Almonte,
See my thread here about the Trinity foreshadowed in the Old Testament, read it carefully ....
Also did you know, the most strongest scripture in the ENTIRE Bible that says that God is TRIUNE is in the Old Testament?
Did you know that?

Also, We beleive that God is triune, and that God has three persons, whats so hard about this? Muslims always go around claiming that God is all-knowing and stuff, whats so hard to understand about this?
God's will was to reveal himself in three persons in the New Testament, are you not aware that God has different plans?
Why do you think that there was such a thing as the Old Testament first, and then God made a New Covenant inthe New Testament? Why was that Necessary, why Could Jesus not be born straight after Eve and finish things quickly?
Because God has a different plan, he has a will, and he knows best. Its not paganistic, God revealed himself in the New Testament that he has three persons. Just like until Moses people didn't know Gods name, but God revealed himself to Moses that he was the Great "I AM" ... YHWH, at the RIGHT TIME.
