The triune God concept is a creation of the Council of Nicea. All Roman and Greek deities were triune in nature, so it was an easy way to woo the masses into the new government sanctioned religion of Christianity. The brutality of the leadership of the Roman church, and its government authority insured that much of its doctrine would be "the law of the land."
However, not a single Jewish Christian was on the Council. A bunch of white, European guys who NEVER LIVED according to Torah were now in charge of its interpretation. While I grew up being taught these same doctrines, I eventually discovered the fallacy. Only by rejecting the Council's doctrine can one eliminate the seemingly contradictory parts of the Bible.
Isaiah 28:9-11 tells us we must build our understanding of the Word upon previous statements. Too many people start their study at Matthew. They decide on a meaning of a verse in the NT and search the OT for a verse that supports their opinion. The proper way to interpret the Bible is to understand the beginning, and then build understanding "line upon line," not the other way around.
In EVERY letter he writes Paul says "grace and peace to you from God the Father and his Son Jesus Christ." Never is the "holy spirit" mentioned as a "3rd person." God is a spirit, and he is holy. He is the holy spirit. The manifestation, or "Word" (Aramaic - "miltha") of him is the physical body Yeshua. The pillar of cloud, the man with whom Jacob wrestled, "the word of the LORD" that appeared in dreams and visions to the patriarchs were ALL the Messiah.
Yeshua said, "These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me." The Law, the prophets and the psalms NEVER suggest that God is triune. The ALL teach that YHVH is one, and he is a spirit, and his manifestation is Messiah.
I am a father, grandfather, teacher, director, care-giver, and student. But, I am just one person. Mark 12:29, Deuteronomy 6:4. Zech 14:9
No mention of a 3rd person here. 1 Cor 8:6
Outside the physical universe YHVH is a Spirit. Inside the physical universe YHVH is Yeshua.
