trinity is catholic apostasy

Jesus and the father are one
If Trinity is Apostasy, then according to you, Baptists, Amish, Mennonites, Lutherans, Anglicans, Reformed, Brethren of Christ, Seventh Day Adventists, Churches of God General Conference, Roman Catholics, Orthodox, Pentecostalism, United Methodists, many non-denominationals, and many others are all not Christians. That would leave the Christian population of the world somewhere under 100 million out of the 7 billion people on the Earth. Trinity has been accepted by many Christian Churches since the second century, and became official doctrine in the 3rd and 4th centuries.

Unitarianism is held as apostasy. Duologism, meaning two, the Father and Son alone, has been held as straight apostasy. Modalism, Arianism, and Partialism have all been held as heresy that means that one cannot commune with the denominations stated above, however, none say that those who hold these heresies are lost to Christ.

One God manifested three ways......

I am one person and yet I have....

1. A mind
2. A body
3. A spirit that makes me alive

Not hard to comprehend.........really!
This belief borders modalism and partialism.

Look a little further. God says, "We shall make man in our image." We are not made in the image of angels, so He was not speaking to them. There is only one other option if God is one. He is speaking in the unity of the trinity.

You said there are three persons that are God, and that Jesus' baptism proves that. No where in the Bible does it say that three persons are God. You misinterpret scripture. God is omnipresent. Jesus said in John 3.13 The Son of man, which is in heaven. At Jesus baptism you have one person God in the water, at the same time since he was omnipresent he was coming through the air, then he spoke from heaven. The Son of man, which is in heaven. It's not three. It is one.
Read Genesis the first chapter. God clearly ststes let us create man in our own image. Now God stated he created everything with his hands and in order for you to create something you have to be equal with God. Especially to create Man. So Jesus in his own right was God. Not to mention he was the Word. And John 1 states in the beginning was the Word, The Word was with God, and The Word was God. Now interperate. In the beginning was Jesus, Jesus was with God, and Jesus was God. Now the image of man is a body, head, and spirit. Thus Jesus is the body, God is the head, and the Holy Ghost is the Spirit. They are all God.

You are just ready to label anyone you don't agree with, that it makes you look like a complete idiot to anyone other than yourself! I an not in any way or shape a pantheism.

That would be pantheism...NOT Christianity...

I would not use that analogy to represent The Trinity....as the three parts to an egg are not the egg itself, but only a part of the egg.

Whereas each Person in The Trinity IS the One God, not merely a part of the One God.

See the difference, brother...?

Yes I do and thank you for pointing that out, so then water works better in three part sthey are all water, ice and stean are still water, thanks

Genesis 3:22 And the Lord God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:
