text: Actually the concept of the Trinity is completely unrelated to the statement made in the scripture quoted.\n\nThe Trinity doctrine does not establish that there IS a Father, Son and Holy Spirit, but that they are three entities in a singular existance.  There is NO scripture in the Bible that supports this view.\n\nTriads of Gods have existed in pagan religions dating back to ancient Bablyon (and possibly further).  The Trinity was incorporated into Christianity by Constantine, who was not even a Christian.  Constantine worshiped Ra, the sun god, and eventually converted to Christianity on his deathbed.\n\nThe Trinity has been maintained by the Catholic Church ever since, and was passed on to the Protestant Churches when they split away.  Nevertheless, there is absolutely NO scriptural support for the Trinity, and there are pleanty of scriputes that would seem to contradict it.\n\nFor example, when asked when he would return, Jesus told his Apostles that "no man knows the day and hour, but only the Father".  How could Jesus have not known himself if he was actually God?\n\nAlso Jesus said on a few occasions that "the Father" is greater than he is, and he himself prayed to God on many occasions.  The night before he was put to death, he asked that "this cup" be taken away from him, but only if it was Gods will to do so.  Clearly it was his, but not Gods.\n\nI think if you examine Jesus's relationship to God you will find the truth in this matter, which is that the Trinity is utter rubbish.
