JAPOV, your comment has nothing to do with either what I said or the Trinity. Jesus is the SON of God. That's how the Apostles referred to Him. As to John 1:1, 2...see American Translation by Smith and Goodspeed and Moffat's.
Remember, the Trinity is THREE Persons in one. No verse describes such a teaching.
I'd recommend you read my books. Or at least confirm both Scripturally and historically what the co-equal, co-eternal Triune Godhead doctrine is.
Ps...Regarding the Gospel writers, Luke researched his account thoroughly. (Luke 1) It was his stated reason for writing Luke and Acts that Theophilus would be convinced of the Gospel. Jesus is referred to as "Son of the Most High" (Luke 1:30-32) and as a "prophet" by Cleopas after His resurrection. (Luke 24) Luke never describes anything remotely like a Trinity.
John specifically states at the end of his account that he wrote it that we may believe Jesus is the Son of God. (John 20:31).
That was the entire purpose of the Gospels, historical accounts of the Son of God, Jesus Christ. They DID have something to prove. That was their assignment. (Acts 1:8)
Yahweh is God, Jesus is His only-begotten Son, and Holy Spirit is exactly what the words mean in Hebrew and Greek, sacred wind, or the power of God. (Luke 11:20, New Living Translation)
