The trinity doctrine uses extra-Biblical language and is an extra-Biblical revelation. It is a theory that many insist on as doctrine. You know how our public schools are trying to teach evolution as fact when they should…[Read more]

Keith,Maybe you would feel better if you just posted on a message board founded by a trinitarian? I would miss you though. If I posted on a message board that I knew was opposed to my doctrine, then I would expect to feel “ganged up on.” Do you understand that many were in trinitarian churches when they realized that the doctrine wasn't what…[Read more]
