Jesus was born a Jew. Jews were God's chosen people, were Unitarian and still are. Christianity stemmed from Judaism so should logically be Unitarian. The Trinity crept in around centuries after Jesus death.

Youv'e answered your own question here. Men made the trinity up. Even the Catholic Church has admitted that it wasn't a Bible Teaching. "Not fully assimilated into Christian life and its profession of faith until the end of the 4th century" And "Amongst the Apostolic Fathers, there had been nothing even remotely approaching such a mentality or perspective". The New Catholic Encyclopedia (1967, vol.XIV, p229). Look up the word assimilated. The trinity wasn't used in the Bible because it is a false belief, cleverly used by Satan to blind "the minds of the unbelievers, that the illumination of the glorious good news about the Christ, who is the image of God, might not shine through" 2 Corinthians 4:4. Note the word image, how often do we say a child is the image of its parents, this does not mean they are the parent only that they look like or reflect qualities of the parent. Jesus reflects the qualities of God, he is not God himself.

God is the Trinity. He is first of all a Father. Infact, the Father of all souls because He Himself is a Soul and we His children are souls as well- like Father, like son, so to speak.
Besides, the same God is a Teacher. His role now in the world drama cycle is to teach.
Not only that, but He is also the Spiritual Guide and the Satguru who will come and take us back to our sweet home(the soul world) where we lived together with Him before we embarked on our earthly journey to play our respective roles in the world drama cycle.Indeed, nobody knows the way back home and more importantly nobody has gone back home.It is not yet time to go back home when the drama cycle is ongoing.It is not the law.
So, we have God the Father, God the Teacher and God the Satguru (three- in-one). This is what is called the TRIMUTRI FATHER which the christians have coined to read the Trinity. In effect, there is nothing like the Holy Ghost(how holy is a ghost?) and does God have to be a ghost to be holy?
Again, how can God be a son? Does it imply that He has parents?
Indeed, God is the Father of all Souls but neither a son nor a holy ghost/spirit.

U have Never Read the Bible have U??? The Trinity is Firmly Declared in Many Passages Including from Christ Own Mouth, when He said in John 14:6 "Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." and in John 14:16 "And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Counselor to be with you forever". John

Short and to the point:
Just like you said, the whole teaching of the Trinity is man made, and never mentioned ONCE in the Bible. I agree with you completely, sad that most are fooled by pastors and such.

The teaching of the Trinity is in the Bible but it is also the teaching of the Church. Perhaps you need more study in an environment that does not promote the heresy of the Arians so that you may come to believe in the truth.

this was just another invention by so called christians, who seem to make it all up as they go along, they worshipp a false god , being jesus. they forgot about god himself, live by laws that only they think is good, it dont suit them then its not right, we should all live the way god wanted us to in the beginning, not how jesus wants us to, how can anyone turn up and decide to change the laws god gave to moses, and furtheer more how could people believe it all, jesus was a prophet, not a god.

The Bible doesn't support the trinity doctrine, despite the fact that a handful of verses are used to claim it does. Those can easily be explained when the context is examined
The teaching predates Christianity. Wouldn't Jesus' earliest disciples have taught it... written about it?

This is how the birth of Jesus Christ came about: His mother Mary was pledged to be married to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be with child through the Holy Spirit. 19 Because Joseph her husband was a righteous man and did not want to expose her to public disgrace, he had in mind to divorce her quietly. 20 But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, "Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. 21 She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins." 22 All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet: 23 "The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel" -- which means, "God with us." (Matt 1.18ff)
