The doctrine of kenosis helps to discern the differences.

I've found our Lord and Savior Christ Jesus doesn't refer to Himself as God directly so as not to exalt His humanity, yet indubitably in John's Revelation He is surrounded by four 6-winged angels declaring Him as the one who was, who is and is to come. The seals are not able to be opened by any man, but the Lion of the Tribe of Judah, the Root of David is able to break the seals (the Son). He describes Himself as the Alpha and Omega. Pretty hard to deny the Deity of our Lord and Savior Christ Jesus from these passages. That doesn't mean Jesus is the Father, nor the Holy Spirit. Rather God reveals Himself to us in these threee person, yet they are each God and one.

Perhaps the criticisms of the Trinity reveal some past thinking independent of God which now bears out the sinner.

Perhaps you enjoy bending the knee to Baal instead of worshipping El Shaddai.

Or we can resist personal remarks...?
