As you can see there are people that even when they cry out "lord, lord" Jesus will reject them and say that they are evil doers.

This is reference to "the hour". No 1 will no except the father. This means that father and son are not the same meaning we would count this as 2.

Clearly states that there is 1 God and that Jesus is a mediator

States that by hiself he can do nothing which shows weakness which God has none.
What is the will of the Father?
Answer: John 6:40-And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.

Jesus questioned person on calling him good and stated "no 1 is good except God alone"
This simply dissociates Jesus with God yet again

please note that God cannot be tempted
www.biblegateway.com...:1-11
This then shows that Jesus was tempted. Clearly showing that he is unlike the "God that cannot be tempted"
But why is he called son of God?

"I have chosen him to be a son to Me, and I will be a father to him"
Clearly Solomon is chosen to be son of God in this passage and therefore negates Jesus from having the superior status of God.
Yes, the Trinity is real and backed by scripture:
Life?
You two are crying because I said the trinity isn't biblical... its not...
How am I "in attack mode" for telling the truth?
Not at all... I simply dislike error in theology...

If the bible is infallible it should contain no contradictions.The trinity contradicts many verses, and is very confusing. Ask 100 Christians to explain the Trinity and you can get 100 different answers. And all 100 will swear it makes since to them. This alone should prove the Trinity is not found in the bible.
Faith Groups that Reject the Trinity
• Muslims
• Mormons
• Jehovah's Witnesses
• Christian Science
• Scientology
• Arians
• Armstrongism
• Christadelphians
• The Way International
• Unification Church
The Trinity has become the main doctrine that all the cult groups attack. It is also the main doctrine that all the mainline, historic churches agree upon. We may all have our differences, Catholics and varying Protestant groups, but when it comes to the doctrine on God we all agree that the Bible teaches belief in One God revealed in three persons, as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Nevertheless we would not want to believe in the Trinity if the Bible did not teach it, no matter what the beliefs of our various churches were.
It's interesting that the cult groups usually give their members a false definition of the Trinity. For example, the magazine salesmen knocking on your door with their propaganda from Brooklyn, New York, say that the church teaches that there are three gods in one. This is completely false.
IS THE TRINITY TRUE?
Virtually all non-Christian cults (esp. Oneness believers and Jehovah’s Witnesses) reject the doctrine of the Trinity and teach that the early church had no such concept of a triune God, but rather they held to a unitarian concept of God (i.e., God existing as one Person).
So vast is the evidence that the early church envisaged a tri-personal God and not a unitarian or unipersonal deity to which groups such as Oneness Pentecostals (as well as Muslims, Jews, and JWs) hold, that Oneness writers such as William B. Chalfant make desperate attempts to convince Oneness believes that the early church Fathers were really modalists (Oneness):
The Trinity and the Early Church: Debunking the Oneness Myth
Theophilus was the first to define the Trinity in the second century as G-d, G-d's word, and G-d's wisdom. In the third century, Tertullian re-defined it as the contemporary Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, demonstrating the transition in the early church away from the aggressive monotheism of Judaism.
Which church father formalized the doctrine of the Trinity?
Many who attack the Trinity argue that the word isn't in the Bible so it can't be true. Well it is true, the word “Trinity” isn’t found in the Bible. A similar argument is used by theological modernists who assert that the term “homosexual” is a modern word that didn’t exist at the time the Bible was written, therefore the Bible can’t condemn homosexuality. I think most people will agree that the Bible STILL condemns homosexuality, even thought this particular English word wasn’t used in the Greek or Hebrew texts.
Interestingly, the word “pornography” is similarly absent from Scripture, but we are still able to view the biblical teachings on sexual morality, coupled with Jesus’ teaching that a man who looks at a woman with lust commits adultery with her in his heart to recognize that pornography is sinful. The word “theocracy” is not found in the Bible, but the concept can be found there. The absence of a word does not preclude its teaching in Scripture.
The word "Trinity" isn't in the Bible
Source: Trinity Pamphlet
Although the words “holy trinity” are not found in the Bible, the Bible both Old and New Testaments – clearly refers to the one God as a tri-unity – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

The teaching of the Church from the first century onward has always been trinitarian. The first Gospel, Saint Matthew, clearly establishes the trinitarian nature of God, especially in the baptismal formulae of the "great commission."
Paul's companion, Saint Luke, and his Gospel and the Acts which clearly teach trinitarian doctrine can only lead a believer to conclude any denial of the Trinity is clear and complete heresy. To wait two hundred years to deny the Trinity is just foolish heresy - clumbsy work of Satan at his sloppiest.
Confessional's Bytes: The Modern Day Modalists—Part I
In doing so they embrace modalism, a heresy that was condemned by the Synod of Smyrna in a.d. 200. The Nicene and Athanasian creeds also condemn modalism. If Jesus is the Father, why then does Jesus refer to the Father and the Holy Spirit in manner that distinguishes them from Himself, if they are merely “expressions” or “manifestations” of himself. Once again, this scripture makes no sense if one adheres to oneness doctrine. It could only be explained away with poor exegesis. In fact, there are more than 60 new testament verses alone mentioning the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit in the same verse!
