Is Saint Paul Jewish? If hes Jewish then he might get the idea told by Jewish the "ONE" God theory. Then He gave the idea of Trinity not to confuse but to explain the birth of JESUS. Am i right to say that?

Saul / Paul was Jewish.
The Trinity = three personal self distinctions within one divine essence.

None of the Apostles or early Christians believed in the trinity. The trinity was an idea adopted into the Christian belief by the fourth century during the Apostasy (a falling away from the truth) that the Apostles said would come.

Saul of Tarsus was a Jew. When on the road to Damascus, Christ's Spirit appeared to him, and shortly thereafter Saul changed his name to Paul and began preaching the Gospel. That is, he was born again as a Christian.
Saint Paul did not create the idea or theory of the Trinity. Jesus said that his Father was God, that there was no way to his Father but through him, and that when he died in the flesh (Jesus), he would send the Paraclete, or the Holy Spirit.
God is a triune God, as acknowledged by Jesus Christ himself. No man created a theory about anything. God revealed himself as three persons.

Nope as the concept of the trinity is shown even in the Old Testament. Also, I believe most of the books of the New Testament have some reference to the Trinity. At least each Gospel, which then accounts for four different authors in addition to Paul.

He was a Jew but had coverted to the Roman / Greek religion of his day, which we now refer to as mythology. When he created Christianity he combined elements of both religions, notably the monotheism of Judaism (but with the trinity twist) and the idea of Hades as a place of torment for the dead, which was not a doctrine of Judaism.
