Islam has only One god, the Jews have only one God.
Why is it that that mainstream Christianity has god the Father, god that Son and god the Holy Spirit and these three gods are really only one god?
The Christians would just be a sect of Judaism if they didn't have a differentiation in Gods... if they just worshipped GodAlmighty. Despite what Christians say about a trinity, they worship three gods and are viewed by Jews and others as worshipping three gods despite their tortuous explanations to the contrary.
I hear the trinity is a catholic thing that was retained by the protestants when they parted from the catholic church. I'm a deist, I don't believe God is a trinity.
The definition of the Trinity is this: God, who is one and unique in his infinite substance or nature, is three really distinct persons, the father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The one and only God is the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. God the Father is not God the Son, but generates the Son eternally, as the Son is eternally begotten. The Holy Spirit is neither the Father nor the Son, but a distinct person having his divine nature from the Father and the Son by eternal procession. The three divine persons are co-equal, co-eternal, and consubstantial. So, here we do not have three gods, rather, one God.
John 1:1-3 1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. KJV
1 John 5:7 7For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. KJV

Yes, the Catholic Church first formally defined the doctrine of the Trinity, however that doesn't necessarily make it a Catholic thing. There are many doctrines that Catholics and non-catholic Christians hold in common. I don't know too many Protestants that would like having those doctrines called Catholic things.
Well it is a matter of what one calls the "catholic church" there was only a christian church in the early church, The bishops of both east and west, what is now know as the catholic and orthodox churches were all involved. At this point and time while both the Catholic and the Orthodox can follow thier roots back to these early coucils, these are merely christian and were keep for centuries and the basic tennants of Christianity is fairly widely accepted

There are a few verses in the KJV bible that are not found in the Greek manuscripts. 1 John 5:7 is one of them.
