And if it's not his offspring, he does not call him "Son."
The Triune God is not a doctrine of the OT Jews.
I told you the truth about the use of "SON OF" being an heirship title in Jewish Traditions. If the father {say Benjamin is his name}, thought NONE of his sons were worthy to inherit his property and possessions; the father could literally name his servant, or a neighbor, or even the mailman as his rightful HEIR. From that very moment, according to Jewish LAW, that non-family member would have the LEGAL RIGHT to use the Title: Son of Benjamin, and Traditionally even the father would introduce him by that Title. That Custom existed for many centuries prior to Christ. AND IT IS LEGAL AND BINDING if there are two or three Witnesses to the Naming of the HEIR.
John 16:15 (HCSB)
[SUP]
15 [/SUP]
Everything the Father has is Mine. This is why I told you that He takes from what is Mine and will declare it to you.
Here is an example:
Joseph obviously had died before Jesus was crucified. While there is no direct verse that tells us which male inherited the property of Joseph, there is strong suggestive evidence that points to JESUS as the one who inherited the property of Joseph. NO MARY COULD NOT INHERIT IT. It was illegal for any woman to own property in Israel, it had to be another male.
John 19:25-27 (KJV)
[SUP]
25 [/SUP] Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary the
wife of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene.
[SUP]
26 [/SUP] When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, he saith unto his mother,
Woman, behold thy son!
[SUP]
27 [/SUP] Then saith he to the disciple,
Behold thy mother! And
from that hour that disciple took her unto his own home.
That is it, that is all that was required for JESUS to pass the heirship title to the property of Joseph on to John. AND HE MADE A POINT TO SHOW US THAT THERE WERE THE LEGALLY REQUIRED TWO OR THREE WITNESSES PRESENT. Thus from that very moment, John's LEGAL TITLE,
Son of Joseph gave him the LEGAL right to take over the property of Joseph, and even sell it if need be, to help support MARY. That really is the LAW in Israel.
If the father dies before he names a male heir, and the father has no sons, then the husband of one of the daughters, becomes the
SON of the father in TITLE. That is exactly what happened with Mary, her father
Joachim had no sons, THUS that is why Joseph's name shows up in Mary's genealogy list. Joseph became Son of Joachim by marriage, because Joachim had not named a male heir. So Joseph inherited all the property of Joachim.
And you thought studying Jewish Law was a waste of time.
OH, by the way the Trinity certainly is in the OT also, you have just blinded yourself to it.
Jeremiah 29:13 (ASV)

13 [/SUP] And ye shall seek me, and find me,
when ye shall search for me with all your heart.
Here is the company you keep, when you deny the Deity of Jesus Christ.
Romans 1:19-22 (NKJV)
[SUP]
19 [/SUP] because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown
it to them.
[SUP]
20 [/SUP] For since the creation of the world His invisible
attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made
(Jesus Christ is GOD the Creator - {Col. 1:16-19}),
even His eternal power and
Godhead, so that they are without excuse,
[SUP]
21 [/SUP] because,
although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened.
[SUP]
22 [/SUP] Professing to be wise, they became fools,
