Quote:110 AD. Ignatius of Antioch wrote,
"Wherefore also the Lord, when He sent forth the apostles to make disciples of all nations, commanded them to "baptize in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost," not unto one [person] having three names, nor into three [persons] who became incarnate, but into three possessed of equal honour." (Letter to the Philadelphians, 2)
The mere mentioning of three entities in the same sentence does not equate to: "They are combined into one god." That's like saying the two former President Bushes (George H. Bush and George W. Bush) and Jeb Bush are a single person simply because their names are strung together in the same sentence.
Ignatius of Antioch was a Roman Catholic. The Roman Catholics are the people who started this false teaching about a 3-prong god, which was eventually formalized into official Catholic dogma in the 4th century AD. The apostles who accompanied Jesus Christ wrote under Divine inspiration from Jehovah God. When the last of them died, the inspired writings stopped. In other words, nothing the Roman Catholics wrote was written by inspiration from God. They were promoting their own corrupted view of scriptures due to the Romans' long history of polytheism (worship of many gods). When they adopted Christianity, they brought their pagan ideologies with them.
