We all know the pope and a numbet of Cardinals are DS. I'm sure the cabal infiltrated the evangelical movement as well. If so, who would you suspect?
Olsteen? Rick Warren? Pat Robertson? Billy Graham?

All of them right down to your local pastors. The Jesuits infiltrated the seminarys long ago. Doctrine has been changed. Beware. Begin by researching the 'trinity.' I know, I'm stepping on toes here but before you attack, research and read the Bible. Nowhere is there a reference to a godhead made of 3. That's satan misleading us. Read John 17. If there were 3 persons to God, Jesus would have referenced it in his prayer that night.
I’m trying to understand what type of misleading you are referring to. Maybe this will help.
John 14:23 Jesus answered him, “If anyone loves me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him.
What do you do with this verse? To be specific, do you understand the end of the verse “come to him and make our home with him” to mean the Holy Spirit indwelling someone who has been born again?
This is a serious question: does the Father sending the Holy Spirit require that there be a trinity?
No, but the conception of God into human form does.
Harmonizing the related verses is what leads to this concept that gets explained as the trinity. I think you get the point I was making of connecting the dots of what is in the Bible.
For reference, Deut 6:4; Mt 28:18-20; John 1:1-2; 14:23-26; 1 Cor 12:4-7; 2 Cor 13:14 (v13 in some translations) 1 Pet 1:2 are some of the verses. Bible dictionaries have all this and more under the entry for “trinity”.
To the original point of this thread: people in church history taking the trinity concept beyond what scripture says doesn’t invalidate what the scripture says. I asked the questions that I did because I’m assuming the original poster already knows all of this and is making a different point specific to the word godhead, but I could be wrong.
Simplest answer, with corollary that it's all beyond our limited understanding, there must be three- the Holy Spirit came upon a virgin to have her conceive the Son of God, who is God the Word made flesh. There is only one God, how can three beings exist in a heirarchy separately? Can't. So, they are three persons, one Divinity.
I'm not saying there is not a Holy Spirit. I'm saying it is not a separate person of God. It is the spirit of God. Just as you have a spirit, it is part of you. Not a separate person.
Interesting that the bible and Jesus refer to the Spirit separately, then. He said he'd send His Paraclete. Not His Father. The Spirit of the Lord visited the Virgin Mary, I'm thinking isn't a euphemism for something else. The Spirit descended like a dove at the Baptism, and again like tongues of flame at the Pentecost. Not named simply as the Lord like at the burning bush, not an angelic messenger like at the tomb, but the Spirit. No other "part" of God is called out like this. But it's cool, if you're meant to find the Trinity, I'm sure you'll find it, and if you're not, then you're not. I'm not giving it up, tho.
