Well, obviously you would see all three as I do, if you were not denying that Jesus is the Son of God and the Second Person of the Godhead.

Your logic, dear sir, is heavily flawed. When three persons are present, the one counting, being one of the three, does not exclude himself when asked to report who all is present but includes himself in the count. So why would Jesus, in this account, not be included?

"And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway from the water: and lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending as a dove, and coming upon him; and lo, a voice out of the heavens, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased."​
​
Additionally, what mere human, has ever had this occur after being baptized. NO ONE! Thus, this proves that Jesus Christ was no mere human being. Also, what human being has ever had this said about him?​
Mat 3:14 But John would have hindered him, saying, I have need to be baptized of you, and you come to me? ​

You really need to get up to speed on this buddy.
The triunity of God is just .....everywhere. Its indisputable.
And just because we cannot fully comprehend Their fullness hardly makes it less true.
The triune God is infinite BTW. And we, as finite creatures, will NEVER fully comprehend Them.

Gen 1:26
And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness:

Isa 48:16
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.

Mat 3:16
And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him:
Mat 3:17
And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

I believe in the Bible as the inspired Word of God, but nowhere is the idea of a triune God taught, only manmade interpretations.

One on the most important passages in all the Bible.....

Gen 3:22 - And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of US, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:

Affirming how Adam is a type of Christ.

Revelation is progressive and doctrine develops.

Yes, it certainly is up until the last book. The names given for God were progressive as was doctrine. I just wanted to point out that the essential truth of Who God is, was mentioned early, even in the OT. One of the other members was mistaken implying that it was a teaching invented by "the church."

Doctrine develops, yes ... however, once we have proven it to be Truth ... it stays Truth.

Interesting Truth stands alone. It doesn't have to be proven. Truth is only suppressed by those who are wicked.
