If you're looking for context, you can go to all three scripture verses and read the whole chapter of each. The verses still show trinity characteristics.

And that refers to the Godhead, not a single Trinitarian God. Or do you presume to interpret LDS scripture contrary to the teachings of the LDS prophets?
In a few circles Godhead and Trinity can be synonymous.

I see a common theme when people try to "prove" or "counter" LDS beliefs and concepts: They live out some of the relevant scriptures that don't support their side.
And you would prefer to leave out the scripture that does support the Trinity doctrine? Is that it?

Sound, balanced teaching is a must. Our default should be to partake. Our default should be to live in joy, not condemnation. Our default should be to love, not to correct, to encourage, not to criticize. (Quote from prisonchaplain)
