-Removed-Exactly. There is not one word in God's Holy Word about a trinity. There are dozens of scriptures that speak of God's oneness. The trinity theory did not come about until a couple hundred years after Christ's death and resurrection. Period.
Does, this matter for salvation? I hardly think so. Either belief brings salvation. God says so in John 3:16.
@sonship saidI believe that "the Triune God" and Jesus' divinity were convoluted doctrines generated in the decades and centuries after he was executed by the Romans for sedition by people seeking to create a cult-of-personality-based religion as a breakaway from Judaism, but I think it's OK if people buy into it and thereby find purpose and solace in life.
Just give me a simple clear answer:... that there is a unique Triune God, the Father, the Son, and the Spirit; that Jesus Christ is the Son of God incarnated to be a man;
Who definitely does not believe this sentence ?

-Removed-And what do you do king David...you mock.
No, I agree with you 100 percent; and no, I am not mocking you in anyway. I am a oneness believer who has had many battles with leaderships of trinity churches, and the leadership of my own Christian University that I graduated from, for the very reasons that you discussed above.
[John 14:8-11 NKJV] 8 "Philip said to Him, "Lord, show us the Father, and it is sufficient for us." 9 Jesus said to him, "Have I been with you so long, and yet you have not known Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; so how can you say, 'Show us the Father'? 10 "Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me? The words that I speak to you I do not speak on My own [authority]; but the Father who dwells in Me does the works. 11 "Believe Me that I [am] in the Father and the Father in Me, or else believe Me for the sake of the works themselves."

Don't you recognise that there's a Father, Son and the Holy Ghost?
Don't you recognise that's three subjects?
Don't you know that three subjects make a trinity?
Don't you know that the Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost is a Trinity?
Does that help?
You seem to derive great pleasure from ignoring Christ, accepting the teachings of men, and learning how to justify the false teachings of your church. Its a Satanic activity, in which I have no interest.
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." (John 1:1)
Is this merely a "teaching of men?"
Is it a teaching as a result of Satanic activity?
Is it the pet private doctrine of "my church"?
Now I believe that it is the word of God.
And I believe it plainly tells us that the Son of God is God.
The Word was with God, and the Word was God. And in verse 14 - "And the Word became flesh and tabernacled among us."
And again in chapter one -
No one has ever seen God; the only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, He has declared Him." (v.18)
The Word was God. The Word incarnated. The Word became flesh and was God's tabernacle among us. The Word is the Son of God who defined God, declared God, manifested God.
" ... ( and we behold His glory, glory as of an only Begotten from the Father), full of grace and reality." (v. 14b)
