Hogwash! Jesus did not teach about a trinity ...he said...”forgive us as we forgive”...so we will not be forgiven if we do not exercise patience. That is the key of Christianity and something that the church is woefully inadequate in teaching well... sadly.

The doctrine of the Trinity is a doctrine about Jesus, about his relationship with the Father, and the Holy Spirit. So why would you expect to read about Jesus talking about it? We believe that the Apostles realized who he was only after the Events of the Passover. The doctrine of the Trinity is an articulation of the understanding of who he was in the light of these events. Central to this is the Resurrection. Unless one believes this happened, then the doctrine is about nothing.

Our Lord teaches the Apostles about the Trinity. The
verses...You must meditate on the Holy Gospel today: Matthew 28:16-20 are recommended at the end of the
message from Mary. Our Lord names the Trinity.

And in another verse, Our Lord refers to Himself as God,
and there are other Gospel examples. Mormons do not believe
Jesus always was and always will be.

John 17:5
And now glorify thou me, O Father, with thyself, with the glory which I had, before the world was, with thee.
