it is to my knowledge that mormons say the father the son and the holy spirit are 3 different people. but the bible, in black and white teaches us the the trinity is one. the father is the son, the son is the holy spirit and the holy spirit is the son... how can you teach or belive otherwise, but still believe in the bible?

Well first of all because they lack the knowledge and understanding of who GOD says he is. Second of all if you read in the book of the gospel of john 1st chapter it says in the beginning was the word and the word was with GOD, and the word was GOD. So if GOD is the word then you ask your self then who is Jesus. Jesus is GOD himself !!! who dwelt among us .that's where the trinity takes place Father Son HolyGhost if the word was made flesh and the word was God, and the word iwas with God ,and in the beginning was the word thats your answer he is all the Father the Son and the Holy Ghost. some people get it confused how can one person be 3 people its not 3 its one because they all came from the same spirit.GOD is Powerful He can do anything like he said my thoughts are not your thoughts my ways are not your ways if GOD is the creature then he can be every where at all times like he is all seeing and all knowing.a person can teach and believe something may feel that is write but if i doesn't line up with the word of god its not truth. god tells his children to be careful in the last days for there will be false prophets and witnesses. so guard your heart and minds.always praying. Read the whole chapter of the Gospel of john Chapter 1:verse1-51. or until the HolyGhost leads you to stop.

No. Not only is the Trinity Doctrine unscriptural, but... "Jesus Christ never mentioned such a phenomenon, and nowhere in the New Testament does the word `trinity' [nor even the concept] appear. The idea was only adopted by the Church three hundred years after the death of our Lord; and the origin of the conception is entirely pagan." - The Paganism in our Christianity, pp. 197,198, Arthur Weigall. IF JESUS IS ALMIGHTY GOD... 1. Then why is "God the head of Christ just as Christ is head of every man"? (1 Cor. 11:3) 2. Then why does Scripture consistently phrase Jesus as a separate person from God? (John 20:17; John 14:1; Mark 10:18; John 17:1-3; etc. Also in heaven, 1 Cor. 11:3; Luke 22:69; etc.) 3. Then how can Jesus *have* a God? Could Almighty God have a God? (Mic. 5:4; Ps. 45:6, 7; 89:26; John 20:17; Rom. 15:6; 2 Cor. 1:3; Eph 1:3; Col 1:3; Mark 15:34; John 17:1-3; Also in heaven, Rev. 1:6; 3:2, 12) 4. Then why does Scripture say he was born and is part of Creation? (Col. 1:15) 5. Then why does Rev. 3:14 say that Jesus is "the beginning of the creation of God"? 6. Then why is he subject to GOD, like we're subject to him? (1 Cor. 15:27, 28; Eph. 1:17) 7. Then why does Micah 5:2 say that Jesus' ORIGIN was “from early times”? 8. Then why is Jesus still subject to God when he is as high as he will ever be? (1 Cor. 15:27, 28) 9. Then why does Proverbs 8:22-31 show that the Messiah was CREATED / PRODUCED by God? 10. Then why is he not powerful enough to subject things to himself? (1 Cor. 15:27, Eph. 1:17, 22) 11. Then why would he have to be given any power and authority? (Mt. 28:18; 11:27; Jn. 5:22; 17:2; 3:35; 2 Pet. 1:17) 12. Then why did he have to learn anything? (Heb. 5:8; John 5:19; 8:28) 13. Then why did Jesus call the "Father...the only true God"? (John 17:3) 14. Then why did he have to be exalted to Leader and Savior? (Acts 5:31) 15. Then how could he be exalted and given a higher name than he had? (Phil. 2:9-11; Heb. 1:2-4) 16. Then why did he have to be given life in himself? (John 5:25,26) 17. Then how can the Father be greater than he? (John 14:28) 18. Then how could Jesus be tempted by Satan when God cannot be tempted with evil? (James 1:13) 19. Then why did he worship the Father? (John 4:22) 20. Then why can he not do anything on his own? (John 5:19; 6:38) 21. Then why does John 1:18 say that Jesus is God's "only BEGOTTEN Son"? ASV 22. Then how can he be God's servant? (Acts 4:26,27,30) 23. Then how could he be a mediator between God and man? (1 Tim. 2:5) 24. Then how can he be God's image? (Col. 1:15; Heb. 1:3) 25. Then how could he get commanded to do anything? (John 12:49; Deut. 18:18) 26. Then why did Steven see two separate entities, GOD and Jesus, and not just one God or three persons? (Acts 7:55) 27. Then how could he be seen at GOD's right hand? (Luke 22:69; Acts 7:55; Rom. 8:34) 28. Then how could Jesus be exalted (not to become God Himself, but) to the position at the "right hand OF God"? (Acts 2:33) 29. Then why is he called God's "begotten" Son before he came to earth? (John 3:16; Gal. 4:4; 1 John 4:9) 30. Then why did he not come in his own name? (John 5:41-44) 31. Then why did Jesus "come down from heaven to do" God's will and not his own will? (Luke 22:42; John 6:38; John 5:30; John 8:42) 32. Then how could he die? Can God die? Can part of God die? (Rom. 5:10; Acts 5:30; 1 Cor. 15:3; Hab.1:12; cf. 1 Tim. 6:16; Num. 23:19; Ps. 90:2; Dan. 6:25-26) 33. Then why is it that God resurrected Jesus? (Acts 2:32) 34. Then why was he seen by men if "no man has seen God at any time"? (John 1:18) 35. Then why is there not one clear scripture where Jesus is called "God the Son," (equal to those declaring "God, the Father)?

