Trinity, trinitarianism, triune defined

Well...I may as well begin with the most diabolical example of tradition and philosophical deception: The Trinity.
The expressions of the Trinity are vast and varied but always seemingly stress the importance of acknowledging the idea that there is a Triune God. that god is "one God in three persons." Accordingly, trinitarians suggest that the Christian faith is a faith in the Triune God. However, while they confess in the oneness of God and even admit that Judaism has always made reference to the One God, they defy the oneness doctrine of the Old Testament with reference to New Testament Scriptures. 

In fact, J. Rodman Williams (a Devout Trinitarian) states "In the Old Testament there is no distinct reference to God as existing in three persons." Feeble attempts to intimate that because the word "three" is used in the OT, there is therefore reasonto believe there might be a hidden reference to their claim of a triune God. Ttrinitarians altruistically cling to the idea that perhaps it is sufficient that suggestions in the OT should substantiate their claim. God, in fact, has already stated what He means and most definitely did not discribe Himself as a triune god. If He were a triune God why did He make it clear that He is ONE? Further, He never referenced Himself as more than One.

The trinitarians or those who hold to the idea of Triunity sometimes adopt variations of the falsehood but all of them will recite something to the effect that "I believe in one God in three persons...the blessed trinity." That is, they suggest that the Father, Son, Holy Spirit are "three in one" [God].
The NT references below are a frequent stop for trinitarians:

1 John 5
7 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
8 And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one.

Special attention to those Scriptures, however, contradict the notion of a trinity in themselves.  in 1 John 5:7 the Word says "Father, Word, and the Holy Ghost" no mention of Son.  This is not to negate the fact that there is the Only begotten Son of God. It does, however, illustrate the propensity to elaborate when the Scriptures are specific. Further, the notion of "three in one"  is not mentioned in Scriptures at all!  The Word says that those three, Father, Word, Holy Ghost, are one.  If "One", then you cannot turn the Scriptures to mean that the one is three!  The reference to the Father, Word, Holy Ghost is a  reference to the One God and on earth we agree with our God and Father of all who is that Holy One of Israel.

The reference of God in "three persons" is concocted by trinitarians and unfounded in the Holy Scriptures.

There is absolutely no quotable Scripture or reference that says that God is in or of or made up of three persons anywhere in God's Holy Word.  There is absolutely no reference in God's Holy Bible (KJB) to even a reference to "persons of God" or God is more that of the "Just One". The only reference to the person of God is found in Job"

Job 13
8 Will ye accept his person? will ye contend for God?

Do not however make God in your mind to be a mere person. Rather, we know that God is not man but is Spirit.

Numbers 23
19 God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?

John 4

24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

Mr Williams has go so far as to state properties of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are distinctive to each and that there is an hierarchy that exists so that the relationship of the Son is subordinate to the Father.

To this extent, trinitarians cannot even agree to the divinity of the Son.
I ask often "Who do you believe Jesus is?"  Some do not know, and so many professing Christians will say first, "He is the Son of God." When I follow with the question do you say that He is God?" Very often those same people say "No."  I usually follow with., "Then why do you call Him 'Lord'?" 

If He is God, I submit, then, according to His Word, He is very God! ..the One true God who is our Father and, by whose One Spirit, I am sealed.

Watch for the OT references to our ONE  GOD...
