How and when did the Trinity become Christian dogma?

It has been proven in this thread by many. Simply re-read any thread on this forum about the trinity and there will be dozens of post with proof. I'm going to rehash it.

Hmmmmmmm . . . . cherry picked proof? Like Overcomer said please look in the mirror when you say these things.

But it's precisely BECAUSE of that statement that we recognize that, because the Bible ALSO presents Jesus and the Holy Spirit as God -- equal in essence, eternality, power, etc. -- that we realize God HAS to be a Trinity, that is, one God who exists in three persons.

John:14:28 "The Father is greater than I"

Philippians 2:5, 6 "Keep this mental attitude in you that was also in Christ Jesus, who, although he was existing in God’s form, gave no consideration to a seizure, namely, that he should be equal to God."

Equal? No.

The Old Testament does offer us verses that indicate the Trinity -- verses such as "let us make man in our image" (Gen. 1:26), for example.

But it doesn't say 'us' is God. The eiesgesis interpretation practice you use makes it a prop for your doctrine. While it is likely that the us is Jehovah and Jesus there is nothing that directly say they are both God.

I provided links where I explain why Jesus and the Holy Spirit are deity along with Yahweh. You are welcome to check them out and you are welcome to debate them. If I'm guilty of eisegesis as you keep suggesting, then please offer some evidence to back up that opinion.

I am not interested. I have seen all of them before and they do not teach the trinity. They are being use as props in eiesgesis. An interpretation practice I do not accept.