The word Trinity isn't found in the bible. Therefore we can only speculate. I'd say that there is a trinity because of this scripture in Matthew 28: Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of THE FATHER and of THE SON and of THE HOLY SPIRIT, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."

The Bible does not teach the trinity doctrine.It is a pagan belief that was fused into apostate christianity in the fourth century CE.
Many bible tranaslations have been favourably translated by trinitarians to back up their belief.However,if one was to go back to the original writings,you would quickly learn where these changes have been made.
Jesus never claimed to be Almighty God.The Bible clearly teaches that Jesus is the Son of God and not God the Son.

We believe they are one in the sense they are one in PURPOSE. We believe they are all separate beings...the Father and Son both having perfected, resurrected bodies of flesh and bones and the Holy Ghost being a spirit personage.
We do believe in the bible, you obviously just interpret it differently than we do.

First of all, I am not a Mormon.
Secondly, I do not believe in a Trinity.
They are as one, not one. Why would Jesus feel the need to pray to Himself, and say "Your Will and Not Mine"?
Are you to say that he is wrong in this statement?
*
The word "trinity" is never mentioned in the Bible, not once.
*
If God planted a seed in Mary, that is to say that He impregnated her, then when that child (Jesus) is born, they are not the same, but two separate.
*
The origins of the trinity were based on pagan beliefs, and the doctrine written over 300 years, after Jesus was resurrected.
*
I will continue, if you like, but I think you were more looking for reassurance of the trinity, so "my words you do not seek".

You are reading into the Bible without thinking about it. I mean, how did Jesus come to earth??? He needed a father and a mother. Heavenly Father sent his son, who is not God to earth to be a saviour. The Holy Spirit was intended to get a body but refused so that he could better serve his Father and help man. what is so hard about that??? I am sure that God could do the work of all three but didn't Jesus need a father???

Spiritual deadness... (Mormons are not Christians)
If one denies the deity of any part of the trinity, then that person certainly does not have the Spirit of God alive within them. They can read the scriptures all they want, but just because the word "trinity" is in the text does not mean that the Trinity is not real.
"Neutron Bomb" isn't in the Bible either, but a description of its effects are listed in Zechariah 14.
The Trinity's effects are throughout the scriptures.

Where does the bible say they are 3 people in one body? It says they are one, not one body. Also, my website has a list of scriptures (mostly bible) that show evidence of 3 seperate beings see: http://justinodhans.googlepages.com/apologeticsandmore

They also believe that Joseph Smith had the power to grant salvation, as does the president of the mormon church. That's not in the bible either. They are deceived
