LOL!  ali- I have been proclaiming over and over that Christians believe in One True GOD.  Not 3 gods.

LOL!  All know that Jesus is good.  Jesus is asking the man WHY? he thinks Jesus is good.  Jesus is eguating Himself with GOD.  Jesus does not work on His own but through the Father, because all are one. 

No, the word Trinity is not a word used in the Bible.  The concept of the Father, Holy Spirit and Son working together as One True GOD is.

Yes we sing praises to all the "units" of GOD but, Chrisitans do not worship the "units" [manifestations] separatly, but as the One True UNITY that is YHWH.

John 3
16"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

I wonder why Christians say there are three Gods, when the Bible says

Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one.  (From the NIV Bible, Deuteronomy 6:4)"

It is funny that Jesus Christ never said trinity or talked about trinity. Instead when asked which was the most important commandment, he said

"The most important one," answered Jesus, "is this: 'Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one.  (From the NIV Bible, Mark 12:29)"

Notice also how Jesus said "our God", which included him to be under GOD Almighty's creation and Divine Authority, and not someone or an entity that is equal to GOD Almighty.

The Bible's New Testament also records Jesus saying: ""Why do you call me good?" Jesus answered. "No one is good�except God alone."   (From the NIV Bible, Mark 10:18)"

If Jesus doesn't consider himself as "good", then how can any sane person put him on the same level as GOD Almighty?

 That would also mean that your god (church god) is composed of some smaller units. Is that so?? Those units are working well in Unison and as such they are in Unity?? Your god is in parts and parcels working in unity?? What could be the meaning of things that you have just proposed??

Muslims say Allah's unity is one single being.  How can unity be one being?  One is a just that a single static being.   

Unity implies more then one, one in union with something else?

Christians know that the Father, Son and Holy Spirit work only in complete Unity!! 

Jesus does not do what God does not will.  A perfect example of what unity is.  Tha Father, Son and Holy Spirit in a dynamic union as One True GOD.
