The Real Milk Man

This may sound a little strange, but I Believe in Jesus and His words from His own mouth and put them into practice (Mat. 7:24-27, NIV), of what He says in John 17:3, where Jesus declares with His own mouth that the Father is the Only true God.
In the love Christ, sincerely, The Real Milk Man.

Annoyingly Progressive Since 2006
Don't you mean that you believe in the words that are attributed to him by an anonymous gospel writer, 80 some years after Jesus' death?

Baha'i
Baha'is recognise a trinity...
The following is a summary of a talk given on the Trinity by Abdul-Baha:
The epitome of the discourse is that the Reality of Christ was a clear mirror, and the Sun of Reality -- that is to say, the Essence of Oneness, with its infinite perfections and attributes -- became visible in the mirror.
The meaning is not that the Sun, which is the Essence of the Divinity, became divided and multiplied -- for the Sun is one -- but it appeared in the mirror. This is why Christ said, "The Father is in the Son," meaning that the Sun is visible and manifest in this mirror.
The Holy Spirit is the Bounty of God which becomes visible and evident in the Reality of Christ. The Sonship station is the heart of Christ, and the Holy Spirit is the station of the spirit of Christ. Hence it has become certain and proved that the Essence of Divinity is absolutely unique and has no equal, no likeness, no equivalent.
~ Abdu'l-Baha, Some Answered Questions, p. 113

Further Baha'is view:
The angel Gabriel is the Holy Ghost, the intermediary between God and Muhammad; in Christianity it is symbolized by a dove; in the Bahá'í Dispensation, the spirit of God within Bahá'u'lláh is personified by a Maiden, as the Guardian explains in the book God Passes By (p. 118, 121, etc.).
The Trinity according to our teachings is the unknowable Lord,
the Perfect Man,
and the Holy Spirit.
