That is incorrect. God the Son, God the Father, and God the Holy sprit are one God, meeting us on every level needed.

How come Jesus Himself never referred to a trinity or him being a part of the trinity ? .

I fully understand what he meant when he said "when you have seen me you have seen the Father . What he was saying was not that he was some 2nd part of a trinity but "The reality of who God is"

He did on several occasions...not only by praying to the Father, but by claiming He was "I am". Isaiah chapter 9 is very clear about the manifestations of God for us, and that He did so in the Holy Spirit (our counsellor), The Son (our examplified living), and the Father (our endearing, loving dad/Abba Father).

When Christ claimed Himself the "son of man", this was a direct reference to Daniel's visions as the Son, of the Holy One, Him in the flesh, the man God.

If Jesus was God dwelling in the flesh, and if there is only one God, who was it that Jesus was referring to as being "in Heaven"?

The trinity presented itself at the baptism of Jesus.

(That's a second person who is God.) You say that the Holy Ghost is God. (That's a third person who is God.) And then you turn around and tell me that there is only one God. Is this supposed to be easy or am I just really, really dense?
