I'm not a Catholic. They translate the bible that they use from the Vulgate, which is a manuscript written in Latin. The KJV is translated from the Greek Textus Receptus. The New Testament was written in Greek originally, because that was the main language of the Roman empire at the time. It's a common misconception that most people spoke Latin at the time, but it wasn't common outside of Rome.
The Jews will also tell you that they don't believe the old testament. Call ten Rabbis, from different denominations of Judaism. None of them believe it. They don't even believe the Torah which is the first five books written by Moses. The best I have ever heard from a Jew was that the Old Testament is a good Metaphor.
And if you read the old Testament, the trinity is mentioned several times, and Jesus Christ appears in bodily form several times. The trinity is not only found in the new testament.
Im aware that the NT was originally written in Koine Greek.
Yet Jesus and his Apostles are said to have spoken Aramaic. It seems odd that the original text would not have been written in Jesus' native tongue. It also seems odd that the NT was written, at the earliest, in 52 AD. Twenty years after Jesus died, why wouldn't they write it down immediately if it was Gods word? Moses did. Furthermore, write down a conversation you had with someone 20 years ago, verbatim.
The earliest known complete list of the 27 books of the New Testament is found in a letter written by Athanasius, a 4th-century bishop of Alexandria, dated to 367 AD. (wiki / new testament)
The Nag Hammadi manuscripts date from the 3rd and 4th centuries. James Robinson suggests that these codices may have belonged to a nearby Pachomian monastery and were buried after Saint Athanasius condemned the use of non-canonical books in his Festal Letter of 367 A.D. (wiki / nag hammadi)
Is this a coincidence that earliest verified date for both the New Testament and the Gnostic's Nag Hammadi have the exact same date?
There is a theory that the Flavian Dynasty along with Josephus wrote the NT in 70 AD and back dated the scripture to 1 AD. In a further attempt to stomp out Judaism after the destruction of the temple in 70 AD.

That is a very strong statement, that no Jew believes the OT. So the Israelis risk life and limb over a Metaphor? I don't believe you.

The arguments for the Trinity (see wiki Trinity / Old Testament Parallels) in the OT are extremely weak. The Trinity is Father, Son, Holy Ghost (spirit) not three men, not two men, not wisdom , not two angels, ect. You even stated, "God has three components, that make up one being." Not three separate beings or two separate beings .
I'll agree that a messiah is mentioned in the OT in prophecy. Not in "bodily form" and not by the name Jesus Christ. I see that as further proof that the Flavian used the prophecy of a messiah to strengthen their propaganda and give it a basis.
