Matthew 27:46
And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
Mark 10:17-18
As Jesus started on his way, a man ran up to him and fell on his knees before him. "Good teacher," he asked, "what must I do to inherit eternal life?"
"Why do you call me good (agathos)?" Jesus answered. "No one is good (agathos)—except God alone.
(that's mean he is not related to trinity or even God)
Deuteronomy 6:4
Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD:
John 12:49
For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.
Do christians believe in some verses and ignore others to fit their desire believe?

There is no such thing as a trinity. It is a man made concept to explain the true nature of God.
Jesus Himself said I and the Father are one. Not MY father, THE father. Jesus is the word of God, and therefore, Jesus IS God. In the beginning was the word, and the word was God and the word was with God.
Not 3 distinct persons.
Look at it this way:
You are you. You are also your word. You are also your spirit. Yet you are still that one YOU.
Not 3 of YOU running around. One you.
And so it is with God. God is no more of a separate person from His word, than you are. Wherever His word is, He is.
God is God Almighty. God's word is now made flesh in Jesus. God's Holy Spirit is what impregnated Mary.
You can read the entire bible, and never find the word trinity in it. That should tell a lot more people that it is in fact a man made concept.
Jesus was on Earth to show man how to regain the eternal life that was lost in Eden. God had to show His people through example, what they were to do. After His baptism, when He took His disciples on the mountain, and showed His true glory, they were blinded by the light, and God said, this is my son in whom I am well pleased, but when they opened their eyes, all they saw was Jesus. He again had tried to tell them. As a man, (and that is what He was assumed to just be), when the person called a man named Jesus good, Jesus was saying and teaching this person that there is none (meaning no one) good but the Father. This was an example.

You are absolutely correct of course, although I'm sure you will get the usual meaningless religious replies without supporting factual evidence. Also, the word Trinity is never mentioned in the Bible, not once, and as such, it's just a fantasy entity derived by man for mankind. Nothing more and nothing less.
As for the rest of the Bible, well anyone with a little intelligence will soon derive that the Bible is trash.
The Bible is the biggest load of garbage and codswallop ever written by man, and I’m sure it will go down in history as the greatest load of gobbledygook ever to inflict such traumatic mental and physical damage on humanity, but still today, some people sadly believe the Bible to be true. That’s very sad indeed. Very sad.
When people quote various passages from the Bible, for example ...
Mathew 5:29-30 God encouraged self-mutilation.
Isaiah 13:15-18 God allowed women raped and little children slaughtered.
Genesis 6:11-17 and 7:11-24 God is the greatest mass murder in history.
What happens? Religious people pop up from under every stone with the same old garbage. “That was the old Bible, or we’ve changed the meaning, or wrong interpretation, or we’ve changed the context, or the quotes are out of context or or or, excuse after excuse.”
The fact is, they are Bible quotes, and the Bible is full of evil atrocities which religious people continually cover up, yet seem happy to drum into the minds of gullible little children. This is such a shameful disgrace in a civilised world.
If religious people are unable to apply commonsense and logic to develop a simple moral code to live by, then perhaps they could strip out of the Bible the evil, murders, rapes, abuse, and all traumatic references. Granted there will not be a lot left to read, but at least religious people may end up with a decent moral code to follow based on good, and not scare the living daylights out of innocent little children.

Read the following Scripture and the explanation given for it and you will at least see where the concept of the trinity comes from even if you do not believe it.
[Mat 28:19] Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the holy Spirit,
Footnote:
[1] Therefore: since universal power belongs to the risen Jesus (Matthew 28:18), he gives the eleven a mission that is universal. They are to make disciples of all nations. While all nations is understood by some scholars as referring only to all Gentiles, it is probable that it included the Jews as well. Baptizing them: baptism is the means of entrance into the community of the risen one, the Church. In the name of the Father . . . holy Spirit: this is perhaps the clearest expression in the New Testament of trinitarian belief. It may have been the baptismal formula of Matthew's church, but primarily it designates the effect of baptism, the union of the one baptized with the Father, Son, and holy Spirit.

