Why did God’s prophets not teach it?
WHY, for thousands of years, did none of God’s prophets teach his people about the Trinity? At the latest, would Jesus not use his ability as the Great Teacher to make the trinity clear to his followers? Would God inspire hundreds of pages of Scripture and yet not use any of this instruction to teach the Trinity if it were the “central doctrine” of faith?
Are Christians to believe that centuries after Christ and after having inspired the writing of the Bible, God would back the formulation of a doctrine that was unknown to his servants for thousands of years, one that is an “inscrutable mystery” “beyond the grasp of human reason,” one that admittedly had a pagan background and was “largely a matter of church politics”?
The testimony of history is clear: The Trinity teaching is a deviation from the truth, an apostatizing from it.

Try this view point:
Christ teaches he is God and the bible shows he is part of a Godhead so to speak:
Jesus also taught about “the only true God” John 17:3
Jesus defines Himself as eternal. “I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty” Revelation 1:8
Paul frequently referred to the three separate persons of the Godhead. “The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all” 2 Corinthians 13:14
“How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?” Hebrews 9:14
“For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one” (1 John 5:7
The truth that God is a “tri-unity” of two invisible persons (Father and Spirit) and one visible person (Jesus) is evident even in creation.
the Godhead contains three distinct persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Each is God (Ephesians 4:6; Titus 2:13; Acts 5:3, 4), yet there is one God. The removal of one person destroys the unity of the whole.
In Isaiah 6:3, the angels around God’s throne cry “Holy, Holy, Holy” three times—once for the Father, once for the Son, and once for the Holy Spirit.

They'd never met a god before, how the hell were they going to preach about the triune nature?
FYI; the idea of the tripple or trinity originates from paganism. This was one of the many religions that was ammalgamated into the early christian religion in order to conform and gain more followers. The tripple goddess was virtually erradicated once the early bishops got their hands on her... dirty old men!

Jesus is the son of the Triune Father, yet continues to be a factor of the residing God. In John a million it tells us the notice is God and replaced into with God. Then notice grew to grow to be flesh and got here to Earth. So in case you replace Jesus for "notice", that particularly solutions your question. All 3 have been around constantly, and are all area of the residing God, yet are nonetheless seperate entities. definite, i comprehend it does not truly make plenty experience, yet that's why he's (or they are) God and we are actually not.

John 10:30 where Jesus said he and the father were one is a common proof text...
But there is no "finish" to the sentence...so One what? Trinitarians say they were one God, but deny they were one person??? How dumb is that?
So trinity says one God, 3 persons and the whole idea is not in the Bible.
Most encyclopedias (secular and Christian) say the doctrine of the trinity is "not explicitely in the NT" fancy words for "its not really there".

No. I mean no more than he taught a dozinity within his disciples.
Amongst the many fools who are trying to prove the trinity and helping more people convert to judaism because the jews have proof that the trinity is false, I will pick one randomly to respond to.
Lets say... Jeancommunicates. How does saying "teach them science in the name of newton, einstein and pythagoras" make the three humans a trinity? The bible refers to groups of men in threes several times, and yet they were not 1... The bible says Apollos and paul are 1, are they really? It is symbolical, and the verse you cited proves nothing.

Yes they did! but his disciples never really fully understood it, the Revelation was not yet complete. But now we have the complete Revelation of God Thur his word the "bible" and we can now understand it a little bit more.
God loves you.....God bless

No
He taught that He and the Father are two separate beings. Their oneness comes in their unity of purpose and thought and common goal, to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man (meaning men and women). On numerous occasions Christ prayed to His Father, not to Himself. Yes, He said that the Father and I are one, if you have seen me you have seen Him. That is because they are so much alike, the express image as well as thinking and acting alike. Christ also taught that His disciples should be one as He and the Father are one. He also taught that man and wife should be one. He taught that all of us should become one in Christ. That means that we come to a unity of spirit, purpose and common eternal goals.
