There is no Biblical basis for the trinity. It became formulized AFTER
the Bible was written. This happened at the 4th century Council of
Nicea. They declared that Jesus was God, and the Holy Spirit was a
lessor person.
Pagans had their trinities also. For instance in Egypt:
There was Amen, Mut, and Khonsu.
There was Khnum, Satis, and Anukis.
The Hindu trinity had Brahman, Siva, and Vishnu.
Thus the trinity stems from purely pagan sources. Not a word of it is
recorded in all the 66 books of the Bible. Actually the Bible says
just the opposite:
(Deuteronomy 6:4) “Listen, O Israel: Jehovah our God is one Jehovah.

See above the extra-Biblical source of the trinity.

The Bible gives its own description of the "soul".
Concerning the "soul", notice what it is. The word "soul" is
translated from the Hebrew word "nephesh" and the Greek word "psykhe".
The first use of the word "soul" in relation to a human (its first use
is with fish and animals) is at Ge 2:7,
"And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed
into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
[nephesh]" (KJV) (my brackets)
Notice the man wasn't 'given' a soul, but when he started to breath he
BECAME a soul. Thus a soul is a whole person, and when a person dies,
so does the "soul" as Eze 18:4 brings out:
(Ezekiel 18:4) Look! All the souls—to me they belong. As the soul of
the father so also the soul of the son—to me they belong. The soul who
sins is the one who will die.
Thus the Bible speaks about the death of a soul.
And notice that animals are also called "souls". Ge 1:20 says,
"And God said, Let the waters swarm with swarms of living souls,
[nephesh] and let fowl fly above the earth in the expanse of the
heavens. " (DBY) (my brackets)

I hate to rain on your parade, but none of that is in the Bible. Real
Christians really do follow the Bible. Why?
(2 Timothy 3:16) All Scripture is inspired of God and beneficial for
teaching, for reproving, for setting things straight, for disciplining
in righteousness,
