While Romans 3:21-23 is fairly well known and often quoted:
“21 But now apart from the law the righteousness of God has been made known, to which the Law and the Prophets testify. 22 This righteousness is given through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference between Jew and Gentile, 23 for all have sinned and fall…[Read more]

A few years back, I decided to publish my 25 years of research / musings on this doctrine, “Testing the Trinity”. It is available through most on-line booksellers in either paperback or e-book format, but I also published the full book on-line and free of charge here.
About 2/3 of the book is dedicated to exposing the house of cards that is the…[Read more]

@Proclaimer: I do not. I have tried for almost 30 years to find clear evidence of “three persons in the Godhead” from Scripture, and it simply isn’t there.
