Argument against the Doctrine of the Trinity. (And keep it clean, please.)

None of which addresses the folllowing

One God. . .in three distinct persons:
the Son being subject to the Father, for the Son is sent by the Father (Jn 5:23, 36, 43),
the Spirit being subject to the Father, for the Spirit is sent by the Father in the Son's name (Jn 14:26), and
the Spirit being subject to the Son as well as the Father, for the Spirit is sent by the Son as well as the Father (Jn 15:26, 16:7, 14:26, Ac 2:33).

One doesn't send oneself, one sends another person.

It is Jesus in the above who shows three distinct persons in disclosing the mystery of the Trininty, which mystery is the heart of Christian faith in God.
And that mystery is three distinct persons in one God--the Son doing the will of the Father, and the Spirit doing the will of the Father and the Son.
If the person of the Father is the only true God what you believe is not a possible answer.

He didn't include Himself nor state anything about a 3rd person.

Jesus-“Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me.

It is Jesus stating One true God the Father and Himself not 3 persons.
Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.

And if you are confused in Him calling the Father the only true God and not including Himself this should help.

Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me.
Why do you call me good?” Jesus answered. “No one is good—except God alone

No 3rd person
yet for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom all things came and for whom we live; and there is but one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things came and through whom we live.

No 3rd person
Then I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and on the sea, and all that is in them, saying: “To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be praise and honor and glory and power, for ever and ever!”

No 3rd person
No longer will there be any curse. The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in the city, and his servants will serve him

It's the Fathers Spirit which is Deity. The Spirit of the only true God not God the Spirit.

Fathers promise -
‘In the last days, God says,
I will pour out my Spirit on all people.

Which is in agreement with post #222.
 
Setting aside how a being that has no beginning can be from any other person.
False equivalence and anthropomorphization: You are equating "from" with your experience of the term's use. God is not a merely temporal being, like us.

And if @Eleanor is not confused? That the Doctrine of the Trinity can only go so far in OUR understanding of the facts does not lend confusion, if one doesn't try to justify the things they don't understand to read that Jesus is not GOD OF VERY GOD. No, I did not misspell "every".
