The people who claims that trinity is so clear in the bible said that you can see in the whole bible, but if that is true why they don´t believe that God is divided in three or has three manifestation and why the people who really read the whole bible from the beginning until the end do not believe in trinity, not that Jesus is not divine that is not the point because the son of an american is an american so the Son of a Divine being (God) should be divine also but that doesn´t mean that his father and the son are the same person in a mistery that can´t be explain to a kid, and also muslims both of them are Abraham´seed and both of them reject the polytheist theory that God is three but one but three.

You have hit on exactly the point the separates the Jewish, Christian, and Muslim religion. They differ over who the person Jesus is. For both the Jews and Muslims he is less then God Himself. He is, in their opinions, at best a prophet, and at worst a false teacher who nearly destroyed the Jews.
Christians hold that he is God Himself. We can see that plainly taught in multiple scriptures throughout both the Old and New Testaments. It is on that basis, that Jesus is able to be the sacrifce which pays the penalty for the sins of mankind. It is because He is God Himself that faith in him is necessary for salvation. These are the fundamental doctrines of the Christian faith.
As both Jews and the Muslims reject salvation through Christ and his atoning death, they must also reject that he is God Himself. So they either find ways of interpreting the scriptures about Jesus in the Old Testament to make them not apply, or they decided that the book as been so altered by men that it is not reliable and they can just reject it outright.
Christian, by following the Bible teaching that God is Father, Son and Holy Spirit remains a monotheist religion.
To believe that Jesus is the Son of a Divine being and so Divine also - but not the same person as God - is to create a polytheist religion. That is rejected by all three religious.

The whole bible for Jews is just the Old Testament as opposed to the Old & New for Christians. Jews deny Jesus as the son of God thus it is impossible for Jesus to exist as part of the Trinity. The Christians do not see the Trinity as polytheism: the trinity is ONE divinity made of three parts.

Here''s a thought: In the OT God did most of the talking. Now, over time, again and again, man decided to fall out of favor. And the strain of time between the OT & the NT seems to reflect on the exile of the Isrealites. (The 70 years captivity, the wandering in the desert, etc..) Now, God may have tried a new approach through J.C. ( Possibly, a physical teacher instead of a *conscience teacher.) And afterwards, after his ascenion, the WORD was written. Meaning God, who's Son, J.C., passed on the spirit of the word to us. (J.C. largely qouted from the OT) Thus, connecting both the Old and New testaments.

Jews do not believe in the New testament. They only believe that the Old testament was given to them by God.
The Jews had the Romans crucify Jesus exactly because of that: they believed he was preaching a new religion that was in direct contradiction with the one they already had: (The law of Moses (Torah), the Psalms and the Prophets).
What's so hard to understand about that?

the jews believe in the old testament.
The "trinity" retcon is basically just a way to get around the first commandment "no other gods but me".
If christianity holds jesus as divine and preys to him, then they violate the "one god" rule that is central to the judeo christian mythology.
The trinity is a flimsy way to get around this.

Christians don't believe in the Trinity either. What is it about Catholics? Why do they try to transform God into a three headed, torture bent, unamed entity?
