Trinity. The jw's and muslims got it wrong.
So he lifted his eyes and looked, and behold, THREE men were standing by him; and when he saw them, he ran from the tent door to meet them, and bowed himself to the ground, and said, “MY LORD, if I have now found favor in Your sight, do not pass on by Your servant. Gen. 18:2-3
For there are three that bear witness in heaven: the Father, the WORD, and the Holy Spirit; and these three are ONE. 1 Jn. 5:7
And the WORD became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth. John 1:14
And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness:
GOD WAS MANIFESTED IN THE FLESH,
Justified in the Spirit,
Seen by angels,
Preached among the Gentiles,
Believed on in the world,
Received up in glory. 1 Tim. 3:16
And God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM.” And He said, “Thus you shall say to the children of Israel, ‘I AM has sent me to you.’” Ex. 3:14
Jesus said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM.” John 8:58
God can't lie. Titus 1:2
Are those who say the trinity is a pagan concept calling God a liar...? If EVERY WORD of Scripture is inspired by God according to 2 Tim. 3:16-17, and God can't lie Titus 1:2, then whose lying?
But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. 1 Cor. 2:14
Professing to be wise, they became fools. Rom. 1:22

God is ONE person. He is NOT a part of a so-called Trinity. In the Trinity doctrine, the belief is that Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are equal. But, Jesus clearly stated that the Father is greater than he is in John ch. 17. The Bible does not support the Trinity.
Period.

At Acts chapter 17, verse 11, people are called “noble-minded” because they were “carefully examining the Scriptures daily as to whether these things were so,” things taught by the apostle Paul. They were encouraged to use the Scriptures to confirm the teachings even of an apostle. You should do the same.
Keep in mind that the Scriptures are “inspired of God” and are to be used for “setting things straight, for disciplining in righteousness, that the man of God may be fully competent, completely equipped for every good work.” (2 Timothy 3:16, 17) So the Bible is complete in doctrinal matters. If the Trinity doctrine is true, it should be there.
We invite you to search the Bible, especially the 27 books of the Christian Greek Scriptures, to see for yourself if Jesus and his disciples taught a Trinity. As you search, ask yourself:
1. Can I find any scripture that mentions “Trinity”?
2. Can I find any scripture that says that God is made up of three distinct persons, Father, Son, and holy spirit, but that the three are only one God?
3. Can I find any scripture that says that the Father, Son, and holy spirit are equal in all ways, such as in eternity, power, position, and wisdom?
Search as you may, you will not find one scripture that uses the word Trinity, nor will you find any that says that Father, Son, and holy spirit are equal in all ways, such as in eternity, power, position, and wisdom. Not even a single scripture says that the Son is equal to the Father in those ways—and if there were such a scripture, it would establish not a Trinity but at most a “duality.” Nowhere does the Bible equate the holy spirit with the Father.

God is a sum total of the conscience of the entire universes that have existed in the past, the present and future. God is not a person a duo or trinity, God resides in each living being as its pure consciousness and moreso in human beings because humans have the divine faculty of intellect.

The only way to perceive "god" with the brains that we use is to try and imagine an ever present nothingness.Not that I do not believe that there is a "god".Maybe a better way to understand him is to turn your face twards the sun and close your eyes.If you can ignore the temperature and feel the pressing of light against your face that is kinda what "god" as you call it is.He is not comprehend-able with words or description.You may only feel him.Applying a humanly devised perception to such an infinitely beyond our comprehensive abilities type of subject is why everybody is still "fighting in gods name".If your not sure about how to be happy with religion in your life, forget about religion for a while and just try to be happy and helpful to others and with yourself. The best way to show"god" that we care is to simply be as honest with yourself and others as you can.If we could picture everyone and everything as "god" then this might be a happier planet, or at least less violent.

The one true God is the father, and the Sond and the Holy Spirt.

In John 1:14 you can see that Jesus is the Word that became flesh.

Didn't God tell Moses "I Am Who I Am" in the book of Exodus (Old Testament).And being a believer of the word of God (The Bible),I know that God is "The Holy Trinity" (New Testament).

Believers in GOD will know that GOD is one and only one. The idea of a trinity has no basis in the doctrine of the Abrahamic GOD.
