I cannot see a trinity in scripture
John 1:1-3
[1]In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
[2]The same was in the beginning with God.
[3]All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
The logos, God said let there be light and there was light. He spoke his word has gone out from him and became whatever was in his mind.
Isaiah 55:11
[11]So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.
So the word by which all things were made is God Our Father The Holy Eternal Spirit.
God is light
John 1:4-9
[4]In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
[5]And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
1 John 1:1-2,5
[1]That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life;
[2](For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and shew unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us;)
[5]This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.
Manifested in the Son according to the flesh This is when the Father and Son relationship began and not from all eternity.
Hebrews 1:5-6,8
[5]For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?
[6]And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him. (Only God should receive worship)
[8]But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom.
2 Corinthians 5:19
[19]To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.
The eternal Spirit/Father came and dwelt as one of us. As a Son/flesh
[6]There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.
[7]The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe.
[8]He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.
[9]That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.
John 1:10-14
[10]He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
[11]He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
[12]But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
[13]Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
1 John 3:1-2
[1]Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.
[2]Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.
Colossians 3:4
[4]When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.
[14]And the Word was made 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 1:19-23
[19]And this is the record of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, Who art thou?
[20]And he confessed, and denied not; but confessed, I am not the Christ.
[21]And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elias? And he saith, I am not. Art thou that prophet? And he answered, No.
[22]Then said they unto him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to them that sent us. What sayest thou of thyself?
[23]He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Esaias.
John the Baptist is the fulfillment of the Isaiah prophecy
Isaiah 40:3
[3]The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the LORD, make straight in the desert a highway for our God.
John 1:29-30
[29]The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.
[30]This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man which is preferred before me: for he was before me.
No Trinity One God Jesus Christ
Ephesians 4:4-6
[4]There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;
[5]One Lord, one faith, one baptism,
[6]One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.
Isaiah 44:6,24
[6]Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel, and his redeemer the LORD of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God.
[24]Thus saith the LORD, thy redeemer, and he that formed thee from the womb, I am the LORD that maketh all things; that stretcheth forth the heavens alone; that spreadeth abroad the earth by myself;
Not three persons but One God manifested in the person Jesus Christ. He is who made all things
He is the first and last
Revelation 2:8
[8]And unto the angel of the church in Smyrna write; These things saith the first and the last, which was dead, and is alive;
The King of Israel
John 1:49
[49]Nathanael answered and saith unto him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art the King of Israel.
Our redeemer
Luke 1:68
[68]Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for he hath visited and redeemed his people,
Jesus is the One true God Our Father the Head and we the body. Praise his name
