Quote:
Matthew 3:16-17
“When He had been baptized, Jesus came up immediately from the water; and behold, the heavens were opened to Him, and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting upon Him. And suddenly a voice came from heaven, saying, ‘This is My beloved Son, in whom I (Father God) am well pleased.’ ”

BC, Remember to prove the trinity you must produce verses that say there are three co equal and co eternal persons each one of them God distinct from the other two.
Two problems with the Trinitarian understanding of this event. The obvious is that it would produce three Gods instead of one at the baptism.
The other is if Jesus was there that day as the second God person one might ask why would a God person need to be baptized in water? The Trins have no problem with God.....needing to be baptized in water?
The obvious answer here is that Jesus was being baptized AS A MAN. His God and Father in Heaven.....the only true God was well pleased and gave a manifestation of himself as a pure dove coming upon his human son.
