Arianism- now that more likable
couse it's got more reason then the stupid Holly Trinity crap!
and for the dumb and stupid who dont know what is...
Arius was an early Christian theologian, who taught that the Son of God was not eternal, and was subordinate to God the Father
Although he attracted considerable support at the time Arius's views were declared heretical at the Council of Nicaea, leading to the formation of the Nicene Creed.

No, I don't at all. I'm not your normal "christian", though. I believe Jesus was/is the son of God. Someone who the bible says God does everything through, a sacrifice, teacher, etc. People who say God and Jesus are one. Need to keep in mind, the bible says a husband and wife are one and his people are one. That does not make us the same person. Any way, I am open to learning other beliefs as well. As far as the bible is concerned. People say all kinds of things that are not in there. I had a preacher on answers tell me that the trinity was all through the bible. I asked for verses. He never responded again.

Trinity - is not found in Bible in the shape of word or sense. The verses which are refered to explain the Trinity do not justify the argument?
The triune God theory was adopted in early 4th Century to make the religion acceptable to Greeks and Romans who were quite familiar with such idealogy. This similarity may have attracted them but the theory destroyed the original teachings!
The early fathers went so far to adopt this immaginary concept (trinity) that they rejected the teachings of OT. They aslo rejected the teachings of Jesus; "I have come to fulfill the commandments".
Surprisingly! the word Trinity is found in Quran. God advise the believers " Don't say Trinity "

Postmortem of Trinity
What is the origin of the Trinity doctrine?
A Protestant publication
A Protestant publication states: "The word Trinity is not found in the Bible . . . It did not find a place formally in the theology of the church till the 4th century." (The Illustrated Bible Dictionary) And a Catholic authority says that the Trinity "is not . . . directly and immediately [the] word of God."—New Catholic Encyclopedia.
The Encyclopedia of Religion admits: "Theologians today are in agreement that the Hebrew Bible does not contain a doctrine of the Trinity." And the New Catholic Encyclopedia also says: "The doctrine of the Holy Trinity is not taught in the O[ld] T[estament]."
The Triune God, Jesuit Edmund Fortman admits: "The Old Testament . . . tells us nothing explicitly or by necessary implication of a Triune God who is Father, Son and Holy Spirit. . . . There is no evidence that any sacred writer even suspected the existence of a [Trinity] within the Godhead. . . . Even to see in [the "Old Testament"] suggestions or foreshadowings or 'veiled signs' of the trinity of persons, is to go beyond the words and intent of the sacred writers."
Why many authentic Pasters, Bishops and Pops declared trinity a pagan and false dogma.
Bernhard Lohse says in A Short History of Christian Doctrine: "As far as the New Testament is concerned, one does not find in it an actual doctrine of the Trinity."
The New International Dictionary of New Testament Theology similarly states: "The N[ew] T[estament] does not contain the developed doctrine of the Trinity. 'The Bible lacks the express declaration that the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit are of equal essence' [said Protestant theologian Karl Barth]."
Yale University professor E. Washburn Hopkins affirmed: "To Jesus and Paul the doctrine of the trinity was apparently unknown; . . . they say nothing about it."—Origin and Evolution of Religion.
Historian Arthur Weigall notes: "Jesus Christ never mentioned such a phenomenon, and nowhere in the New Testament does the word 'Trinity' appear. The idea was only adopted by the Church three hundred years after the death of our Lord."—The Paganism in Our Christianity.
Primitive Christianity did not have an explicit doctrine of the Trinity such as was subsequently elaborated in the creeds."—The New International Dictionary of New Testament Theology.
"The early Christians, however, did not at first think of applying the [Trinity] idea to their own faith. They paid their devotions to God the Father and to Jesus Christ, the Son of God, and they recognised the . . . Holy Spirit; but there was no thought of these three being an actual Trinity, co-equal and united in One."—The Paganism in Our Christianity.
Why Wikipedia rejects dogma of trinity?
Neither the Old Testament nor New Testament uses the term "Trinity," though Trinitarians believe the concept is implicit in various biblical passages (see Scripture section below). The doctrine of the Trinity is the result of continuous exploration by the church of the biblical data, argued in debate and treatises.[1] It was expressed in early writings from the beginning of the second century forward.[1] The First Council of Nicaea in 325 AD established a nearly universal Trinitarian dogma and expressly rejected any heresies.
Why New Encyclopædia Britannica refuted trinity?
The New Encyclopædia Britannica says: “Neither the word Trinity, nor the explicit doctrine as such, appears in the New Testament, nor did Jesus and his followers intend to contradict the Shema in the Old Testament: ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord’ (Deut. 6:4). . . . The doctrine developed gradually over several centuries and through many controversies. . . . By the end of the 4th century . . . the doctrine of the Trinity took substantially the form it has maintained ever since.”—(1976), Micropædia, Vol. X, p. 126.
Why New Catholic Encyclopedia declares trinity, a pagan dogma?
The New Catholic Encyclopedia states: “The formulation ‘one God in three Persons’ was not solidly established, certainly not fully assimilated into Christian life and its profession of faith, prior to the end of the 4th century. But it is precisely this formulation that has first claim to the title the Trinitarian dogma. Among the Apostolic Fathers, there had been nothing even remotely approaching such a mentality or perspective.”—(1967), Vol. XIV, p. 299.
Why The Encyclopedia Americana declares the trinity is falsehood?
In The Encyclopedia Americana we read: “Christianity derived from Judaism and Judaism was strictly Unitarian [believing that God is one person]. The road which led from Jerusalem to Nicea was scarcely a straight one. Fourth century Trinitarianism did not reflect accurately early Christian teaching regarding the nature of God; it was, on the contrary, a deviation from this teaching.”—(1956), Vol. XXVII, p. 294L.

We believe in one WHAT and three WHO'S. Jesus said that He and the Father are one. He also said that after Him (Jesus ascension into Heaven) He would send another (Holy Spirit.) God the Father created all things and Jesus spoke of and to, God the Father=1. Jesus Himself is God. He said so and proved it=2. The Holy Spirit descended upon Jesus at His baptism and was sent to all mankind after His ascension=3. One God. within three Godhead's. One what, three who's.

The word trinity is not in the Bible but the triune character of God is throughout the Bible. I understand that trinity is hard to understand. Nothing in the Bible make very much sense if we do not let Holy Spirit to guide us. : )

First read this

So you know that Christianity originated from Buddhism.
The Trinity is originally a buddhist concept. In Buddhism its called 'Triratna' which means 3 jewels (Buddha , dhamma, sangha). Early christians borrowed from buddhism so it became Trinity. I read somewhere that in greek its was called 'Trinata' which became trinity.

Because I love Jesus and that is his promise and if you don't change for him, it will be you that goes to hell.
It dose not matter what any other man taught, The son of God showed us the way, who can teach better than him?
The only one that God him self sent is the truth and the only way!

........So.... you think it's preferrable to deny the Holy Trinity "crap" (come on, choose better words, or no one is ever going to want to listen to you) which has been preached as the true incarnation of God and instead follow some nutjob who claimed that Jesus wasn't the son of God?
I'm not seeing any good side to your arguement.
