I still haven't found any reference to trinity in Scripture. What I truly think is that some dude tried to make God more understandable to our very limited minds and taught us about the three in one. Makes sense to me to make a midrash out of something hard to understand. I'd like to know when the trinity concept actually came into being with Christians. I know Judaism has an aspect of it somewhere way back in time.... Kay

Tertullian was the
one who came up with the Trinity and Athanasius later came up with the "eternal
Son of God concept"
Neither are in either
Old or New Testaments and neither were taught by the
Apostles.
I think you've hit
the nail on the head so to speak Kay because God did not instruct an elite group
to tell us what the scriptures mean.
We are individually
responsible to study to show ourselves approved unto God as a workman who need
not be ashamed, rightly
dividing the Word of
Truth.
Makes sense to me
also... judyt
