G*D is not a trinity. The origin of the trinity is ancient Babylon.
Scripture says G*D is 1
Devarim - Deuteronomy - Chapter 6:4 Hear, O Israel: The Lord is our God; the Lord is one.
Queen Semiramis of Babylon became known as "Ishtar" which is pronounced "Easter". Semiramis claimed that she was immaculately conceived.
She taught that the moon was a goddess that went through a 28 day cycle and ovulated when full.
She further claimed that she came down from the moon in a giant moon egg that fell into the Euphrates River.
This was to have happened at the time of the first full moon after the spring equinox, her moon egg became known as "Ishtar's" egg."
Ishtar soon became pregnant and claimed that it was god that caused her to conceive.
The son that she brought forth was named Tammuz.
Tammuz was noted to be especially fond of rabbits, and they became sacred in the ancient religion, because Tammuz was believed to be the son of god. The day came when Tammuz was killed by a wild pig.
Queen Ishtar told the people that Tammuz was now ascended to his father, and that the two of them would be with the worshipers as Father, Son and Spirit.
Ishtar, who was now worshiped as the "Mother of God and Queen of Heaven"
The queen told the worshipers that when Tammuz was killed by the wild pig, some of his blood fell on the stump of an evergreen tree, and the stump grew into a full new tree overnight. This made the evergreen tree sacred by the blood of Tammuz.
She also proclaimed a forty day period of time of sorrow each year prior to the anniversary of the death of Tammuz.
During this time, no meat was to be eaten.
Worshipers were to meditate upon the sacred mysteries of the Father, Son and Spirit, and to make the sign of the "T" in front of their hearts as they worshiped.
They also ate sacred cakes with the marking of a "T" or cross on the top.
Every year, on the first Sunday after the first full moon after the spring equinox, a celebration was made.
It was Ishtar's Sunday and was celebrated with rabbits and eggs.
Ishtar also proclaimed that because Tammuz was killed by a pig, that a pig must be eaten on that Sunday.
Sola Scriptura Christians have a bit of trouble over the doctrine of the Holy Trinity because all of the doctrine is not supported by just Holy Scripture. Holy Apostolic Tradition is also involved.
The doctrine of the Holy Trinity states there is one true God who is made up of three separate but equal persons, the Father, the Son (Jesus Christ), and the Holy Spirit.
The Bible does not contain the word Trinity. However, the Holy Trinity is hinted at repeatedly in both the Old and New Testaments. For many biblical references, see: http://www.cwo.com/~pentrack/catholic/Trinity.txt
Under the influence of the Holy Spirit, the early Christians prayed and struggled over these hints for a couple of centuries. The concept of the Holy Trinity (three equal persons in one God) was mainstream Christianity in 325 C.E. at the Council of Nicaea and our belief is expressed in the Nicene Creed.
How this works is not fully known and is one the Christian mysteries.
The doctrine of the Holy Trinity is shared by most Christian denominations including Roman and Orthodox Catholics, Lutherans, Anglicans, Baptists, Methodists, Presbyterians, Pentecostals, Episcopalians, and the Salvation Army.
The major non-Trinitarian churches are Christadelphianism, Christian Science, Jehovah’s Witnesses, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Arian Catholicism, Unitarianism, Nontrinitarianism, and Oneness Pentecostals.
Complicated and Incomprehensible things can be true, but honestly I think the trinity is just a bad attempt to explain Jesus apparent schizophrenia when you believe he was god AND believe he prayed to god.

Imagine you are a flying spear. What are three main things in this situation? They are:
1. The body of the flying spear.
2. The direction, in which the spear is moving.
3. The movement of the spear itself.
Number three is the symbol of expanding and dynamic spiritual Universe.
How can a symbol be true or wrong?
Concerning why preachers can't get it right...Because they are constricted by rules of christian thinking and are afraid to become heretics.
But we are NOT afraid of fire, are we?

With love in Christ.
It was a made up concept that even the inventors couldn't get right.
Verily I say unto thee, the Jesus story is a myth.

It is because they don't know what they are talking about. Trinity is not true because it is men's silly ideas.
Complicated and Incomprehensible things can be true, but honestly I think the trinity is just a bad attempt to explain Jesus apparent schizophrenia when you believe he was god AND believe he prayed to god.
What's so complicated dude, your like trying to wipe a dead horse.
Well if complicated things can't be true, then gravity is fake, dna is fake, and many other things are fake.
