My friend, pride and ambition for greatness are not characteristics of God but of Satan. In heaven it was these traits of character that led the once covering cherub to rebel against God. At first his rebellion was carried out by subtle insinuations as to the workings of God, questioning the wisdom of not taking him into the Fathers counsels.
These insinuations led many of the angels to doubt the wisdom of God and led them to further question God's motives and dealings with the heavenly angels. Lucifer had planted seeds of doubt that began to grow in the minds of the heavenly angels and many sympathized with him. He began to present before the heavenly host a different picture of God, misrepresenting His character that he may gain more sympathizers in his cause.
To misrepresent the character of God has always been the method Satan has used to separate intelligent beings from God, and he continues to do this with the world today. Satan well knows that those who are connected to the One true God through His Son Jesus Christ, will not succumb to his deceptive power. The Spirit of Christ will led them in the path of righteousness and enable them to resist his power. Thus he does all that he can to keep the minds of man looking unto a false image of God, that they may believe that they are worshiping God, when in fact they are worshiping him.
The trinity is a false representation of God and all those who worship God as a trinity are worshiping God in vain. Jesus speaking to the Pharisees said "Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying, This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me. But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men." (Matthew 15:9).
The Roman Catholic Church, led by Satan, has perverted the image of God and has created an altogether different god from the God of the Bible. Satan has so corrupted the Christian faith that though the people think that they are worshiping the God of the Bible, they are in fact worshiping the god of his creation, and as such are worshiping Satan. The foundation of the Roman Catholic Church is the mystery of the trinity, the believe that God is a trinity, made up of three individual god-beings who are all god unto themselves, but is also collectively god, preserving the idea of one God.
The Bible is very clear that there is only one God, the Father, and He reveals Himself to us by His Son. "But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him." (1 Corinthians 8:6). Jesus is God in that He is divine, but the Son of God is not the One true God; He is not the Almighty God spoken of in the Scriptures.
My friend, to believe in the trinity is to believe a lie. Ever has Satan sought to misrepresent the character of God that he may separate us from the power of God, that we may not receive the divine impress upon our hearts. It is high time for us to study to show ourselves approved of God, rightly dividing the word of God; looking unto Jesus the Son of the One true God today.
God bless,
