Malachi wrote: No, Rebecca, Jesus did not teach the Trinity nor did the disciples and you will be hard put to find the Jewish people believing in the Trinity or anything that is close to it.

I've been slowly reading through this thread and unless I missed it I haven't seen a discussion of John 1. Malachi you claim that Jesus and the disciples did not teach the trinity, but isn't John 1 a trinitarian chapter (or at least proclaims the divinity of Jesus)? I am curious how the first chapter of John is understood as not referring to a claim of Jesus as God.
