The Scriptures that you claim implies a trinity can be explained in other ways, ways that do not require a doctrine that comes from pagan sources.

Funny how scripture that you disagree with, like Jesus' baptism, can be explained in other ways, and scripture that you agree with, like "baptizing in the name of Jesus", can only be read one way.
That's a pretty sure sign of cherry picking.

The difference being there is no Scripture that says God is a trinity, while baptism in Jesus name is taught in several places.

I have typed on Genesis 1:26 before. The "us" is God and the angels.
1 John 5:7 and Matthew 28:19 are both questionable verses. Even if allowed, neither one says "God is three persons", which would contradict the Bible's teaching of one God.

Where do you get the "angels" are creators with God? They're not, God created the "angels."

true jew, you do not completely understand the mystery of the Incarnation but accept it. Why do you not do the same in regards to the mystery of the Blessed Trinity?

Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over. (Genesis 1:26 NIV)

Your question on Genesis 1:26 is answered in my previous post.

Well, you answered it incorrectly because you can't say "Let US make mankind in OUR image" really means "Let ME make mankind in MY image, and you guys stand around and watch."

Semantically, Genesis 1:26 specifically states that there is more than one creator. Not one creator + one or more observers.

It has been the Jewish answer to your question for thousands of years.
If a teacher writes a question on the board and tells the class "let's try this answer" does the whole class write the answer on the board or was it only the teacher doing the writing.

Again, your answer is not valid. If the passage said "Let us make mankind in my image", then your example might be appropriate, but that isn't what it says. Your problem isn't the first plural, but the second, unless you think that mankind was made in the image of angels.

According to the Scripture, angels were also created in the image of God.
Again, those who wrote the verse were non-trinitarian, monotheists. They do not see a trinity there.
