Yes, because the Bible says that Jehovah is the Most High. He has no equals. Jesus is the Son of God, not God himself. Ps. 83:18; John 10:36

No, the Trinity is the contradiction and the affront to God's sovreighnty. Jesus and God are 2 seperate and distinct persons and not any part of any trinity,The Bible does not support the trinity teaching in any way shape or form,If you say that Jesus is God then howcome, he died? God cannot die,If he had died who raised him?if he didn't die why would he say that Jesus did die? Because Jesus is not God, a god, yes, but not Almighty God Nowhere does the Bible say that Jesus is God let alone that he is the Almighty God! Jesus himself said that he is God's Son!(John10:36)God also called Jesus his Son(Matthew3:16,17)Jesus was seen by thousands of people,Yet the Bible says that no-one has seen God at any time(John1:18).

The doctirne of the Trinity is false. Why would God need to make up the idea that he had a Son? He didn't make it up He Reall has one only begotten Son.
Read Acts 7:55-56 & Matthew 3:
The Trinity was made up way after Christ.

Moses is 'God' to Pharaoh (Ex 7:1)
The angel of Jehovah is God (Judges 13:21,22)
The judges of Israel are gods (Ps 82:6)
Are these men or angel against Jehovah?
No they are appointed by Jehovah to be His Representatives, His spokesmen.
Just as Jesus.
If we made Jesus a god, or if we worship him, then we are an affront to Jehovah.
Jesus liken himself to the judges of Israel, at John 10:34 -36
Jesus only becomes a false God if you worship him.
If Christians are to follow Jesus' example, Why aren't we worshiping his God?
Rev 1:6, Rev 3:12
Go ask your English teacher if it is acceptable to say:
Snoopy is Dog.
Volkswagen is car.
Why do trinitarians use improper English to support a false doctrine?

The word Trinity does not appear in the bible. Humans made that up.
Either you are confused or don't understand. God created Jesus. It was his first creation. Through Jesus everything else that we know was made.
Jesus is not God, he never said he was God. Jesus always praid to his father in heaven and did HIS will not his own.
Jesus came to earth as God's messenger. Do you really think God, the creator can be tempted by the Satan like Jesus was???
Do you Think God the creator could die???
Jehovah or Yaweh is God. Jesus is God's creation. I know this will not convince you. Actually nothing probably will. But I hope one day you actually read the bible and play close attention to it.

No; the Father, Son and Holy Spirit are not three distinct "persons" and three persons, each being God, is three Gods no matter how you slice it. The Holy Spirit is God's substance; that's what God is. Jesus is both God and man, the only "person" in whom dwells the fulness of deity. Read John 14:9 and Colossians 2:9-10.
The Bible does not say "God in three persons," not one single time.

Throughout the tanuch we are told that Yahweh is our salvation. We have storys of Yahweh having face to face encounters with Adam and Eve, Abraham, Jacob, Moses, The seventy elders, Joshua, and others. John 1 tells us that the word became flesh and dwelt amoung us and was the only begotton son of the Father. It also says His name was Yahshua. If we go back and replace the word "word" with Yahshua in the beginning of John 1 this is what you get.
In the beginning was Yahshua and Yahshua was with God, and Yahshua was God the wame was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him (Yahshua) and without him (Yahshua) was not anything made that was made. In him (Yahshua) was life and the life was the light of men.
Yahshua also said in John 6 Yahshua says no one has seen the father except he who was sent by the father speaking of himself.
Peter states in Acts three that there is no other name by which we are saved except that of Yahshau, Yashua claimed that he was the way and the life. He claimed to be the savior. His very name means Yah Saves.
Yahshua is the God of the Old testiment. No man has seen the Father but Yahshua but the Father has given all things over to Yahshua till all is accomplished. This is one of the great lessons of the Feast of Tabernacles.
The holy spirit is not God it is the essence and power of God.
Therefore technically throughout the bible there is One God who has been dealing with mankind in a direct fashion, Yahshua. The Father is separate.

God is a trinity of persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. The Father is not the same person as the Son; the Son is not the same person as the Holy Spirit; and the Holy Spirit is not the same person as Father. They are not three gods and not three beings. They are three distinct persons; yet, they are all the one God. Each has a will, can speak, can love, etc., and these are demonstrations of personhood. They are in absolute perfect harmony consisting of one substance. They are coeternal, coequal, and copowerful. If any one of the three were removed, there would be no God. (See also, "Another Look at the Trinity")
Jesus, the Son, is one person with two natures: Divine and Human. This is called the Hypostatic Union. The Holy Spirit is also divine in nature and is self aware, the third person of the Trinity.
There is, though, an apparent separation of some functions among the members of the Godhead. For example, the Father chooses who will be saved (Eph. 1:4); the Son redeems them (Eph. 1:7); and the Holy Spirit seals them, (Eph. 1:13).
A further point of clarification is that God is not one person, the Father, with Jesus as a creation and the Holy Spirit is a force (Jehovah's Witnesses). Neither is He one person who took three consecutive forms, i.e., the Father, became the Son, who became the Holy Spirit. Nor is God the divine nature of the Son (where Jesus had a human nature perceived as the Son and a divine nature perceived as the Father (Oneness theology). Nor is the Trinity an office held by three separate Gods (Mormonism).
The word "person" is used to describe the three members of the Godhead because the word "person" is appropriate. A person is self aware, can speak, love, hate, say "you," "yours," "me," "mine," etc. Each of the three persons in the Trinity demonstrate these qualities.
The chart below should help you to see how the doctrine of the Trinity is systematically derived from Scripture. The list is not exhaustive, only illustrative.
The first step is to establish the biblical doctrine that there is only one God. Then, you find that each of the persons is called God, each creates, each was involved in Jesus' resurrection, each indwells, etc. Therefore, God is one, but the one God is in three simultaneous persons. Please note that the idea of a composite unity is not a foreign concept to the Bible; after all, man and wife are said to be one flesh. The idea of a composite unity of persons is spoken of by God in Genesis (Gen. 2:24).

JW's teach against the Trinity, on the basis that there is only One God; perplexingly, they also teach that the Archangel Michael was incarnated into human flesh and, in so doing, became "a god." Not God, mind you, but god. Therefore, JWs are polytheists. Of course, they disagree with this on the basis that they don't pray directly to Jesus. Most of us are a bit too smart to fall for that one.

God is not some polytheistic trinity. God acts alone without partner, does not require a day of rest or people to do his work. Trinity is 100% man made, and invention of the human mind.
