Aad,

I just quoted Josephus' "Against Apion" in the other thread about God is One, The Original faith of Humankind. Those quotes from book 2 chapters 17 and 20 show that just like today, Jews universally believed in God as one (absolutely and ontologically). Nothing has changed from 2000 years ago.

A trinity in that time, just as today, would have been a god our fathers (from Moses' time) never knew. And God instructs us very clearly to reject gods our fathers never knew.
