    Barna Poll: Most Americans - Including Church Members - Reject the Trinity

    From my X / Twitter “For you” feed today. https://x.com/protestia/status/1906745852212715885?s=61 Let me say at the outset that my intention with this thread is to discuss education. This thread was not created to discuss or debate the Trinity. I’ve been complaining for decades that the...

    “Elemental trinitarianism” isn’t “elementary trinitarianism”, nor is it “orthodox trinitarianism”. Trinitarian scholarship draws upon church history to show us how the church, beginning with “elemental trinitarianism”, arrived, several centuries later, at orthodoxy. The history of Christianity...

    Not only do you not know church history nor understand trinitarian orthodoxy, you don’t even exhibit awareness that this is my thread. I’m not going elsewhere. You going elsewhere will benefit everyone.

    Even the largest branch of unitarianism agrees with those propositions. What this tells me is that you don’t have any understanding of, nor appreciation for, the history and complexity of the post-biblical development of trinitarian theology. It took the church several hundred years to move...

    To the only God our Savior

    You can’t back it up because you made it up. Using trinitarian sources, I’ve proven to our readers that historical orthodox trinitarianism is true orthodoxy in Catholicism and in Protestantism. Even the one trinitarian source you provided affirms historical orthodox trinitarianism. That leaves...
