Listen to this illustration: There were two neighbours: There was a couple living next door who had children however abandon them(like Adam and Eve who abandon us and sin against God). The children were left alone with no one to provide for them or to offer protection. However rite next door lived a rich father who had a son. The father felt pity for the abandon children so he told his son to carry food supply to the children, would it not be rite for the children to give thanks to the son but mainly to the Father instead! This is so because the apostle said that the head of the Christ is God and there is another Scripture that says there is one God, there is no recording or scripture that says ther is three God in one! If there is could you show me that scripture in the Bible?

to me, the Trinity makes sense.
to God, it makes sense, too.
now, who's opinion do you really think carries the most weight?
yours or God's?

Does the trinity make sense? Sort of. I am no longer a christian, but I have studied the bible for years. I believe a trinity is possible if it is dual sexes or good and evil combined, but a threesome of male authority only...NO.
To those who do believe in the christian faith, the bible does say that there is a trinity in more than one scripture. Here's the best one I can think of:
Matthew 28:19: "baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit"
There are tons of resource sites you can visit to back this up.

just like the word rapture is not in the bible, the word trinity is not either. When you have been saved and given the gift of the holy spirit (possible for everyone), the holy spirit guides you and gives you a more distinct meaning of the bible, they are no longer words we dont understand. Here is a couple of verses to read that will help you understand that God is really the father the son and the holy spirit. Matthew 28:19, 1Peter 1:1-2,

"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the word WAS God."
Yes, there is one Godhead, but the Bible does talk about the Father, Son and Holy Ghost, even though the word "trinity" is not mentioned. The concept of it is. The trinity appeared simultaneously at Jesus' baptism. Jesus, the Son was in the water, the Holy Spirit in the form of a dove descended upon him, and God the Father spoke in a voice from the sky, "This is my Son, in whom I am well pleased." Yes, I believe there is a trinity. The three persons of the Godhead are One, because they all think alike, speak alike, and act alike, and they never contradict each other. Therefore, they are One.

The same way we are flesh, soul and spirit; God is Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
See the following verses for more info:
" 6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.
7 “If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; and from now on you know Him and have seen Him.”
8 Philip said to Him, “Lord, show us the Father, and it is sufficient for us.”
9 Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and yet you have not known Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; so how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? 10 Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me? The words that I speak to you I do not speak on My own authority; but the Father who dwells in Me does the works. 11 Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father in Me, or else believe Me for the sake of the works themselves."
... "26 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you." (John 14)
"19 Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit," (Matthew 28)
"If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!” (Luke 11)
"8 But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me[a] in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.” (Acts 1)
Advise: Start reading the Bible, or contine reading it, but pray before for understanding.

Some people who say they are Christian seem to prefer Jesus suffering from skitsofrenia, that is him talking to himself rather then his (separate of himself) father, just to try to prove their pagan teaches are correct.
Jesus said his father is greater then I. (John 14:28). He said his father created him before making the heavens and the earth. (Col 1:15) And he said that he and his father’s spirit works together as a unit. (John 10:30) That he is a powerful spirit creature that can be called a God. (John 1:1)
If two people get married are they no longer two people but one?
Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.(Gn 2:24)
So…. If a Mr and Miss Smith get married they are now only “Smith” one person and the same person?
No of course not. It just shows the closeness the two share as does the close relationship Jesus shares working with his father.

Jesus was God's manifestation of Himself on earth. When Jesus was crucified and resurrected to sit at the right hand of God in Heaven we were left with His Holy Ghost. Luke3:22,Mark15:37,Matthew Acts1 & 2, Matthew1:23

This Jesus character is report to have said "I am one with my father" or words to that effect. I am "one" with my wife, but I assure you we are different people.
"Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost"
This doesn't say those are the same thing? none of that does unless you try to take it out of context.
I don't believe any of the crap in that book is true, but I will agree it was never intended for this trinity theory to come about.
