The Trinity Doctrine is not in the Bible. The scriptures provided above show that the Father (2 Peter 1:17), Son (Colossians 1:12-16) and the Holy Ghost (Acts 5:3-4) are each a separate God. That coupled with the words of Christ where he said that the Father and him are one (John 10:30) did not give rise to the Doctrine of the Trinity. The idea of "Oneness" is explained in - John 17: 11, 21, which says that oneness is by faith, purpose, etc and not by body, in other words no one looses their individual existence and that includes the Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
What the Bible shows is that there are three persons, the Father, Son and Holy Ghost, each operate independently from each other. The fact the Bible shows Jesus praying to the Father to spare him the suffering while praying in the Garden of Gethsemane (Matthew 26:39) is clear evidence that Jesus thinks toward and communicates to a separate being, that is the Father who has power over him (John 10:18 / 1 Corinthians 15:24). The fact that the Holy Ghost was "in Jesus" at one time (Luke 4:1), and another time the Holy Ghost descended onto Jesus as he completed his baptism (Matthew 3:16), gives scriptural evidence that Jesus and the Holy Ghost are separate beings, each operating separately from each other.
The fact that Jesus said he will send the comforter (John 14:26) speaks of sending a separate spiritual being, else Jesus would have said he would come in spirit to them and would have not mentioned a separate visitation. Taking that with the fact that Jesus reappeared after his death in the flesh and told his followers that he is flesh and bone, but the Holy Ghost is not (Luke 24:39). This establishes a clear separation of being and of body types, making Jesus and the Holy Ghost two persons.
The Bible does not support the Trinity doctrine and it certainly did not come from the Apostles. Yet many combinations of philosophies called "creeds", taken from many sources that were not inspired, claims to support the Doctrine of the Trinity and falsely claims the Bible supports these philosophies. IT was the Apostles who had the authority and power to receive revelation for the Lord's Church to write scripture and doctrine, so who had this authority after the Apostles left? - None!
Once they were gone, that authority left also and no one had that power and no one had the right to make doctrine or scripture. So long as God's apostles were gone, so long as God refrained from restoring his Apostles, scriptures and Church, scripture that did exist (after much was destroyed by wickedness) was temporarily closed. Couple this with the fact that the Roman government destroyed many of the books and writings of the Apostles led to the loss of all the original texts from the Apostles. The Bible was later made by the copulation of writings from unknown authors who were believers and followers of Christ and his Apostles, put together by St. Athanasius, Bishop of Alexandria in about 367 AD, a Catholic Bishop.
If we believe the Bible to be the word of God, then read it for what truth does exist there. The Bible clearly said that all scripture and doctrine of God must be inspired (2 Timothy 3:16). Paul the Apostle clearly said that he did not receive any of his knowledge from men, but from Jesus Christ by revelation (Galatians 1:12).
When the Apostles were gone, the Church of Christ fell to false doctrines and philosophies of men and from there rose men who formed the Early Catholic church, joining with the government to make a state led church. This is where the Trinity Doctrine formed, it never came from God. It was taken from the doctrines of men (Matthew 15:9) to satisfy the Roman leader, Constantine who then made it a decree of death for those who denied the Trinity Doctrine. It was purely a political doctrine, nothing else. All this was ungodly and the Triune Doctrine should be shunned and destroyed as it is not accepted and was not made by God.
