Sure. It's just verifiable within the scriptures that this things called the "Trinity" is appearent. It's not accurate to adopt the "trinity," but it comes closest to describing the nature or relationship that God is with Himself.
I believe in the trinity, I just DON'T know what it is! Many scholars that are Christian, believe that God consists of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, that have adpoted the "trinity" as being descriptive, WITH years and years of Gospel messages and study beyond the common pale, don't understand it, and yet believe.
I support the concept of the Trinity, but I do not believe it describes God well enough, accurately enough.

Yeah! The Trinity teaching is a distortion of the teaching of
the GODHEAD. FATHER, SON, and HOLY SPIRIT, that
They almost got it right, except the West is too arrogant to accept spiritual teachings from the East. That everything comes from God, so we are all god in a sense.
They cry about doctrines of devils today, but evil has
worked it's way into everything. Even the church. They have all
kinds of false teachings. Like read the Bible, and onlty the Bible,
and nothing but the Bible. The Bible says to judge ALL things, so you can be judged by no MAN.
They say everything of a spiritual nature today comes from Satan. When the Bible says the Holy Spirit will we poured out and we will have visions and dreams!
But these are attacks from evil. Not something for intelligent people to blame on other human beings.

The Trinity is considered by most a defining characteristic of Christianity.

Jehovah's Witnesses consider themselves Christian and they do not believe in the Trinity.

You could turn that question around and ask can you be considered a christian if you do believe the trinity?
The answer to that question is what did Jesus teach?
How is Jesus one with the Father? John 10:30,
read 10:32 Jesus replied to them: “I displayed to YOU many fine works from the Father. For which of those works are YOU stoning me?”
When the Jews accused Jesus of being equal to God, he quoted Ps 82:6, human's whom Jehovah called gods. So said his godship was equal to human judges, not Jehovah whom he called the only true God. (John 17:3)
Also read John 17: 11, 21 to find out how Jehovah, Jesus and christians are one all together.
Rom 15:5,6
5 Now may the God who supplies endurance and comfort grant YOU to have among yourselves the same mental attitude that Christ Jesus had, 6 that with one accord YOU may with one mouth glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
To have the mind of Christ we must with one mouth Glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

The Trinity is NOT the defining part of Christianity, it is following the teachings of Jesus and believing that he is the Son of God. You don't have to believe that he is GOD.

Yes, you can, I have explain the trinity ideal many times, Now to the trinity people, You say Jesus was God, Then you will have to say GOD DIED, But God did not die Jesus his Son die. There is ONE LORD, ONE GOD, ONE FAITH, ONE BAPTISM, & if you call God Lord & Jesus Lord, then you have more than one Lord. God is all 3 in a spirit form because God IS a spirit & always will be a spirit. God is not a Person. Now if this question is asked again later on, I will explain it one more time, But right now I have to go.

No because Jesus, the Father and the Holy Ghost are 3 yet one. We don't understand it, and no one can truly explain it. But when Jesus was baptized the Holy Ghost came down, and the Father said this is my Son in whom I am well pleased. They can be a cult. There are other vrs. in the Bible that tell of the three together.

They are not Christian if they do not accept Jesus as the savior, which is part of that trinity. The Father, Son and Holy Ghost.

Which trinity(three things) would ye be referring to of 3:
1- these three in 1Cor 13; where greatest of 3 never fails
2- these three in 1John 5:16; where these three are one
3- these three in 1John 5:17; where three agree as one
What if these three x 2 are and agree as "one proselyte"?
What if such law law, of them vs them, is not grace us?
Pehaps ye should study to shew thyself approved(only).
For approved + disapproved(does NOT end "approved").
The GRACE of our Lord Jesus Christ WITH YOU ALL. AMEN.
