There are many any other scriptures that explains god in the same way as has been discussed.
But your thought here only shows how unexplainable the trinity belief is and how confusing it is. 1Cor 14:33 th this trinity and it's many versions or concepts, how could anyone say they know him?

I agree that is it a little Hollywoodish. I thought it might help someone.
Now, I really don't want to go through another long debunking session with a student of Russell. But as a serious Bible student I learn not only what the Scriptures say but also
"Again" what the Scriptures say.
"And Jacob said to Joseph, The All-sufficient God appeared to me at Luz in the land of Canaan and blessed me." (Genesis 48:3)
Did God appear to Jacob?
Did he live afterward?
Thankyou.

Also the Bible says the "He is one God."
===============================
My little example did not contradict that there is one God.

=========================================
Paul in
Romans 8:9-11 does not seem at all confused. And many other passages do not seem confused for those who are in the enjoyment and experience of God.
Those who neglect the experience and enjoyment of God in favor of objective theology may end up mighty confused.
=====================================
1Cor 14:33 says he is a "God of order, not disorder."
====================================
And in the same book in the same general section on meetings and spiritual gifts, Paul also speaks this way:
"But there are distinctions of gifts, but the same Spirit;
And there are distinctions of ministries, yet the same Lord;
And there are distinctions of operations, but the same God, who operates all things in all." (1 Cor. 14:4-6)
Therefore the Apostle speaking of order also speaks of the Spirit, the Lord, and God the Father - the Triune God.
=======================================
But one the other hand Satan is a master of confusion and disorder. So how better to trick or blind the masses with a concept such as the trinity?
=====================================
The tactic of Satan is to distract the believers from the experience and enjoyment of the Triune God.
He doesn't care what you believe as long as you do not touch Christ, experience the Holy Spirit, and enjoy the Father, ie. live in the realm of the Triune God.
===================================
Other scriptures says "He will know his people and his people would know him."
With this trinity and it's many versions or concepts, how could anyone say they know him?
=====================================
How can they not say that they know the Father, the Son, and the Spirit, who enjoy and experiene God?
Paul speaks of the Christians knowing this indwelling Triune God in Romans 8:9-11. In fact he takes it for granted.
As well as in this passage also:
"The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all." (2 Cor. 13:14)
As well as he takes it for granted in this passage also:
"For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father, ... That He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with power through His Spirit into the inner man, that Christ may make His home in your hearts through faith ..." (Eph. 3:14-17)
Here the Father, the Spirit, and the Son are simultaneously operating to dispense God into man. Paul petitions the Father for this. And this is what man needs.
That is for the Trinity to wrought Christ into the beings of His believers.
