Through Jesus’s death and atonement on the cross we can be forgiven and be covered by His blood. This is open to anybody who would receive Him as Lord.
The Trinity starts with Genesis, chapter 1. When the One True God said let us make man in our image.
David knew about the Father and our Lord, Jesus. He knew that they are both Lord, but that His Lord was Jesus.
God and His angels are a consuming fire. The difference is in their brightness, as angels are sons of God.
Out of the mouth of Jesus, He is Alpha and Omega, the first and the last. Therefore, He has always been God.

1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 The same was in the beginning with God.
Mormons are not Christians, and this is because of how they downplay Jesus as God. They don’t believe He was always God. How Jesus had to become a God like unto all other Gods before Him. Bruce McConkie wrote, “the Lord Jesus worked out his own salvation.” (Our Relationship With The Lord, pg. 9) Joseph
Satan has masqueraded this Book of Mormon to appear to be of God, in order to lure in even the very elect of God.
For anyone to say that they have seen the Father in the flesh, they are simply lying. Nobody has experienced this.
John 1:17,18 (KJV)
17 For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.
18 No man hath seen God at any time, the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.
No person has ever seen the Father in person and lived. Don’t let people fool you into believing their prophet has, unless it is a vision or dream.

The truth is, the teaching of the trinity has been held for the last two thousand years. It is true and biblically sound also.
John 1:11-13 (KJV)
11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

John 1:1-5 (KJV)
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 The same was in the beginning with God.

4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
Jesus is the light of the world. He came into the world and only a few people came unto Him. It is now our time to submit to God.
John 1:9-12 (KJV)
9 That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.
10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
Because of Jesus’s birth, light has come into the world, which opened up the salvation to all people.
Jesus is the great “I Am”. He proclaimed this to the people. Therefore, He is the Lord God Almighty, who is worthy to save.
If anyone tells you they saw God the Father, do not listen to them. Even Jesus said that nobody has seen Him, but only the Son.
Before people could receive Jesus as Lord, only angels were called, “the sons of God”. Now, the door is open to us who believe.

Did you know that Luke also refers to Jesus and light in the same reference? In Luke, chapter 2, we hear this from the words of Simeon, a devout man of God, who had the opportunity to hold the baby Jesus first hand.
The light that shines upon us all is our Lord, Jesus. He is the chosen Messiah, who was born to save us all from our sins.
