Why not dismiss the trinitarian belief outright

[Vicki Q]

Or, makers of Jesus myth were like all inventors of religions: just re-hashing the old and familiar. 

So when Christianity came to Rome, the concept of Trinity was taken from Roman Capitoline Triad of Jupiter (father), Juno (wife), and Minerva (daughter), who took it from the Greeks Olympic triad of Zeus (king of the gods), Athena (goddess of war and intelect) and Apollo (god of the sun, culture and music); who took it from Hellenistic Egypt triad of Isis, Alexandrian Serapis and Harpocrates; and so on.

The communities that produced “the nt writings” disagreed so much that they were killing each other in the streets.  Any attempt to cast their disagreements as a matter of punctuation is absurd.

They -did- disagree on the oneness of god. They disagreed on the Jewishness of Christianity.  They disagreed on literally every matter even tangentially related.  This is…..why…. the rcc came about.  An attempt at a unity of faith.  That’s what the word means.

What evidence is there that the NT community disagreed on the oneness of God?


We know they disagreed viscerally about the ongoing application of Torah, but I'm not aware of any evidence which challenges the oneness of God- in fact the absence of evidence is highly significant. As is the lack of challenge to the divine nature of Jesus.

The NT writers don't get into detailed debates about the nature of God. Not for them arguments about subordinationism or Greek punctuation. 

I think you're muddling the iota debate up with 'jot and tittle' from Matthew 5:18. Iota is a Greek letter, and was highly significant in the Nicene debate; jot = iota; and tittle is punctuation.

Please think harder before posting drivel.
