen God. If that is true, then Jesus cant be the Almighty God.
Your thoughts...

yes
I have been saying this ( the Bible has been saying this) for a long time.
The path leading to the trinity was one that took a few hundred years after Jesus came and went from the surface of the earth. The fact is, that no one would come to the conclusion that Jesus is God unless the darkness of the apostasy (prophesied by Jesus) were to come and block out the light of the truth with the trinity, eternal soul(which led to eternal hellfire damnation), Mother of God, and all the other apostate teachings adopted from the pagans.

Youve got it. Jehovah's Witnesses dont believe in the Trinity for the same reasons. Many believers of the Trinity will argue that in John 1:1, it proves the Trinity. However, tracing the scripture back to its original text, it says "In [the] beginning, the Word was, and the Word was with God, and the Word was >>A<< god." As you know, there can be many 'gods' and only one "God", just like there are many lords, yet only one Lord.
Another scripture disproving the Trinity that is almost identical to Mark 13:32 is found at Matthew 24:36 ""Concering that day and the hour, nobody knows, neither the angels of the heavens nor the Son, but only the Father." ..So I guess if you reasoned Mark 13 was a typo, here's your proof it was not ;-)

The three Holy Personages of the Godhead are God the Father, Jesus Christ, the Son of God, and the Holy Ghost.
God the Father out-ranks them all and the Holy Ghost is His strongest link and Spirit with man and the testator to the truthfulness of the Father and the Son. The Father will always maintain over-all control of the Plan of Salvation because it was His plan to begin with. The Son of God is equal to His Father in so many ways, but there are some levels that are not within His grasp right now.

Jesus does not refurte the Trinity at all. He preached Himself that Him and the Father are one. Read the books of John, Corinthians 1&2, and 1,2,& 3 John to help you further understand. If you read in Genesis were God created man it says, " Let Us make man in our image." So really God Himself stated there is a Trinity. You must read the Bible through and out.

How about Revelation, referring to the seven spirits of God? Yet people like to say that the trinity consists of the Father, Son & Holy Spirit. What about the 6 other spirits?

i've been saying this for a long time, in other ways. i am a pagan, but i was christian for many years. i have always believed that "god" is within us as well as without. so i think jesus must have been a great and holy man, but no more a god than you or me. i think there have been many people; mother theresa, ghandi, nelson mandela, mohammed, buddha are some, that are up in the ranks of jesus of nazareth. i often worry when people confuse the two. after much research and study, i just don't think jesus meant that he was actually god, but that we are all god and not god. i think it's the most misinterpreted part of the message that he left us. i also think many people over the years have had their hands on reinterpretations of the bible.

What Bible are you reading concerning Mark 13:32??? At John 1:18, no man, no human, no one like us has ever seen God. It is not talking about Jesus, but earthly beings like you and I. We have never seen God.

There are some things that we as humans can't understand . Isaiah 55:8-9 . He was speaking of any man on the earth , not Himself . He was in the beginning with God when God created everything . Genesis 1:26

God is in three parts, He is the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. In one job description He knows all and in another He became flesh and came to earth to die for mankind and in another He is a comforter etc.

Jesus says in John 10:30--"I and My Father are one."
