By continually claiming there to be 3 gods in the trinity when it has been explained to you many times indicates that you do not understand and apparently are unwilling to accept what the doctrine of the trinity actually is. This is what appears to be causing so much of the mis-understanding - you are arguing against the Mormon perspective of God, which is that the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit are 3 gods. That is not the Christian viewpoint.

That is why you think something was missing when those who understand what scripture says about the trinity relaize that nothing was missing. If you want to argue the "missing person" theory, find a Mormon to argue this with.

Isa. 48:16-17 “Come ye near unto me, hear ye this; I have not spoken in secret from the beginning; from the time that it was, there am I: and now the Lord GOD, and his Spirit, hath sent me.
Thus saith the LORD, thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; I am the LORD thy God which teacheth thee to profit, which leadeth thee by the way that thou shouldest go.”
This is speaking of God and His Spirit as well as the Son of God, all three of these I believe in.
What I do not accept as scriptural is that they are all three gods and that they all three equal the one true god. This is the issue.

If Christ is “god the son” give me one text that states this phrase?
Also if Christ is god then explain why being god would he be given power, glory, honor etc. I mean God according to the scriptures is all-powerful, all knowing etc. yet Christ was given things, why would he be given anything?

I asked if you could tell me who the three persons are in this passage. Will you answer that, I'd be happy to move on and discuss other points. I believe that this will help you to understand that the doctrine of the trinity is in the Bible.

Please answer that question.
