Subject: Trinity?
So I started reading about Todd White, which lead me to another false teacher you mentioned, then to the Trinity. I noticed you take a hard line against it. Implying that it’s a false teaching and saying that the scriptures used to validate it aren’t found until later on, which I’m sure you’re talking about 1 John 5:7 where the Bible says, “For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one” which came about after the “Council of Nicaea” in 325AD so I wanted to ask a few questions regarding some scriptures.
Matthew 3:17 “And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased”
Matthew 17:5 ” While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.
Like verses in Mark, Luke etc.
Additionally, Acts 7:55-56; Romans 8:34; Ephesians 1:20; Colossians 3:1; Hebrews 1:3, 8:8, 10:12,12:2; 1 Peter 3:22, Revelations 3: 21; Matthew 22:44; Acts 2:33
Which all talk about Jesus sitting at the right hand of God. How’s that possible unless they’re different entities within One, such as the Trinity suggest?
Furthermore, in 1 John 2:1 “My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:”
This is a description as I’m sure your well aware of like a court room setting. We have a judge (the Father) the lawyer (Jesus Christ) and The Offender (us, as sinners). In all these instances, Jesus is spoken of separately, apart from the Father. Is that not correct?

Jock, read both sections below (I’ve removed duplicate postings) – all your questions and more are answered:
The Trinity
The Asininity of the Trinity
By Any Other Name, It’s Still the Trinity: And It Smells Bad
The Carnal Reasonings of a Trinitarian
Diabolical Doctrine: The Trinity (God Is Three Persons)
The Gospel According to Trinitarians
The Perfecting Faith of the Son of God
The Wisdom of God Trumps Trinitarian Tricksterism
You Can’t Explain What You Don’t Know: And You Can’t Know What You Don’t Have
Jesus Christ Is God
Could Jesus Christ Have Sinned?
Jesus Christ: A Great Man or Jehovah God?
Jesus Christ, Almighty God
The Most Glorious of Truths
The Son of Man and His Mission in the Israel of God
“Who Do Men Say that I Am?”
Worshipping Christ as God
“You Worship You Know Not What…”
And while this is said in the writings, I’ll say here that when God gave Himself a body, He became fully human like us (except without sin), in order to be our Savior, our Mediator with God. Jesus had a separate consciousness as a man in the flesh, yet He was perfectly one with the Father, and returned to His place as the Father of spirits, our Creator. Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. We cannot be made complete in God except through Him.
“Who declared it of old? Was it not I, the LORD? And there is no other god besides me, a righteous God and a Savior; there is none besides Me” (Isaiah 45:21 ESV).
