Continually the Bible refers ot God as one the concept of trinity is about one God. Man was created in the image of God and man was created with flesh and spirit and is one living soul...We are ONE man ..he is ONE God...
Do you think that man having flesh body and soul he is more than one man? Those who do not know God have trouble understanding the trinty as ONE...God told it to Moses and throughout scripture and he is One it was never meant for man to think of God as more than ONE God. He is Father Son and Holy Spirit. We are Flesh and Spirit and a living soul and are ONE man.

Trinity is polytheism. They say the Father is Almighty God, the Son is Almighty God and so is the Holy Spirit. These three different persons form God; according to the claim of the trinitarians...but we ask them: Isn't the Father alone God? After all, we are not to call anyone good other than Him; not even the Son...if they say yes, then they would be polytheists for claiming other divinities besides Him...If they say no, then they'd blasphemed because they deny the Father as being God.
The Koran has made it clear. Allah (God) says that when you're in a ship in the middle of the sea or ocean, and a big hurricane or typhoon that comes and is about to wreck your ship, you remember God only; you actually forget about Jesus, the Holy Ghost, Mary, the angels,....etc. You actually cry for God...but when you return safely to the land you polytheise! The first thing you do (as a Christian) after you're safe on land, is crossing yourself and crying: "Jesus!" Was it Jesus or God that mastered the sea and masters everything? Who actually saved you other than God?
Now, you really don't have to be in the middle of the sea...try something similar. Try riding an aeroplane; on a very high altitude; especially if you have a fear from flying. Now try looking from the window and experience the motion of the plane. You'll forget everything about Jesus' divinity and shall call God alone....yet once you're safe on ground, you'll return back calling Jesus!
Isn't that enough evidence for the trinitarian polytheists to acknowledge the absolute oneness of the One True God?

After years of searching I finally found a trinity in the bible:
Harper’s Bible Dictionary
Baal / Bel ,
translates into English as Lord
offspring of El, (Hebrew for God)
worshiped as a triad / trinity.
Where did I hear this teaching recently?
Sounds like a teaching of Satan, What do you think?
Who is fulfilling this prophecy?
(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.
Yes, the trinity worships multi gods, therefore it is polythiestic.

You don't understand basic evolution theory and now you're confused on Theology.
To answer your question: No.
The word "trinity" is a term used to denote the Christian doctrine that God exists as a unity of three distinct persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Each of the persons is distinct from the other, yet identical in essence. In other words, each is fully divine in nature, but each is not the totality of the Trinity. Each has a will, loves, and says "I", and "You" when speaking. The Father is not the same person as the Son who is not the same person as the Holy Spirit who is not the same person as the Father. Each is divine, yet there are not three gods, but one God. There are three individual subsistences, or persons. The word "subsistence" means something that has a real existence. The word "person" denotes individuality and self awareness. The Trinity is three of these, though the latter term has become the dominant one used to describe the individual aspects of God known as the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
Included in the doctrine of the Trinity is a strict monotheism which is the teaching that there exists in all the universe a single being known as God who is self-existent and unchangeable (Isaiah 43:10; 44:6,8). Therefore, it is important to note that the doctrine of the trinity is not polytheistic as some of its critics proclaim. Trinitarianism is monotheistic by definition and those who claim it is polytheistic demonstrate a lack of understanding of what it really is.
The Trinity
God is three persons
Each person is divine
There is only one God.
Many theologians admit that the term "person" is not a perfect word to describe the three individual aspects/foci found in God. When we normally use the word person, we understand it to mean physical individuals who exist as separate beings from other individuals. But in God there are not three entities, nor three beings. God, is a trinity of persons consisting of one substance and one essence. God is numerically one. Yet, within the single divine essence are three individual subsistences that we call persons.
Each of the three persons is completely divine in nature though each is not the totality of the Godhead.
Each of the three persons is not the other two persons.
Each of the three persons is related to the other two, but are distinct from them.

No, actually it's not.
Think of it like this...
A plant has roots (God the Father) and a stem (Jesus Christ the Son) and leaves (the Holy Spirit) It's all part of the same plant.
The Trinity is three personal essences of One God; the Living God.
The mystery of the Trinity is to be explored and prayed about. If you look at it from a secular view, it is difficult to understand. If you pray about it and are truly seeking God with all of your heart (earnestly) He will reveal Himself and help you with the mystery of who He is.
I hope that helps!

I believe that God the Father, the Son Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit are 3 separate personages. I don't think that the trinity is polytheistic, because that means you believe in more than one God. The trinity is one entity, so not polytheistic, just the wrong idea.

One God, three different ways of manifesting Himself.
How many "hats" do you wear in your life?
Can someone be a father, a son, a sibling, and a cousin all at the same time?
The Trinity is not Polytheistic.

If you examine ALL of Jesus' words in the new testament and keep them within context, he himself makes clear that he is subordinate to his Father and that he is NOT God- While on earth AND after he was resurrected! I cannot believe what a foothold the trinity doctrine has on people despite what the bible itself teaches us! Here are some basic truths we learn from the bible;
1. God CANNOT die. Jesus died. Therefore, Jesus is NOT God.
2. God knows EVERYTHING. Jesus admits he doesn't know everything, only the Father (Matthew 24:36) Therefore, Jesus is NOT God.
3. God is not subject to anyone. The bible says that Jesus is subject to the Father (1 Corinthians 7:3). Therefore, Jesus is NOT God.
4. God was NOT created. Jesus was created (Colossians 1:15, Proverbs 8:22-31). Therefore, Jesus is NOT God.
These four things are undeniable, straightforward, and sound evidence that Jesus is NOT God. To try to create a "workaround" is to deny the truth

Think of water. It can be ice, liquid or steam. It still is made up of the same molecules but just has three different states.
