Know what the problem with most people like the one above. They forget that ALL scriptures are inspired of God and benificial for teaching They only center on 1 scripture and that's it. Here are several scriptures that disprove the trinity.
Matt. 26:39 “Going a little farther he [Jesus Christ] fell on his face and prayed, ‘My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as thou wilt.’” (If the Father and the Son were not distinct individuals, such a prayer would have been meaningless. Jesus would have been praying to himself, and his will would of necessity have been the Father’s will.)
John 8;17,18 “[Jesus answered the Jewish Pharisees:] In your law it is written that the testimony of two men is true; I bear witness to myself, and the Father who sent me bears witness to me.” (So, Jesus definitely spoke of himself as being an individual separate and distinct from the Father.)
John 14:28 “[Jesus said:] If you loved me, you would have rejoiced, because I go to the Father; for the Father is greater than I.”
1 Cor. 11:3 “I want you to understand that the head of every man is Christ, the head of a woman is her husband, and the head of Christ is God.” (Clearly, then, Christ is not God, and God is of superior rank to Christ. It should be noted that this was written about 55 C.E., some 22 years after Jesus returned to heaven. So the truth here stated applies to the relationship between God and Christ in heaven.)
So we can see from these scriptures that Jesus and God are definately not the same.
Oh and don't let us forget Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him:
And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. So here we have Jesus, God's voice and God's Spirit al three are separate individuals.

I am Anglican. A few folks cross ourselves, nevertheless plenty do not. No biggie - we're a tolerant lot, so no-one issues approximately it. Your know-how of the Thotokos could also be very Orthodox - and without doubt rejected through many, if now not so much, different Christians. It would be authorized in Roman Catholic circles lovely thoroughly, and in lots of Anglican settings, however so much different denominations, above all the Evangelical ones, should not have your understanding of Mary, and actually, reject it without doubt. Orthodox Christians (and Roman Catholics) are very enterprise on Mary being without sin, and "ever virgin." These ideas don't seem to be authorized by way of others. OTOH, your know-how of the Trinity will frequently be a lot more compatible than theirs. You are going to realise it totally, whilst they're going to have main issue doing so (in lots of instances). So, in a non-Orthodox atmosphere, you might have to loosen up at the Mary stuff. Also, utilizing old-usual language should not be welcome in a few circles, primarily with the help of individuals that should not have a set liturgy to comply with because the "immoderate" church constructions do. At a wager, i will be able to wager a lot of members who see you crossing yourself consider you are Roman Catholic, although you're doing it in any other case! Tons of loss of potential available in the market.....

God is 1, and nothing can be compared to him. So very true. Even Jesus acknowledged that he was not equal to God.
People try to use the scripture where Jesus says he is in union with the father, and the father in union with him. But they often fail to read further - where Jesus says that all who believe are in union with him and the father. That's would make them like a "Billionthinity" or something! (((smile)))
But, no where does it show the disciples, nor Jesus himself teach of a trinity.
That doctrine came about years later. Constantine was trying to be "cool" and with the in crowd, so that pagan doctrine was adopted. Much like Easter, Christmas, and too many to name!

No. The bible says no man can see god and yet live, yet people seen Jesus on earth. Jesus prayed to his father when he was on earth. Well, was Jesus mental? Was he praying to himself? I think not. Trinity does not exist, and any Bible text linked with it is a misinterpretation. Prove me wrong all you thumbs-downers.

In the New American Bible for Catholics, Matthew Chapter 28, Verses 18-20:
Then Jesus approached and said to them, “All power in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19h Go, therefore,* and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the holy Spirit, 20i teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you.* And behold, I am with you always, until the end of the age.”
