The Holy trinity is a concept created by MAN. Words were inserted into the bible to make it sound like there may be a holy trinity. But as we all know, the holy trinity was VOTED on at the council of Nicea by MEN. If the holy trinity was really in the bible, and the bible is the infallible word of god, why the vote? Why would they need to vote to decide whether to include the ideas of the holy trinity, the divinity of Jesus, and the virgin birth if this was the word of god?

The Trinity is the term employed to signify the central doctrine of the Christian religion -- the truth that in the unity of the Godhead there are Three Persons, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, these Three Persons being truly distinct one from another.
Thus, in the words of the Athanasian Creed: "the Father is God, the Son is God, and the Holy Spirit is God, and yet there are not three Gods but one God." In this Trinity of Persons the Son is begotten of the Father by an eternal generation, and the Holy Spirit proceeds by an eternal procession from the Father and the Son. Yet, notwithstanding this difference as to origin, the Persons are co-eternal and co-equal: all alike are uncreated and omnipotent. This, the Church teaches, is the revelation regarding God's nature which Jesus Christ, the Son of God, came upon earth to deliver to the world: and which she proposes to man as the foundation of her whole dogmatic system.
In Scripture there is as yet no single term by which the Three Divine Persons are denoted together. The word trias (of which the Latin trinitas is a translation) is first found in Theophilus of Antioch about A.D. 180. He speaks of "the Trinity of God [the Father], His Word and His Wisdom ("Ad. Autol.", II, 15). The term may, of course, have been in use before his time. Afterwards it appears in its Latin form of trinitas in Tertullian ("De pud." c. xxi). In the next century the word is in general use. It is found in many passages of Origen ("In Ps. xvii", 15). The first creed in which it appears is that of Origen's pupil, Gregory Thaumaturgus. In his Ekthesis tes pisteos composed between 260 and 270, he writes:
There is therefore nothing created, nothing subject to another in the Trinity: nor is there anything that has been added as though it once had not existed, but had entered afterwards: therefore the Father has never been without the Son, nor the Son without the Spirit: and this same Trinity is immutable and unalterable forever (P. G., X, 986).

It comes from the God. If you study the word of God it will show you that you have God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit...

here are some facts that i would like to share with you:
- no where in the Bible says trinity.
- no where in the Bible says jesus PBUH is your god
- surprisingly in the Bible Jesus PBUH actually pray and ask for forgiveness...etc
WHY would he do that if he's God?!
have time to think about it
