God created Adam with two minds, the mind of his Soul and rhat of the Spirit of God who is in him to advice him to do good. Unfortunately the flesh after the disobedience was activated also to life, having a mind of evil. ROMANS 8:5-7
These three minds were working actively with Adam after he ate that forbidden fruit. God also creating us like Himself also has three minds. This is the reason He said; LET US.
If Adam still remained one Adam having three minds and you believe you are one not three, I also see no genuine reason to believe in the Trinity doctrine.

Maybe looking at it, as A account though not a chronological orderly account, not all think it's in prefect order..
Lk4:28 All the people in the synagogue were furious when they heard this.
Lk4:29 They got up, drove him out of the town, and took him to the brow of the hill on which the town was built, in order to throw him down the cliff.
Lk4:30 But he walked right through the crowd and went on his way.
Mk1:12 At once the Spirit sent him out into the desert,
Mt4:2 After fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry.
Mt4:3 The tempter came to him and said, "If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread."
Mt4:4 Jesus answered, "It is written: `Man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.'
After that later on.......
Lk12:51 Do you think I came to bring peace on earth? No, I tell you, but division.
Lk12:49 "I have come to bring fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled!
Lk12:50 But I have a baptism to undergo, and how distressed I am until it is completed!
Lk12:52 From now on there will be five in one family divided against each other, three against two and two against three.
Lk12:53 They will be divided, father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law."
Few things then.........
Mt3:13 Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to be baptized by John.

If that were true, there would have been no need for God to promise through the prophet Jeremiah and Ezekiel a New Covenant And with that New Covenant a new heart and a new spirit
Nor would there be a need for one to be born again
And certainly CHRIST would not have to breathe into HIS DISCIPLES saying RECEIVE THE HOLY SPIRIT, if in Adam, we already had the ability to know the fullness of GOD and HIS WAY
We didn't
and we couldn't
unltul CHRIST quickened us by HIS LIFE-GIVING SPIRIT

Who leads us to SPIRITUAL TRUTHS but THE SPIRIT of TRUTH
CHRIST said if I speak earthly and you can not understand. How can you understand when HE speaks heavenly things?
One can't unless they are born again
HE said MY WORDs are SPIRIT and they are life
And as it is written as per 1 Corinthians 1-3, no one can know the things of GOD that can only be known by HIS SPIRIT
It is THE SPIRIT in the believer (THAT WITNESS) who seeks the hidden things of GOD. And it is THE SPIRIT in the believer who reveals the hidden things of GOD

Jesus wasn't baptized by the HOLY SPIRIT when John water baptized HIM
If JESUS had not been made visible to John until after John water baptized HIM, John wouldn't have deterred from baptizing HIM
John saw THE SPIRIT already which is why he said, you cone to me to be baptized? But I should come to you
the angel Gabriel's account of "this HOLY thing to be born" is a correct account
HE was HOLY from the moment HE came forth from THE FATHER and into the world

CHRIST came into the world. Not only to show us THE FATHER, but to model for the sons of GOD the exact relationship a son of GOD is supposed to have with THE FATHER
We wil be tempted
but CHRIST has accomplished EVERYTHING for us!
so if Satan tempts us, trust and wait on THE LORD and do not move for all these temptations and trials will come in this imperfect world (in this world you will have trouble but take heart for I have overcome the world) but HIS GRACE is all the more sufficient!
and after we have been tried a little, we shall be purified and pruned and disciplined and laundered sob that our faith (more precious than gold though tried in the fire) will prove genuine
resting in and on HIM in all seasons
in seasons of sun
as well as in seasons of rain

Christ entered into all our sufferings for us so that HE might be for us THE ONE AND ONLY SOURCE of THIS GREAT SALVATION which is in HIM
Provided we REMAIN in HIM
It was necessary that THE AUTHOR and PERFECTER of our faith should be made PERFECT in suffering
HE came in our likeness (the flesh) because the children are of flesh and HE learned obedience by what HE suffered (not because HE wasn't obedient, but because HE had to walk in our humanity, HE had to suffer all things for us) so that HE might become for us a faithful and eternal HIGH PRIEST ministering to those who suffer that they may not lose faith but will wait by HOPE in HIM

He inherited his corrupted flesh typified as sinful from His mother the one (same kind)she received from Adam and Eve as the seeds of men. How do we know? Chrsit lived in a body of death that aged (birth to 33 years)in a process of decay, leading to sure destruction and returning to the dust from where it was formed of.
Corruption does not inherit the incorruptible .That why it is called a new and not a rebuilt or reconditioned spirit that will never die but will be raised on the last day, the rapture or second and final resurrection..
