You are relying on more than scripture.Don't need a history lesson, I have scripture.
No, that has never been true.That GOD is a triune unity of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit is all throughout scripture.
It took 300 years after the crucifixion for the doctrines of men to read their ideas that the Father and the Son are a Binity (two in one).
It took another 50 years for the Holy Spirit to be added to the Binity to form a Trinity (three in one).
The process is called eisegesis.
Eisegesis is the process of interpreting a text or portion of text in such a way that the process introduces one's own presuppositions, agendas, or biases into and onto the text.
The Trinity doctrine did not come about through exegesis.
Exegesis is a critical explanation or interpretation of a text, particularly a religious text. Traditionally the term was used primarily for work with the Bible; however, in modern usage "biblical exegesis" is used for greater specificity to distinguish it from any other broader critical text explanation.
Exegesis includes a wide range of critical disciplines: textual criticism is the investigation into the history and origins of the text, but exegesis may include the study of the historical and cultural backgrounds of the author, text, and original audience. Other analyses include classification of the type of literary genres presented in the text and analysis of grammatical and syntactical features in the text itself.

Exegesis requires using history to understand the writings of scripture.Don't rely on your history books to interpret scripture, rely on scripture to interpret scripture, as I do.
Without that understanding, your interpretations of scripture will be nothing more than your own ideas and presuppositions read into the text.
Trinitarians seem to be content to merely make the scriptures say what they want them to say instead of what the scriptures actually say.