Yes, some Christians do pick and choose. But this just part of being a human being. No man is perfect and that is why Jesus died on the cross. So that even though no man is not perfect, he may have chance to repent his sins and go to heaven. One reason that so many different religious sects exist is because there are so many instances of "pick and choose." Or interpretation.
There are also many people that still follow the Old Testament not believing that New Testament supersedes it. Mormons, for example, reference both of these and also their own book, the Book of Mormon, which is an inspired writing of God as told to their prophet Joseph Smith. The Muslims have their holy book and it also is interpreted in many different ways by many different people. This all part of being human. You must follow what you believe in your heart. God will not find fault in a righteous man or woman. Live your life as believe God wants you to, not as you feel you can tailor it.
This how I understand it.

It is true that there is absolutely no mention in the Bible of the Trinity - that word is never used. It is a man-made term to feebly describe and combine the distinct and separate Persons of the One True God - Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Scriptures tell us that God is 'One' yet it includes three names for God in both Old and New Testaments. So the answer to "there is no such things called Trinity" is technically correct. The answer to your second question, "Do Christians believe in some verses and ignor other to firt their desired belief?" is also affirmative. As long as we are bound by flesh and blood, we sin. Period. Whether or not we believe in the One true God. Our only hope is found in Jesus Christ, Who by His infinite grace (free gift - that no one can purchase but only accept) has already paid the price for our sins so that when He returns as He promised,ALL believers will taken with Him into heaven.

The trinity is THE FATHER, THE SON AND THE HOLY SPIRIT!!!
THEN YOU MIGHT WANT TO LOOK @ John 1:1 that says "IN THE BEGINNING WAS THE WORD (JESUS), AND THE WORD WAS WITH GOD AND THE WORD WAS GOD!!!!!! IF THAT DOESN'T HELP TRY JOHN CHAPTER 3, it should give you some more insight. By the bye, read the entire chapter 1 of John!!! No, we believe in the versus, however you need to get a bible dictionary for interpretations of certain words. Open your mind, heart and soul!!

The word trinity doesn't´t appears in the bible, but there´s evidence that proves it.
When Christ was baptized, the holy ghost appeared and God spoke, also in Genesis 1.26.
And the list keeps going and going, so don´t get confused If Jesus said, That my Father and I are one, that's an evidence of the trinity.

if you would diligently seek GOD with all your heart he has promised to reveal himself to you. the proof of who GOD is as the father the son and the holy ghost is a revealation that can only be proven by GOD to man by personal experience only . there are many scriptures that confirm who he is as the trinity from genesis to revelations ,but JESUS wants us to know him in such a manner that no man or devil can remove that experience from us. so dear friend i leave u with this verse in matt 16 vs.13 to 19 for for peter s revelation of GOD came by spending quality time with christ.to reveal means to uncover ,divine truth and wisdom must be un coverd to truly know GOD. ITS NOT WHAT MAN SAYS THAT YOU MUST DECIDE BUT BY YOUR OWN PERSONAL REVELATION.. JESUS SAID IN ST JOHN 10 ;29TO38 I AND THE FATHER ARE ONE. he also told timothy if you have seen me you have seen the father, in acts chapt 5 vs 1to4 the father and the holy ghost are one SEEK AND YOU SHALL FIND IS A PROMISE THAT GOD WILL REVEAL HIMSELF HIS ANSWERS PERSONALLY

The word Trinity is never used in the Bible explicitly!
All contemporary religious dogma has failed humanity!
All contemporary religious dogma divides the human family!
All contemporary religious dogma causes too many tears!
The whole of humanity longs for something that will bring
us all together as brothers and sisters. Something that
will allow us to embrace our unity.
Nothing I see on Earth today makes this possible!!!
Bless all souls. Peace and Prosperity to everyone!
Have fun but be safe.
