Sonship can't answer the question with a yes because he knows he can't honestly prove that the trinity is a bible fact.
A point to consider from Jesus himself on his position with his father are in these scriptures in John. If Jesus were indeed an equal part of God himself, a statement like this by him would never have been made but he clearly expressed that they are different beings. These sayings in the scriptures that Jesus spoke of were from God his Father only, not from Jesus. Yet another example that shows if Jesus were truly the same being as his Father, he would have said so, but he is expressing his submissive none equal status to him.
John 7:14-18:
"14 When the festival was half over, Jesus went up into the temple and began teaching. 15 And the Jews were astonished, saying: “How does this man have such a knowledge of the Scriptures when he has not studied at the schools?” 16 Jesus, in turn, answered them and said: “What I teach is not mine, but belongs to him who sent me.l 17 If anyone desires to do His will, he will know whether the teaching is from God or I speak of my own originality. 18 Whoever speaks of his own originality is seeking his own glory; but whoever seeks the glory of the one who sent him, this one is true* and there is no unrighteousness in him."

Anyone interested in seeing Divegeester attempt to embarrass me because of my association with the local churches, I would simply suggest that they read through this thread from the beginning.
Poor Divegeester still dreams of somehow causing me some difficulty because of publications authored by the co-workers of the local churches in the US.
Anyone besides FMF or Divegeester who needs me to clarify anything, just ask me. But be very specific. I'll try.
(I said anyone besides FMF and Divegeester)
@sonship saidYou are now changing the words you used.
@FMF
I didn't say you ever did ask me to explain the trinity.
I just said anyone besides you or Divegeester should ask a specific question, I'd try to help. Seems simple enough.
Actually what you said was "Anyone besides FMF or Divegeester who needs me to clarify anything, just ask me."
Why would you pretend that I might suddenly ask you to "clarify" the "Trinity"?
Why would you insinuate that I might suddenly do so today after a dozen years of interacting with you?

Divegeester wants to cloud the issue.
I invite anyone to read through this thread from the beginning.
Especially look of a "Yes" or a "No" with some qualifying discussion written by me to address his question/s.
Lastly I wrote:

@sonship saidI put a couple of links about the trinity on this thread, but dive said he didn't care he only wanted to call you out if I remember his response correctly, so I don't think the trinity is the real reason for this thread he wanted an excuse not an answer.
