If you check Scripture and even the Apostles Creed, there is no support for a Trinity of persons. Further, Jesus Christ never taught that -- ever. Don't accuse me of attacking the Heavenly Father.

The whole Trinity of persons was hatched by the Nicean Council. The whole of the Athanasian Creed would be correct except for the plural of person.

God has revealed the Trinity through His Word, through my thinking in faith in Him by His Word and by the indwelling of all three persons of the Godhead in the believer. If you are not a believer, then soulish thinking is merely the natural tendancy to account for these things which have been reported to you. We also may want to be aware that the malevolent deceiver may actually speak to us supernaturally attempting to counterfeit as a revelation from God. The Adversary and other fallen angels sometimes seek to be worshipped as God themselves. God, though, in eternity past has prepared a plan for each of us. Through faith in Christ, we are able to have a relationship with Him on His terms. Each believer is on equal status before the Lord in our regenerated spirit. We all have access and are priests to Him through Christ. This is a facet of our relationship with God which isn't counterfeitable by Artificial Intelligence. AI cannot regenerate the spirit. There is only one name under heaven as our Messiah it that is of our Lord and Savior Christ Jesus. The whole Trinity of persons was hatched by the Nicean Council. The whole of the Athanasian Creed would be correct except for the plural of person. Interestingly, an eight year old girl who simply is communicated a portion of His Word, who thinks about only one of the three persons of the Godhead, and places Christ as her object of her thinking, a simple faith stretching just a little more than absolutely no faith at all, may then have a regenerated spirit, and born again into newness of life, having an eternal relationship with God established by Him and not able to be produced by any other.

Groups such as the those who developed the Nicene Creed, may have indeed recognized the Trinity, but then again any student of Scripture, who simply takes in His Word, thinking it, through faith in Him (after confession and turning away from sin for the believer) is now available for God the Holy SPirit to grow and sanctify both the believer's thinking (soul) and his spirit to understand the Trinity per His pace. I discern your posts are spoken as though from one who has no relationship with God, yet speaks from a soulish perspective. They might also simply be those of one who seeks to malevolently deceive, or one who lacks knowledge and has fallen into a form of arrogance. In either case, even more blessed are those who write through faith in Him.
