The Godhead

I do not pretend to be a theologian. Personally, I do not have much faith in theology. Theology is the study of God. This implies a mental approach to understanding God. It is my point of view that trying to understand God mentally has led to the current errors in Christian thinking.
I think, from something Jesus said, that the only way we can understand God is by experiencing Him.
On that day you will realize that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you. (John 14:20)
I make it a point to not write anything merely to explain a passage of Scripture. Everything I write is intended to lead believers into righteous behavior.
My effort in this present effort it to invite people into the close relationship I have with the Lord Jesus, my older Brother.
It is my observation that the two current definitions of the Trinity tend to keep people from enjoying a close relationship with the Lord Jesus. I do not like terms such as "Trinity," "rapture," "accept Christ," the Bride of Christ," and so forth because they are not in the Scriptures. Even though those who employ such terms mean well, there always is a chance that an unscriptural meaning or application will creep in.
The unscriptural term I wish to deal with in this essay is the "Trinity." If my understanding is correct, Trinity can be understood in one of two ways, neither of which admits to the close fellowship with Jesus we all desire, and that He desires.
The first understanding is that there are three equal Gods, co-existent, co-eternal, and so forth. This means that Jesus is equal in authority to the Father and originated at the same time as He. This is what I think "Trinity" means.
However, I believe theologians would have a more complex definition. Yet, if I am not mistaken, this is how the rank and file of believers would define the Trinity.
