    How did the Trinity doctrine develop in the early church?

    Should we? [Jhn 15:2 KJV] 2 Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every [branch] that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit. Edit: καθαίρω means I cleanse or purge. This can be concluded from the noun (of the same root?)

    How did the Trinity doctrine develop in the early church?

    Courtesy laugh. Thayer's wasn't much help either. My guess is that it means, He is pruning.

    How did the Trinity doctrine develop in the early church?

    He was actually taking them away in a continuous sense; but the implication of getting burned away seems to be there. The word may mean something else. Perhaps, prune works best, but you can't twist it any which way. Only the implication being pruning is supported by the lexicons that I use.

    Trump has abandoned America First

    I don't completely agree. There is the war with Venezuela. But you did remind me that he did put a price on H1Bs, but it needs to be more than a drop in a bucket.

    Flat Earth Theory

    Most people know it. The firmament was a plateau elevation, and the stars would turn at or in at it. Heaven is a poor translation of the Hebrew שָׁמַיִם šāmay. Thus, the land is the "heavens" and the earth. I need to find the Hebrew for sky. Peace.

    Trump has abandoned America First

    Disagree about what? Trump has never been very conservative. He pushes Rubio's wars and Big-tech's H1B slaves.

    When exposed about the I AM statements, they suddenly learn how lame it is as a proof when you confront them.
