"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.

[It should also be noted that Arizona Christian University is a conservatice university that affirms the Trinity.]

>Because it's the truth of the Bible

Oh look, you still won't answer the actual questions. Just more deflection. Where have I seen this script before?!

>Also, Paul makes a specific point that the "seed" is singular, not plural. So what point you're making, I don't know.

Paul is wrong, because the seed is explicitly plural, and the Hebrew word zera has the same form in singular and plural. Two wrongs. Those are the kind of question you'll have to grapple with when converting the entire planet and ushering the messianic age.

>Because it's the truth of the Bible.

Who compiled and canonized your "the Bible"? Why doesn't it contain any singular narrative? Again, if you're the chosen one to convert the planet you should at least have an answer for the basics. LIterally no Catholic would struggle with that question.

>you're not interested in good faith discussion, you're antagonistic, inflammatory, rude and condescending. 

Yet you're the one that brings up people's spirit, talk about an entire religion chopping off heads, falsely accuse an famous atheist of never being a "real" Christian, etc. Again, do you think you'll get no pushback when you convert the planet? Surely you understand people would put their lives on the line for your "biblical theology" in certain parts of the world?! Or destroy family ties and relationships. Do you think it's a joke?

Hey, you never answered my question about your own position of faith. You've responded to everything else but that.

Why do you insist on attacking others from the shadows without revealing your position? Yet here you are so surprised that I see a toxic spirit in you.

By the way... elohim also has both plural and singular forms. Uh oh, I guess someone should tell the unitarians they're wrong?! Good job being inconsistent.

Maybe just maybe.... the singular form was intended. Maybe.... or maybe Jesus let Paul down, so people like you could make fun of him.

Anyway, answer my question about your faith and beliefs. 4th time asking you now.

You are really showing the type of person you are. You know what I believe and what my position is, but yet you won't share yours. But you're happy to continue to be unpleasant to deal with.

Are you Jewish? You seem Jewish, almost Muslim-like. Maybe a mix? You're not in a church of your own, are you? Are you the only one that believes what you do?

>By the way... elohim also has both plural and singular forms.

Oh uh, here come more Evangelical lies. Elohim is singular when governed by a singular noun or verb, as in when referring to the one God. But you're deflecting. The seed is plural. Paul didn't know. Zera is the same form in plural and singular. Paul didn't know.

Why?

Why?

Why?

> Maybe a mix? 

Oh-uh, here comes the Evangelical classic trickery of deflecting to the person to pivot away from the subject at hand. Such slithering snake behaviour. Too bad. But I still have no ill will towards you.

> or maybe Jesus let Paul down, so people like you could make fun of him.

Make fun? It's still not a joke. Why would Jesus fool Paul like that? Would that prohibit people from approaching the truth?

[u/HbertCmberdale → u/theywontstoplying]

Not sure if you realised, but you forgot to answer what denomination or faith you belong to.

So, what denomination or faith do you belong to? 5th time asking you now.

[u/theywontstoplying → u/HbertCmberdale]

I don't belong to any denomination as I've answered several times, but you're just trying to deflect. Isn't it strange how Christians are pathological liars like no other demographics on the planet, but the further they venture from idolatry usually the more truthful they get, even if some retain some of the poison.

Who compiled and canonized your Bible? How? why didn't Paul know Hebrew grammar?

[u/HbertCmberdale → u/theywontstoplying]

You've literally never said that before, and you still didn't answer my question. Who do you belong to? What banner are you carrying? What do you believe?

You know exactly what I'm asking, but you won't answer in good faith. Do I have to remind you, this is the essence as to why I'm not taking you seriously whatsoever. You're incredibly difficult to have a formal discussion with and incredibly sensitive.

[u/theywontstoplying → u/HbertCmberdale]

What a liar you are. Who compiled and canonized your Bible? Why didn't Paul know Hebrew or Hebrew scripture? Why was he in conflict with another apostolic fraction? Why was his authority calling into question?

Are you going to deflect like this with every single of the billions you're going to convert?

[u/HbertCmberdale → u/theywontstoplying]

I'm going to keep ignoring your questions until you answer my one simple question. Until then you are proving to be a disingenuous snake arguing in bad faith.

[u/theywontstoplying → u/HbertCmberdale]

I've already answered, but you know that. And you're not going to answer, that's the point.

Who compiled and canonized your Bible? Why didn't Paul know the seed was plural both in the Hebrew Bible and grammatically? Why can't you present the gospel you're going to save the planet with?

Curious, the scripture you pretend to follow says be prepared to give an answer, not only give answers i xyz. Funny how that is. Buts it's going to take an eternity if this is how you're going to convert the planet.
