No jaybird, you don't know what an argument from silence means. Here is what you originally said, "why is there not one time in the bible where the Most High is refereed to as a "they"? three persons is a they right?? always a "He" and always one."
So let me explain it to you. And btw, don't think I didn't notice how you changed the subject to this "witness" business. An argument from silence is where the conclusion is based on the absence of evidence, rather than the existence of evidence.
That is like saying, "why does not anyone in the book of Acts teach that Jesus Christ is God Almighty or that anyone in the book of Acts stated Jesus is God?" If in the Bible at another place like at the gospel of John where Jesus is identified as God then that would be evidence. What your doing is "isolating" one book, i.e Acts and saying "You see, Jesus is not God because the book of Acts does not say so."
Therefore, you logic us flawed because only positive assertions can possibly be proven. And since you made a negative assertion your the one that has to prove your assertion. Moreover, any rational thinking person would know this which you do not.

there are no examples of the Most High as they, there are many, many, many examples as Me, I, and Him yet not once as they. if I believed the Most High was a "they" that would bother me.
and yes Gen 6 mentions "us" but the scripture does not say this is the Most High speaking to the other persons within in Himself, which would make little sense as the Most High says there is no god within Him. its more likely He was speaking to whoever was up there when He created this place.

God who is Spirit, his Spirit is Holy, therefore his Spirit is the Holy Spirit, his Spirit is the Spirit that gives life, he is the Father, as all the above is one God singular, therefore God the Father is the only God, therefore there is no other, He is one, one is singular. God can not be split into a threesome God, if God could be split into a threesome, then God would be divided. God is one, period.
Please show us where Jesus DOES NOT teach the truth about the triune Godhead? One has to be wilfully blind to not recognize that when Jesus spoke about the Father, He made it crystal clear that He was in the Father, and the Father was in Him. He also said that anyone who had seen Him had seen the Father, and that He and the Father were one. He also said that Christians were to be baptized in the Name (singular) of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Then He said that before Abraham was I AM, and if ye believe not that I AM ye shall die in your sins. I AM is the name of the Almighty God.
Now this is Jesus speaking to the apostle John (Rev 1:8): I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.

What an "asinine" thing to say? You ask the question where in the Bible is the Trinity referred to as a "they." You then say here if they are a "they" I would not believe it? Let me put this another way. What if Jesus Christ actually said the words, " I am God," would you believe Him? Of course not so why are you wasting everybody's time with these "childish" questions?
