He didn't "change" into the trinity.
It was simply the Spirit of God which came down to Earth to serve a purpose.
Also, there are Biblical passages in the OT to hint of the Trinity before timel, it was just the Holy Spirit was sent in Acts 2.

The Bible shows very clearly that there is only one God, and yet that there are three personal distinctions in His complex nature, traditionally referred to as "three Persons in the Godhead"—God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. Each is distinct from the others but never acts independently. They are one in nature and purpose. This mystery is called the doctrine of the Trinity, though that term is not used in the Bible. The teaching, however, is present in seed form in the Old Testament and is revealed explicitly in the New Testament. Note passages such as Matthew 28:19; John 10:30, 14:26; 2 Corinthians 13:14.
Our finite minds cannot understand or explain this mystery of God, which is nevertheless a fact. We must accept the truths found in the Word of God by faith even though we ourselves cannot comprehend them fully; read Hebrews 11:1,3,6 and 1 Corinthians 2:5-10;14; 13:12. It is really not surprising that the infinite God should be complex in His nature beyond the ability of finite humans to comprehend! This doctrine is absolutely essential to New Testament Christianity. Theologians have pointed out that if it were not true, the Bible would be unreliable, Christ would not be divine, and His death on the cross would not atone for our sins, being merely the death of a martyr.

The Lord has never changed. God has always been the trinity with Jesus Christ and the holy spirit. They were there with God at the time of creation.

God never changes what he said, the word "trinity" is not even mentioned in the Bible, only those people who claimed that they are people of God who fabricated that stories. Ok, tell me if i am a heretic, I don't care.

He never changed. God said in Genesis when creating man "Let us create him in our image.". Also, while the word trinity is never in the bible, it is simply a word that means 3 in one, Latin I think (?). When Jesus was baptized, all three were present. The Son on earth, the Holy Spirit in the form of a dove, and the voice of The Father from heaven telling all present that this was his son whom he loved.

that was his plan. and he never said he was never going to change. he means his love and his rightousness will never change, but this was a change for the better. don't you want christ? think about what people had to do before jesus...they had to do all these sin sacrifices instead of putting their burdens on jesus. The trinity was always a part of god's plan.

If God said he wouldnt change, then why do beleivers say that the OT was the old God, and the NT is the new and improved God???? So, God doesnt change, but he used to be violent, angry and jealous, but now he is all loving and omniscient?? ISNT THAT CHANGE?

God didn't twitch His nose and change into a Trinity. He has always been and always will be.
