So, Arq, how do you really feel about it? The Trinity is a failed carnal-minded effort replete with created jargon that pretends to make sense to understand the spirituality inherent in consciousness. Virtually the entirety of Christian dogma suffers from this same problem of carnal minds trying to understand spirituality. Given the two millennia involved since their inception, you would think we would have progressed beyond it. But the religions instituted blocks, rationalizations, and warnings designed to retain the ancient carnal ignorance and prevent (even retard) any spiritual understanding of Christ or God. Ironically, their own Bible tells them to interpret it spiritually. We truly are a perverse species.

I won't respond to all of your scripture references, but you might want to look up the user Mike555, as he is very knowledgeable in the doctrine and has posted extensive threads proving the Tri-une God. To an uneducated(Just Biblical Context) person it is easy to see why someone would think your quoted scriptures would say otherwise.

Why did the Jews want to kill Christ? He was claiming to be God in the flesh. . .

John 8:58-59 Jesus said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was born, I AM." Therefore they [the Jews] picked up stones to throw at Him…

"I AM" ("ego eimi") refers exclusively to Jehovah in the Old Testament and emphasizes there is only one (1) eternal God and no lesser gods. "Ego eimi" is used by Jesus to refer to Himself. The Jews understood very clearly Jesus was referring to Himself as Yahweh (Jehovah); that is why they attempted to stone Him after His "ego eimi" statement.

I am is a direct claim of being God.

Do you think Christ is lying?

You asked for scripture. Take a look here. . . Evidence Jesus is God
