The word “trinity” is shorthand for our understanding that there is one God in three persons. No Christian asserts that “trinity” is a word in the Bible.
Neither is “modalism,” “arianism,” “post millenial,” “dispensational,” or many other theological terms. We use them as shorthand, rather than using a sentence’s worth of description of every time.
I could say: “the belief that the Father is God, the Son is God, and the Holy Spirit is God, and yet there is only one God, an eternal mystery beyond understanding and yet clearly taught in the Bible.” Or, I could say, “the trinity.”
As for Scripture proofs, if you are a JW, you are probably already aware of the many many verses that orthodox Christians utilize to show that not only the Father, but the Son and the Holy Spirit, are God - just a couple here for those interested or conflicted:
“And after eight days His disciples were again inside, and Thomas with them. Jesus came, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, “Peace to you!” Then He said to Thomas, “Reach your finger here, and look at My hands; and reach your hand here, and put it into My side. Do not be unbelieving, but believing.”
And Thomas answered and said to Him, “My Lord and my God!”
Jesus said to him, “Thomas, because you have seen Me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.” (John 20, 26-29)
Please note Thomas addresses Jesus as God, and is praised by Him, not rebuked.
Prophesying of Christ:
“For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.” (Isaiah 9:6)
As to the Holy Spirit’s Godhead, in Matthew 28:19 Jesus commands people to be baptized in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. How could the command make sense if the Holy Spirit is just a power or characteristic, rather than a living Being like the Father and Son?
Frequently throughout the Bible the Holy Spirit is referred to as “He,” and given all the attributes of God. Note, for example, Jesus was conceived in Mary’s womb by the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is God. Who else could cause the conception of Jesus? God alone, surely.
Yet there is one God. So we are left with this truth: There is one God, in three persons, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
No surprise that your irony is unappreciated.
