Quote Roman Catholicism in my opinion followed a little time later, and the “Roman” bit is an important clue I feel.Maybe you missed it when I said that I am not a “Roman” Catholic. Even the Latin west does not officially go by this name. It is a term applied to them by Protestants.I'm an Eastern Catholic under the Patriarch of Antioch.

1. Are Jesus and Michael the Archangel Really the Same Person?One of the most peculiar of the WTS’s teachings is their assertion that Jesus is actually Michael the Archangel.

Quote Quintus Septimus Florens Tertullian is the first man that instituted the trinity doctrine. His Parents were Pagan. He was born A.D. 153.OK, I started a thread that refutes this claim you keep repeating and soundly puts it to rest as unfounded and false. Please see “Trinity is ancient”
