"Satan is the originator of the trinity doctrine." (Let God Be True, 1946 [1952 rev.], p. 101).
The Bible clearly teaches the doctrine of the Trinity. It is an orthodox doctrine based and grounded upon the written Word of God. Here are some verses to consider.

LORD, You are our Father, We are the clay, and You our potter; And all of us

one body and one Spirit, just as also you were called in one hope of your
calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one

yet for us
there is but one God, the Father,
from whom are all things and we exist for Him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, by
whom are all things, and we exist through Him. (First Corinthians 8:6 NASB).
(Emphasis mine).

the Father

well-pleased. (Matthew 3:17 NASB).

the Father will show Him greater works than these, so that you will marvel. (John

the Father raises the dead and gives them life, even so the Son also gives life
to whom He wishes. (John 5:21 NASB).

their behalf; I do not ask on behalf of the world, but of those whom You have
given Me; for they are Yours… (John 17:9 (NASB).
Gathering
them together, He commanded them not to leave Jerusalem, but to wait for what
the Father had promised, "Which," He said, "you heard of from
Me;” (Acts 1:4 NASB).

Lord Jesus Christ Himself and God our Father, who has loved us and given us
eternal comfort and good hope by grace… (Second Thessalonians 2:16 NASB).

Christ Jesus, who is our hope… (First Timothy 1:1 NASB).

have seen and heard we proclaim to you
also, so that you too may have fellowship with us; and indeed our fellowship is
with the Father, and with His Son Jesus Christ. (First John 1:3 NASB).

bear a Son, and shall call His name Immanuel. (Isaiah 7:6 NKJV).

appearing, which He will manifest in His own time, He who is the blessed and
only Potentate, the King of kings and Lord of lords. (First Timothy 6:15 NKJV).
He is the
image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. For by Him all things were created, both in
the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions
or rulers or authorities--all things have been created through Him and for Him.
He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together. (Colossians
11:15-17 NASB).
For in Him
all the fullness of Deity dwells in bodily form… (Colossians 2:9 NASB).
Have this
attitude in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus, who, although He existed
in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped, but
emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the
likeness of men. Being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by
becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. For this reason
also, God highly exalted Him, and bestowed on Him the name which is above every
name, so that at the name of Jesus EVERY KNEE WILL BOW, of those who are in heaven
and on earth and under the earth, and that every tongue will confess that Jesus
Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. (Philippians 2:5-11 NASB).
looking for
the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus
Christ… (Titus 2:13 NASB).

excellent name than they. For to which of the angels did He ever say: You are
My Son, Today I have begotten You"? And again: "I will be to Him a
Father, And He shall be to Me a Son"? But when He again brings the
firstborn into the world, He says: "Let all the angels of God worship
Him." And of the angels He says:
"Who makes His angels spirits And His ministers a flame of fire." But to the Son He says: “Your throne, O God,
is forever and ever; a scepter of righteousness is the scepter of Your kingdom.
9You have loved righteousness and hated lawlessness; Therefore God,
Your God, has anointed You With the oil of gladness more than Your
companions." And: "You, LORD, in the beginning laid the foundation of
the earth, and the heavens are the work of Your hands. They will perish, but
You remain; and they will all grow old like a garment; like a cloak You will
fold them up, and they will be changed. But You are the same, and Your years
will not fail.” But to which of the angels has He ever said, “Sit at My right
hand, till I make Your enemies Your footstool?”

1:11; NKJV).

saw Him, I fell at His feet as dead. But He laid His right hand on me, saying

have the keys of Hades and of Death. (Revelation 1:17-18; NKJV).

Spirit… (Matthew 28:19 NASB) (Emphasis mine).

one body and one Spirit, just
as also you were called in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one
baptism, one God and Father of all who is over all and through all and in all.

But Peter
said, "Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit
and keep back part of the price of the land for yourself? While it remained, was it not your own?
And after it was sold, was it not in your own control? Why have you conceived
this thing in your heart? You have not lied to men but to God." (Acts
5:3-4 NKJV).
The Personality of the Holy Spirit
Then the
LORD said, "My Spirit shall not strive with man forever, because he also
is flesh; nevertheless his days shall be one hundred and twenty years." (Genesis
6:3 NASB).
But the
Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach
you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I said to you. (John 14:26 NASB).

peace, being built up; and going on in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort
of the Holy Spirit, it continued to increase. (Acts 9:31 NASB).

one parting word, "The Holy Spirit rightly spoke through Isaiah the
prophet to your fathers… (Acts 28:25 NASB).

redemption. (Ephesians 4:30 NKJV).
