If you missed them across two years of discussion, you really are at a disadvantage. You seem to resist harder to the testimony of the deity of Christ until you share more obvious errors of quotes purporting pagan influences on the identity of God. Those sources are not even tied to any path or history of influence into scripture or subsequent writers. Nor do those pagan religions have any similarity of concepts to the Triune God of Israel.
You have provided your interpretations and arguments, but you have not provided anything that changes the Father's exclusive deity, nor have you provided any statements from Scripture about a trinity, nor have you provided solid reasoning to support your claims. You have been going in circles for years. You need to begin your premise with Scripture that states God is a trinity. You can't do that and that's an issue. You have been importing your theology and interpretations into Scripture rather than using what Scripture states.
You are the one coming in with novel, gnostic, private interpretation so either you can check your own ideas against Christian understanding or to push your ideas on others. Go for it.
Trinity, which is found no where in the Bible, is considered to be new, just like the other heresies. Actually, since you mention what is gnostic, the trinity fits that exactly. The trinity is not stated in scripture, but rather "revealed" by Scripture as trinity adherents say, making it secret knowledge. Also, many trinitarian theologians are on record explicitly stating that the trinity is an incomprehensible mystery, meaning your beliefs are actually gnostic, whereas my beliefs about God are not gnostic, but plainly stated in the Bible.
all you have to do is show that the evidence of the deity of Christ in the scriptures is wrong. Who cares about the Trinitarian doctrine if you can convincingly argue against the deity of Christ? You are all hung up later elaborations.
No idea what you're talking about. Please show where Jesus is deity in the Bible.
If you have not learned it yet, you are testifying against yourself.
You said "...the evidence of the deity of Christ in the scriptures.." of which there isn't any. You are making the mistake of conflating your beliefs and doctrines with what the Bible says. So I have no idea what you're talking about in that regard. Where did you see anything about Jesus being God in the Bible?? It says he's a man, God's Son, created, etc.
oh my. that is all that is left to say.
