The 'Trinity" as it is presented in the New Testament is a philosophical concept developed from the study of mathematics by my ancestors and it has absolutely nothing to do with the Gallilean Rabbi Jeshua. Such associations were made by those who formed the Council of Nicea and had no bearing except as a means of trying to convince my folk to join the church. It did not succeed.
