All you folks ever put in front of me are bits and pieces of words and half verses that are scattered all over the Bible. If there is a trinity then why not just come out and say it? Why do we have to jump all over the Bible cutting and pasting pieces of words that are scattered all over the Bible? Why not just teach it? I know enough about how the Bible is written in the New Testament and in the Gospels to know if there was a trinity it would have been taught. The Gospels would have clearly said...Even an amateur detective would say: "There's a pattern here.", especially after seeing it 164 times! But you don't want to see that, so you belittle it and mock it. Not only that, but the fact that it occurs in the Word of God, where the Holy Spirit directed the words to be used, is also highly significant. If it happened in another book, it would still reveal a pattern created by the author, but would not be anything more than interesting reading. But the Holy Spirit is the author of the Bible, which we are commanded to meditate on, and when we do that, we will know the truth. The Holy Spirit presents the three persons, of course He being one of them, as inseparable. Go ahead and mock and deny it, but you do that to your own harm.
Verily, verily I say unto you that I am Jesus and I'm also God.
The Epistles would have writings like...
Yay, I Paul do testify that Jesus who is God came down from heaven to be a man for us. And we do know and testify that this same Jesus who you crucified is God. And so let us bow our knee to the one and only true God-Man Jesus Christ.
And yet there's nothing like that anywhere. Not in the Old or New Testament. Not even one complete verse like that.
