I'm not Catholic. Nothing you said makes any sense to me. I read the Bible and interpret it as a spiritual being would, not a carnal man. John 1:1 tells me that in the beginning was the Word. The Word was with God, and the Word was God. Verse 14 says the Word became flesh and dwelt among us. The Word cannot be separate from God and still be God. This same "Word" became flesh and dwelt among us. These statements say that Jesus was God, God was Jesus, and the Word was God.

God revealed Himself to us in 3 forms, but He is still one God.

Trinity appears no where in Scripture. Trinity speaks of 3 separate Gods. Triune speaks of 3 forms of one God. If God was a Trinity, I suppose it makes it easier to worship Mary, John, Paul, Peter, and other saints. There is but one God and all our worship should be His.

How could Melchizedek, have no beginning and no end, be a High Priest forever, be the King of Salem, and have no genealogy? God appeared on earth in bodily form thousands of years before the birth of Christ. To a Jew, a King and a Priest cannot be the same person, unless He is in the order Melchizedek. Melchizedek was a theophany of Jesus or Jesus is not a High Priest forever. If He had no beginning or end, one could say Jesus was born of Mary and died on the cross so we should be looking to Melchizedek for salvation.

God is Spirit and can appear in whatever form He chooses. Was the burning bush God? No, God was in the form of a burning bush. Jesus is the fleshly form God took to be a final sacrifice for His people, but there is still but one God. If God is spirit, is the Holy Spirit God, or a part of God, or another God?

Not in 3 forms, in three persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit; the Blessed Trinity.

Perhaps from a nonCatholic then:

Modalism is probably the most common theological error concerning the nature of God. It is a denial of the Trinity. Modalism states that God is a single person who, throughout biblical history, has revealed Himself in three modes or forms. Thus, God is a single person who first manifested himself in the mode of the Father in Old Testament times. At the incarnation, the mode was the Son; and after Jesus' ascension, the mode is the Holy Spirit. These modes are consecutive and never simultaneous. In other words, this view states that the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit never all exist at the same time--only one after another. Modalism denies the distinctiveness of the three persons in the Trinity even though it retains the divinity of Christ.

Present-day groups that hold to forms of this error are the United Pentecostal and United Apostolic Churches. They deny the Trinity, teach that the name of God is Jesus, and require baptism for salvation. These modalist churches often accuse Trinitarians of teaching three gods. This is not what the Trinity is. The correct teaching of the Trinity is one God in three eternal coexistent persons: The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
