You must have missed the last thread we had on the Trinity.

I’ll simply quote myself–

> [@Is the Christian Trinity really pagan?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/is-the-christian-trinity-really-pagan/664264/17):
>
> Beyond that, I mentioned in another thread that the doctrine of the Trinity is written into the very fabric of the Bible. “Elohim” is a plural word (which means, based on Hebrew grammar, that it refers to 3 or more) and yet it takes a singular verb. That fact alone is enough to absolutely prove the doctrine of the Trinity beyond the shadow of any possible doubt.

Most of your so-called “evidence” is simply and solely a by-product of Jesus’ humanity while on earth, nothing more.

Incidentally, you might be interested to learn that St. Paul described you in II Timothy 3:5–  
“Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.”
