Hear oh Israel, the Lord our God is ONE LORD (Mark 12:29).Does this disprove the trinity?

The story about the demon possessed man in the Gadarenes begins with Mark telling us that there was a man with an Unclean Spirit (singular) who would remain in the tombs of the dead. The man begged Jesus not to bring him under punishment because Christ had told the unclean spirit (singular) to leave the man.

When we read the next passages of the story, we see that in fact, the man is not possessed by an unclean spirit, but rather UNCLEAN SPIRITS (plural).The spirits tell Jesus that they are many. Furthermore, we see that when Christ asks the demon what is THY name (singular) the demon (HE, singular) replied that his name is legion because THEY are many.

Within the opening part of the story, Mark uses the word unclean spirit (singular) to refer to what was possessing the man. Yet what we come to see is that this unclean spirit is actually a legion of demons, unclean spirit(s). Why this is so important is because it displays unto us the way in which the gospel writers, mainly Mark, wrote. What we can learn from this event is that the writers of the 4 gospels may from time to time use a singular word about a thing which may not be all that singular after all. Hence, when the word God is used in the gospels, or when the phrase “ the Lord your God is one Lord” is used, we shouldn’t be so quick to say that this disproves the idea of a triune creator seeing as the gospel writers may sometimes use singular wordings to point to something that may be plural.
