    I think it was cursive, but there is still no punctuation in an early cursive manuscript.

    How did the Trinity doctrine develop in the early church?

    Origenism was, and it is similar theologically.

    Aren't we judgmental? I suppose Ben Franklin was not a Christian, because he was Unitarian.

    How did the Trinity doctrine develop in the early church?

    So that is how they say that he is begotten not made. But all humans are begotten not made. It makes it a stupid statement about Jesus.

    How did the Trinity doctrine develop in the early church?

    The vision of the infant is demonic and influential. Nobody thought themselves influenced by it though. Valentinus stole his dualist theology from another Hellenistic writer. I can't remember his name though. Origen is a dead in that he influenced Arianism deeply. The pre-existence of souls was...

    THE Trinity can Now be discussed.

    But scripture says there are other gods who are not unique. You shall not have gods others before or ahead of the Most High. I take it to mean that.

    Because the word God is definitive in that part of the verse being an anarthrous noun. Edit: This is not in any textbook, but it backed up by my experiences.

    Almah does not mean virgin. Thus the virgin birth is unprovable among old Tenach writings.

    No HOLY SPIRIT no SON. You have it backwards. [Luk 1:35 NKJV] 35 And the angel answered and said to her, "[The] Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Highest will overshadow you; therefore, also, that Holy One who is to be born will be called the Son of God.

    It is full of alterations so that any Rabbinic Jew could become a bar Kochba. The virgin birth prophecy is unprovable because Bar Kochba wasn't born of one.

    Adam means the man in Hebrew.

    More on GJohn 1.1

    When the Hebrew article is before Adam, it implies a person or persons. For example, God was sorry that he had made an Adam. The Adam would be redundant in meaning.

    On the pre-existence of Jesus
