The bible says nothing about it because there was nothing to say. The followers of Arian for example, pretty powerful in the early stages of christianity, never accepted Jesus as god.
It's only when the high and mighties realized that they had a form of politheism, whoops, entrance of the trinity.
Yes. There is no one sentence in the bible that states that God is one, but consists of three separate persons. The doctrine of the trinity was formulated by compiling statements from the bible as a whole.
In other words, it's an attempt to cover contradictions in different parts of the bible. In some parts he acts like a separate being but in other parts he states or implies that he is god. Since it all has to be true, that means he both is and isn't multiple people.
