Funches, Your really confused and I doubt you really want to know if God is Trinity. First it's up to God's Spirit, the third person of God's Trinity to let you know this divine truth. You must really want to know this doctrine before God will let your mind become illuminated enough to see it. And if you humble yourself and pray before the God of all the earth then God will have mercy and open your eyes. In Genesis 1: 26 God said, " Let US make man in OUR image, after OUR likeness. " This is the TRINITY in the Old Testament. God doesn't have to prove anything to you or anybody. If you really want to know it's in the King James Bible right there in Genesis just like I showed you. Also I wrote a thread called," The Trinity in the Old Testament. " Go read it if your really interested. And it is my prayer you really want to know my friend.

For all the sceptics and scoffers here is old testament proof of the Trinity of God coming down to punish the inhabitants of Sodom and Gomorrah for homosexuality and other sins. God hates evil and He condemns sin. All of mankind after a certain time receives payment from God for their sins. It's a fact of life. God gives man a reasonable time to repent and turn away from sin but aftr that time is up then there comes a reckoning, a demand from God to punish unrepentant sin. Such is the case with Sodom and Gomorrah. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Prior to God's destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah we see the TRINITY arriving to Abraham. Gen.18:1 And the Lord appeared to him in the plains of Mam're: Verse 2 And he lifted up his eyes and looked, and lo, three men stood by him: The Lord predicts that Sarah will have a son. verse 10, The Lord knew the thoughts of Sarah. verse 13, 15. The Lord knows the future and informs Abraham. verse 17,18 and 19. Christ describes His punishment on Sodom and Gomorrah. verses 20-33 These attributes alone should suffice in the deity of Christ. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The Holy Spirit and Christ visit Lot to prepare to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah. Gen. 19:1 And there came two angels to Sodom at even; The wicked homosexuals attempted to break into Lot's home to rape and sodomize the two Angels and Lot also. verse 4-9. And the two men,( Christ and the Holy Spirit )blinded the eyes of the homosexual mob so much so they couldn't even find the door. verse 11. The two Angels pronounce judgement upon Sodom and Gomorrah. verse 13. Christ saves Lot and his two daughters out of the destruction. verse 15-23. A view of Christ and God working together. verse 24 Then the Lord rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the Lord out of heaven. Notice that both Christ on earth is called Lord as is God in heaven. Also you'll find that the Holy Spirit is always in the background but quiet. All three working together as one whole. Go back to see Christ use the plural( WE )( US ) in verse 13; " For We will destroy this place, because the cry of them is waxen great before the face of the Lord; and the Lord hath sent us to destroy it. " Remember that both Abraham and Lot both called the two angels Lord and now we see the Lord Christ calling God Lord. And that is because all three persons in the trinity are each God and Lord. This old Testament is just one of the countless proofs of the blessed Trinity of God alive forever more. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------So if your honest with your reading you'll find namely the Trinity involved in this operation. That is very evident as I've pointed out. Also you'll find justice in God visiting punishment and destruction on these two cities for the SINS of homosexuality almost exclusively. God does not like sin and His face is against it in it's many forms. And finally you'll see that even if the numbers are few that God goes after His people to save them as he did with Lot and his two daughters. God showed His love toward Lot and his daughters and saved them before the destruction.
