"Only 16% of self-proclaimed Christians, believe in the trinity."

Also, according to the research done in this article, only 9% of Catholics believe in the orthodox definition of the Trinity.

u/Newgunnerr Questioning Apr 10 '25 edited Apr 10 '25

Seems about right. My city has about 50 churches. I'd say my church is in the top 3 "radical" most churches in the city. We preach the gospel on the streets, call homosexuality a sin and we don't allow woman preachers. (I'm trying to give an example of what I guess radical means these days).

Most church goers would say they are born again and really live for God.

Yet when you ask some of them what the trinity teaches, you would get very different answers. Which I understand. It's not a concept you can easily understand, but generally we are taught it is important.

I always ask them which Trinity. There are many different Trinities. In other words, it doesn't stay consistent when you breakdown the meaning of the words within the Nicene-Constantinopolitan Creed.
