The New Catholic Encyclopedia states: “The formulation ‘one God in three Persons’ was not solidly established, certainly not fully assimilated into Christian life and its profession of faith, prior to the end of the 4th century. But it is precisely this formulation that has first claim to the title the Trinitarian dogma. Among the Apostolic Fathers, there had been nothing even remotely approaching such a mentality or perspective.”—(1967), Vol. XIV, p. 299.
This means that the bible writers did not believe in a trinity.
Trinitarians were so hard pressed to prove the trinity that they started adding words to the bible to make the bible agree with their theology.
(1 John 5:7-8) . . .. 7 For there are three witness bearers, 8 the spirit and the water and the blood, and the three are in agreement.
In this verse you will notice that the spirit (holy spirit) is listed along with water and blood.
John did not believe Jesus was the Almighty, Notice what he wrote at Rev 1:6
(Revelation 1:6) 6 and he made us to be a kingdom, priests to his God and Father—yes, to him be the glory and the might forever. Amen.
the word his is in reference to Jesus. So Jesus worships God.
Jesus agrees with John, Rev 3:12
(Revelation 3:12) 12 “‘The one that conquers—I will make him a pillar in the temple of my God, and he will by no means go out [from it] anymore, and I will write upon him the name of my God and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem which descends out of heaven from my God, and that new name of mine.
The only trinity found in the bible is 'BAAL'
Harper’s Bible Dictionary
Baal / Bel ,
translates into English as Lord
offspring of El, (Hebrew for God)
worshiped as a triad / trinity.
Notice what Jeremiah was told to write.
(Jeremiah 23:27) 27 They are thinking of making my people forget my name by means of their dreams that they keep relating each one to the other, just as their fathers forgot my name by means of Ba′al.
Who today promote 'Worship the Lord' today?
Who today avoid using God's name today?
Who today have taken God's name out of their bibles?

interior the fourth century C.E., in a Latin treatise, an overzealous recommend of Trinitarianism for sure blanketed the words “in heaven, the father, the be conscious, and the holy spirit; and those 3 are one” as though those have been a citation from a million John 5:7. Later that passage became into positioned precise into the text textile of a Latin Bible manuscript, As for the interpolations at a million John 5:7 to assist the Trinity and at Acts 13:2 to justify the Mass, those did not replace what's actuality. And in time the frauds have been totally uncovered. the super reservoir of unique-language manuscripts of the Bible ingredients a means for checking the validity of any translation. this text isn't latest in any of the early Greek manuscripts and has for sure been further to strengthen the Trinity doctrine. maximum up-to-date translations, the two Catholic and Protestant, do not contain those words interior the main physique of the text textile.—a million John a million:a million, 2. right here is how those verses are translated in maximum bibles. (a million John 5:6-8) . . .. 7 For there are 3 witness bearers, 8 the spirit and the water and the blood, and the three are in contract.

It is clear that:
1) There is only one God: Deuteronomy 6:4; Mark 12:29; 1 Timothy 2:5;
2) The Father is God: Deuteronomy 32:6; Matthew 13:32, 25:34; Luke 11:2; 1 Corinthians 15:24; Ephesians 4:6;
3) The Son, Jesus Christ, is God: John 1:1-14; John 20:28; John 8:58 ff., Acts 20:28;
4) The Holy Spirit is God: John 14: 16-17, 26; John 16:7-14; Acts 5:3-4; Acts 13:2-4; Acts 21:10-11.
Just because the word "trinity" is not in the bible, does not mean that the concept is not biblical.

Yeah what is the word? Does it specifically say Jesus or Spiratu Sante (Latin)? Nope! The Trinity is a lie made up by the Catholic church, which was made up by the Roman government under Emperor Constantine. One of the only false doctrines that was not purged by Martin Luther of Germany. The Trinity was created to appease the followers of Roman pagan religions with their "Triune gods" Pegan doctrine. Catholicism (a hybrid of Pegan religions, and Christianity) was the solution to Emperor Nero's earlier ban on Christianity. The truth is: that God is the Father of all living things including Jesus, Jesus was Gods son because he was born directly from God via a virgin named Mary, and the Holy Spirit is a descriptive of God. God is a spirit, and he is holy.

As you quoted, the Trinity is clearly in the Bible, it is not a lie. The word "trinity" is not used, but it is the word Christians use rather than saying "The Father the Son and the Holy Spirit." We as Christians know exactly what we believe by it and those who don't believe in the trinity don't need a word to describe it because they don't believe it anyway.

Because God IS A SPIRIT.
The word Trinity is not in the bible, and the bible clearly says that the relationship is not something to be fathomed.
God is Spirit.
Jesus is the physical body that contained the spirit of God, therefore Jesus is God.
Holy Spirit is God because it is the Spirit from God.
These three are not mutually exclusive. God can be in heaven and in Jesus at the same time.
Any problem? NO problem.

Get yourself a study bible. Any good reputable study bible will either give you a footnote telling you that vs 7 of 1 John 5 is not in the original manuscript or delete it entirely.
Try a serious study of your scriptures son and stop relying on what others tell you.

the trinity is not a lie. The father gave us life and created us in the beginning.
Jesus, his holy son, our lord died for us to give us salvation.
The H.S. gives us guidance and support so we can live our life.
