Can anyone Prove, FROM THE BIBLE, that the Trinity is real? And, where is the WORD Trinity found in the Bible?

The word Trinity is not mentioned in the Bible, cause there is no Trinity, Matthew 3:17

It's found right on the cover of my Trinity Study Bible niv edition. Actually about 6 of 7 times on the first page which is explaining how to use the Bible. Perhaps, of you are having trouble finding it, you are using the wrong Bible.

The word Trinity itself doesn't have to be in the Bible there are plenty of scriptures that show that it is true. Matthew 28:19 for one and every scripture that shows the Father Son and Holy Spirit as one and yet distinct.

Firstly, only the simplistic in mind ask for "proof". This applies to bible doctrine as much as anything else. It takes great delusion for someone to say they know their doctrine is 100% right and have no room for potential error - incidentally JWs generally fall into this category.
Secondly, JWs often make the claim that they only believe what's in the bible and frankly, this is a great example of the delusion to which I refer. MANY of the things JWs believe are NOT in the bible or at least not expressly stated. They are the application of their logic and interpretation of bible things in order to deduce what they BELIEVE is the right doctrine. EVEN if they were right in a particular doctrine they are absolutely deluded in their contention that their belief is 100% right because they have no means to KNOW this. There is at least a good, maybe small chance that their logic and interpretation is wrong... but JWs simply cannot accept this.
Thirdly, it's ironic that JWs continue to demand proof of the Trinity and often claim there's no mention of Trinity in the bible when they themselves believe MANY things not in the bible. JWs simply cannot accept this obvious fact and when someone points out a JW doctrine not expressed in the bible, JWs don't see their own inconsistancy but jump into the argument to show their thinking and conclusion from bible verses is correct. THEY MISS THE POINT.... what they believe is not in the bible. Here are just a few examples and I defy you to find these things in the bible....blood transfusion, big crowd, little crowd, omnipotent God, Jesus is Michael, etc.
Fourthly, I find that JWs are generally very simplistic minded. I'm not trying to insult with this. I'm stating this because it's a block to juggling the complexities of bible doctrine. In response many JWs try to quote the bible verses about God not being a God of confusion but all they do here is show they can't juggling the difference between the concept of confusion and concept of complexity.. and prove my point.
Irrespective, let's ask a simple question and assume a sensible response to set the framework of a definitive answer to your question.
"If there were passages in the bible that showed that Jesus was almighty God, the Holy Spirit was almight God and the Father was almighty God would this mean the bible passages that state God is ONE are wrong?"
If you cannot answer this question "YES" then its clear you are simplistic of mind and unable to understand.
If you answer "NO" then congratulations you have answered your own question. There is no need for the bible to specifically say God is 3 in 1, use the word Trinity or any other thing that JWs like to claim are required to "prove" the Trintiy.
I suspect you will evade this direct question, disliking the road it takes you down.
If you have sufficient intellect and integrity to read and assimulate this thinking then you will NEVER ask such a question again and will question any JW you know who does. This does not mean you accept the Trinity anymore than you do now but it should at least upgrade your argument.
.. then if you want to really assess the doctrine of the Trinity rather than dismiss on simplistic grounds, you're going to have to do what no JW wants to do. You're going to have FULLY research and document the 300+ verses that attest to the divinity of Christ and the personhood of the Holy Spirit in order to think through why they cannot be God... to do this you'll need extensive notes to consider cultural setting, linguistic use and thousands of cross references plus your own thoughts on each. In other words lots of lots of notes.

The word "trinity" is not found in the KJV.
The word Translated as "God" is the Hebrew word "אֱלֹהִים 'ĕlôhı̂ym"
and is a plural word which means as follows:
God the Holy Father
God the Holy Son
God the Holy Spirit
This word is found 3101 times in the O T.
In the N T it is found 1372 times from the Greek/Aramaic word "θεός theos"
The word "Trinity" is not found but means the Godhead a word found only
3 times in the N T from the Greek/Aramaic word "θεότης theotēs"

Bible does not have word "gay" in it, it defines the term by examples and stories.
You wont find word "trinity" in the Bible. You just have to understand the very simple concept that is obvious to you already.
You=your body, mind and spirit so its 3 already.
You dont call your self trinity, you call your self YOU.
You dont call God trinity, you call God God, or Jesus or Holy Spirit, the Spirit of God.
How can you be without spirit ? Spirit is part of you, it is you.
So is God. God and God's spirit is one. Jesus and Father (Son and Father) are one also, just like the Bible say "I and the Father are one"

Google "references to the trinity in the new testament" for your answer.
The word "trinity" is not in the Bible but the concept is certainly there.

No, because God is not a trinity. Only the Father is God, as the following scriptures show:
1. Jesus' Father is the "only true God." (John 17:3)
2. "There is one God, the Father." (1 Cor 8:6a)
3. The Jews said to Jesus: "The only Father we have is God himself." (John 8:41) So, even Jesus' enemies knew that there was no trinity.

Right at the start, the talking snake says that when you eat the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil, you will know all like God, and become "gods" yourself. This refers directly to soma and Hinduism which originated in the same place, Iran. Hinduism came first, and they saw millions of "gods" which could be anything in the universe, as the one God was Brahman, the universe, and all the other "gods" were different faces of the one God. Different faces in the sense that they came out of the mouths of humans, on magic mushrooms.

How about Matthew 17:5,
There are ver 550 place just in the New Testament that state that GOD is GOD and GOD made Jesus. The Holy Ghost was not made by GOD until the book of Acts.
