There’s nothing in the Bible about a Trinity. And there is in the Bible a specific reference to sins only being forgiven by the Apostolic Church. Hmmmm. Anyway, Lent is Tradition, which is binding, as St Paul tells us (and finally, there is no Biblical support that all Christian belief is in the Bible). 40 days of sacrifice emulating Our Lord’s 40 days in the desert, a Tradition that is pretty old and noble.

Only Jesus Himself forgives sins. He did not delegate the authority.

There’s nothing in the Bible about a Trinity.

Matthew 28:19 is one reference.
Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,

Liturgical lent is based on the temptations of Christ when he fasted in the wilderness for 40 days

lent very much so is liturgical and biblical

As for your understanding of trinity see John 1. It is clear that the triune God, father, son and Holy Spirit is the nature of One God, the king of creation.

I will pray for your discernment.
