Does the Bible Teach the Trinity? (Mormon vs. Protestant Debate)

Does the Bible teach the Trinity and monotheism? Or was Trinitarianism just a later invention influenced by Hellenism? And is the Trinity a salvation issue? Well, I recently sat down with my friend Braeden (GospelGuardianLDS), to discuss these issues and where Mormons and Protestants agree and disagree. This was not a heated debate, but rather a civilized discussion between two people who do have great disagreements, but also still have respect for each other. So, here's our conversation.
