The very earliest Christians, ones who where taught by the apostles themselves believed in the concept of the Trinity that Jesus was God.
And here 2000 years later, you come up with a different version, honestly who do you think got it wrong, them or you. I know who I would believe,, full stop… your call..
Ignatius of Antioch
"Ignatius, also called Theophorus, to the Church at Ephesus in Asia . . . predestined from eternity for a glory that is lasting and unchanging, united and chosen through true suffering by the will of the Father in Jesus Christ our God (Epistle to the Ephesians 1 [A.D. 110]).
-------------
Ppm, there are a number of quotes attributed to Ignatius, none of which are regarded as inspired and none that suggest he believed in the concept of the trinity.
Ignatius calls Almighty God “the only true God, the unbegotten and unapproachable, the Lord of all, the Father and Begetter of the only-begotten Son,” showing the distinction between God and His Son.9 He speaks of “God the Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.”10 And he declares: “There is one God, the Almighty, who has manifested Himself by Jesus Christ His Son.”11
