The Trinitarian view is the only view that fits all the statements in the Holy Bible. For example, the following link shows the problems with modalism:

Not in the Bible once, and yet you choose you still use the term and with a captital T, interesting.
That is correct. I still refer to our wonderful "Triune God" .
You don't have to.
There is ONE God irrespective of our interpretation.
That is why we say "Triune God [singular] ".
You don't have to use such speech.
Three gods is paganism. We each must make our own decisions I suppose.
Thank the Lord I do not believe in three gods.
"Hear oh Israel the LORD your God is ONE."
Amen. And Amen.
"And God said, Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness ... And God created man in HIS own image ..." (See Gen. 1:26,27)
"Jesus answered and said to him, If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word, and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make an abode with him." (John 14:23)
Praise the Lord for the wonderful Triune God.
You don't have to use the phrase is you prefer not.

Aren't each of them a God according to your dogma; which one do you pray to?
Are you the prayer police now ?
Paul prayed to the Father (Eph. 3:14) -"For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father, ... that He would grant you ..." .
But praise the Lord, Paul also petitioned the Son of God too.
"Concerning this I entreated the Lord three times ..." (2 Cor. 12:8)
So I pray to the Father. I also pray to the Lord Jesus, the Son, like the Apostle Paul did.
There is only ONE God in the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

Seeing all the beating you're getting in the other thread about homosexuality and in this thread about the Trinity, my first thought is maybe you should give it a rest for a while. I know we are commanded to "spread the Good Word", but this is just pearls before swine, my friend. If you can sway even one of these, you are doing the Lord's work, but I'm afraid most here are beyond convincing. I know, I know, we always come back to it because we feel the need to at least expose everyone to the truth. But taking a "frustration break" is not a bad thing. It clears the mind wonderfully, and allows us to "re-connect".
Kudos for your efforts and your patience. Not sure I'd have the same patience, but that's my failing. I'm just saying, taking a break to recharge the batteries does help a lot. It also makes the jackals focus on something besides your backside for a while. 😵
