You’re a smart guy. You don’t need someone like me to explain to you those things which you have in common with the trinitarians.

I heard you.

My mind. You have a lot of nerve asking me a question.

I believe Jesus and the malefactor knew exactly who God is.

My favorite subject in school was history. Not the names, places and dates, those those are indispensable elements. Things happen for a reason. All kinds of reasons. I was never content with just knowing that something happened. I always wanted to understand why something happened.

I asked you how you came to that conclusion. I didn’t think it was necessary to add that trinitarians don’t. I’m biting my tongue here. I’ll give it a few minutes before deciding whether to leave it at that or not. In the meantime, you have several good options. I recommend that you weigh...

I think every single one of them understood exactly who God is.

That begins to get at the reason - which you indicated that you didn’t want to discuss - why you aren’t a trinitarian. When I was a trinitarian, I saw the Trinity in this passage. I wonder if a trinitarian would tell you that he or she doesn’t.

What conclusion(s) do you draw from that in regard to my question about the Trinity?

The $64,000 question: Is believing (or not believing) in the Trinity a salvation issue? In other words, does it matter?

That’s common practice among the trinitarian pastors I’ve spoken with. Some were associated with denominations which have a liturgical calendar which calls for them to preach a sermon about the Trinity on a particular day each year. Some of them called it “Trinity Sunday”.

People have reasons for believing whatever it is that they believe. I was inquiring about yours. See below. You don’t care. I do care. I don’t know why you’re here. People have their reasons for being where they are, and sometimes they don’t care to discuss them.

What makes you think so?

Then you’re far ahead of the average trinitarian. Why aren’t you a trinitarian?

My answer is that Church history - which is where the doctrine of the Trinity comes from - should matter. My point is that it doesn’t typically matter to trinitarians (nor to non-trinitarians). The fear of the trinitarian clergy - pews filled with people who pay his salary, bored by the...

Did the service you attended that was dedicated to the Trinity not provide either that for you? Do I?

“Trinity” isn’t a term that is biblically applicable to the one God of Israel. The one God of Israel - Yahweh - is the Father alone. How and where can that be confirmed?

I would happily attend a church service dedicated to teaching about the Trinity. Such services occur but are extremely rare. What could a trinitarian pastor offer me that I would buy? I don’t know, but I’d be very interested to find out. I taught the doctrine of the Trinity. If there is...

No. Love the lost, dine with the lost, offer the lost the genuine, the true, Christ. A false Christ has no ability to save anyone. Don’t unite with a false Christ.

Most of the trinitarian pastor’s I’ve spoken with were aware of the history. They remain trinitarian without denying the historical facts about the doctrine. The average trinitarian isn’t aware of the history and doesn’t care anything about it. Scenario: Trinitarian pastor who knows the history...
