the trinity is believing that God jesus and the Holy Spirit are all equal.
It is not in the bible it was adopted by some christians from pagan worship.
You should contact Jehovah's witnesses.

The word "Trinity" is not used in Scripture. This is a term that is used to attempt to describe the triune God, the fact that there are 3 coexistent, co-eternal persons that make up God. Understand that this is NOT in any way suggesting 3 Gods. The Trinity is 1 God made up of 3 persons. There is nothing wrong with using the term "Trinity" even though the word is not found in the Bible. It is shorter to say the word "Trinity" than to say "3 coexistent, co-eternal persons making up 1 God." If this presents a problem to you, consider this: the word grandfather is not used in the Bible either. Yet, we know there were grandfathers in the Bible. Abraham was the grandfather of Jacob. So don't get hung up on the term "Trinity" itself. What should be of real importance is that the concept that is REPRESENTED by the word "Trinity" does exist in Scripture.

The concept of what we call the trinity is all thoughout the bible.
Remember, we have come up with this word to describe the main three parts or charactors of God. If you want to use another word for this by all means do so.
BUt to see that there are three distint parts of God that he uses to show and to teach us different things you need go no further than the book of Genesis.
In the first few verses, we will see that God created the heavens and the earth, then his SPIRIT moved over them and caused different things to happen.
TO see Jesus in this equation we can go to a conversation with the devil in the desert, or we can go to the first few verses of the gospel of John. In the beginning (just like Genesis) was the word, and the word was God, and the word was made flesh (Jesus Christ).
There is a verse in the bible that lists all three main parts of God together for us to see the distint differences, but I cant be totally sure of where it is at the moment. But first or second John would be good places to start.

While the Word 'trinity" is NOT in the Bible, we do see all three of the Trinity in:
Matthew 3:15-17 (New International Version)
New International Version (NIV)
Copyright © 1973, 1978, 1984 by International Bible Society
15Jesus replied, "Let it be so now; it is proper for us to do this to fulfill all righteousness." Then John consented.
16As soon as Jesus was baptized, he went up out of the water. At that moment heaven was opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and lighting on him. 17And a voice from heaven said, "This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased."

The Trinity is Father (God)...Son (Jesus)...and Holy Spirit (your conscious). It wasn't ever in the Bible and is a contrivance of various Christian sects. Some of the Sects substitute the Holy Spirit with the Blessed Virgin (Mary). PEACE!

‘Christ according to the faith, is the second person in the Trinity, the Father being the first and the holy Ghost the third. Each of these three persons is God. Christ is his own father and his own son. The Holy Ghost is neither father nor son, but both. The son was begotten by the father, but existed before he was begotten--just the same before as after. Christ is just as old as his father, and the father is just as young as his son. The Holy Ghost proceeded from the Father and Son, but was an equal to the Father and Son before he proceeded, that is to say before he existed, but he is of the same age as the other two. Nothing ever was, nothing ever can be more perfectly idiotic and absurd than the dogma of the Trinity.’

1 John 5:6-8
“This is He who came by water and blood—Jesus Christ; not only by water, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit who bears witness, because the Spirit is truth. For there are three that bear witness in heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit; and these three are one. And there are three that bear witness on earth: the Spirit, the water, and the blood; and these three agree as one.”

God the Father....Jesus Christ the son...Holy Spirit...Father God was with followers in the Old Testament, Jesus Christ is God in the flesh came to earth and died for our sins in the New Testament...after the cross, He rose and later ascended to Heaven...the Holy Spirit lives into the hearts of believers.
