Do you know who St Thomas Aquinas is ?
Nature of the Trinity
Aquinas argued that God, while perfectly united, is also perfectly described by three interrelated persons. These three persons (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit) are constituted by their relations within the essence of God. The Father generates the Son (or the Word) by the relation of self-awareness. This eternal generation then produces an eternal Spirit "who enjoys the divine nature as the Love of God, the Love of the Father for the Word."
This Trinity does not exist in separation from the world. On the contrary, the Trinity serves to communicate God's self and God's goodness to human beings. This takes place through the Incarnation of the Word in the person of Jesus Christ and through the indwelling of the Holy Spirit (indeed, the very essence of the Trinity itself) within those who have experienced salvation by God

You cannot rewrite history no matter how hard you try to change the truth! Hence today I believe that I am acting in accordance with the will of the Almighty Creator: by defending myself against the Jew, I am fighting for the work of the Lord. - Adolf Hitler My feelings as a Christian points me to my Lord and Savior as a fighter. - Adolf Hitler As a Christian I have no duty to allow myself to be cheated, but I have the duty to be a fighter for truth and justice... And if there is anything which could demonstrate that we are acting rightly it is the distress that daily grows. For as a Christian I have also a duty to my own people. - Adolf Hitler The folkish-minded man, in particular, has the sacred duty, each in his own denomination, of making people stop just talking superficially of God's will, and actually fulfill God's will, and not let God's word be desecrated. For God's will gave men their form, their essence and their abilities. Anyone who destroys His work is declaring war on the Lord's creation, the divine will. - Adolf Hitler Secular schools can never be tolerated because such schools have no religious instruction, and a general moral instruction without a religious foundation is built on air; consequently, all character training and religion must be derived from faith ...we need believing people. - Adolf Hitler We were convinced that the people need and require this faith. We have therefore undertaken the fight against the atheistic movement, and that not merely with a few theoretical declarations; we have stamped it out. - Adolf Hitler Will you be claiming George W Bush was not a Chrsitian next?! George W Bush started FIVE wars in less than eight years stating each time that it was his "God Given Duty” and on September 16th 2001 even called it a Crusade! Not his duty to the electors! Not his duty to America! Just his duty to keep slaughtering heathens for his god! Causing trillions of dollars of national debt that will take decades to repay and 46 MILLION Americans living below the poverty line that Mitt Romney does not care about!

You are so far off that there is no way possible to respond to all of it here
Paul was appointed an Apostle by Jesus The Christ personally. Paul was instructed by Jesus Personally for three years before Paul began his ministry.
The Trinity consists of The Father, The Son, And The Holy Ghost... all three mentioned clearly and a number of times in The Bible of The True Christian Faith.... there are three named... that makes a Trinity... that is all there is to that... all the other is just man invented doctrine or dogma.
Paul was given the commission to take the Word of God, through the teachings of Jesus, to the world beyond The Nation of Israel(the Jews)
And moo-ham-eed(no pbuh) had nothing to do with the One True God. The God of Abraham. The Creator.......... And islam is, in my opinion, a deception of the forces of evil.

Okay, first of all, I really don't see how a Muslim is an expert in Christian scripture.
The Trinity teaching is found in way more places than Paul's letters. Look in the works of Matthew, Peter, and John for references to the Trinity.
Paul didn't argue with all the other Christians. Peter even wrote in his letters that he agreed with Paul. And anyway, there is evidence of records from Roman officials (who were not Christian) and they recorded that early Christians were teaching salvation of Jesus Christ.
Nice try at rewriting history.

What? Paul is the major author of the teachings in the NT. Paul did persecute Christians in the first part of his life because he was a devout Jew and thought that the Christians were going against what God had given to the Israelite people. Then he had an encounter with Jesus himself on the road to Damascus. He became God's apostle to the Gentiles. His teachings are amazing and in no way contradict the other teachings in the Bible.

Pauls mission was to the non-jewish world. Peter was the preacher to the Jews. and there are no Grand Pubahs.
