This reply of his<\/a>, honestly, is too danged long, as is this series<\/a>. Future critiquers – remember, brevity is the soul of wit. But here is part 4 of 5. I’m going to skip a few tangents. Picking up his critique,<\/p>\n

…irrespective of whether the doctrine of the Trinity is true, it’s not formally\u00a0contradictory<\/strong>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Depends on the version, but my post doesn’t anywhere claim that “the” doctrine is self-contradictory, so the point is not relevant here.<\/p>\n

ii. There’s biblical data supporting<\/strong> (or at least consistent with) Trinitarian theology<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Various elements, of various theories, yes, as some trinitanians think it is part of their view that the Father is God, our premise U2<\/a> that we’ve been discussing. But again, not relevant to the present dispute.<\/p>\n

iii. The conclusion of U3 doesn’t take into full consideration<\/strong> both the Biblical data and the theological concept of what Trinitarianism entails.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

All that’s relevant about U3 here is that it follows logically from T1 and U2. If<\/em> they’re true, then so is U3. Being a mere claim and not a person, U3 doesn’t need to take anything into consideration at all! \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

\"mountain\"There is a mountain of Biblical evidence<\/strong> pointing toward something like the Trinity …The doctrine of the Trinity is based the following premises.<\/p>\n

P1 There is one God (Jehovah\/Yahweh)
\nP2 The Father is a person
\nP3 The Son is a person
\nP4 The Holy Spirit is a person
\nP5 The Father is Fully Divine
\nP6 The Son is Fully Divine
\nP7 The Holy Spirit is Fully Divine
\nP8 The Father is not the Son or the Holy Spirit
\nP9 The Son is not the Father or the Holy Spirit
\nP10 The Holy Spirit is not the Father or the Son
\nP11 To be Fully Divine is to possess the attributes of God and therefore be God<\/p>\n

Each premise can be backed up by multiple Scripture passages. Therefore, something like the Trinity would seem to be true.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Much could be said about this. Briefly<\/strong>,<\/p>\n
