I believe that Jesus was God manifested in flesh.

Gen. says the Word is God.

NT says that Jesus is the Word made flesh.

I believe in the Trinity of three distinct roles, but not in three distinct individuals.

Not a whole lot of interpretation in that one. I tried to find the exact scriptures for you, but it’s kind of late for that. But the bible says both of those statements.

stfassisi can most likely correct, but I believe this is known as Modalism or Sabellianism.

"Gen. says the Word is God."

It was the Gospel of John, not Genesis, that said; "In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God.". The actual word used was Logos, which in a Greek philosophical context means the rational principle that governs and develops the universe. In a theological context it means the divine word or reason incarnate in Jesus.

Peace be with you

[Cronos]

There is another argument as put forth by some who may think they are cool. that argument is that the Trinity is different "modes" of god, like steam-water-ice. This is negated by the scene of Christ's baptism.

to Levin's point, Multi-theism is wrong, Modalism (the first option) is also wrong as negated by the scene of Christ's baptism.
