PPM, let’s say I’m a stranger — someone brand new in the faith, just starting to learn about God. If I came to you and asked, 'Can you show me who or what the Trinity is from the Bible?' how would you answer me?

But here’s the catch — to be fair, I’m asking you not to use verses like 1 John 5:7 that were never part of the original Greek manuscripts. We both know that portion about 'the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost' was a later addition, not found in the earliest texts. So let’s stick to what was actually written by the apostles and prophets — the true, inspired Word.

Also, can you explain where the term 'Trinity' even came from? Why is it not found anywhere in Scripture? And yet it’s used to define the very nature of God?

So just using your own understanding of the original Scriptures — not copy-pasted catechism, not church councils, not RCC tradition — but from what’s actually written by the authors of the Bible…
Can you show me, from their words, this concept of a triune God?

Because if the Bible is sufficient — as I believe it to be— then the nature of God should be clearly revealed in it without needing man-made terminology or later theological inventions, right?

Take off the RCC hat for a moment and let’s just open the Word as it is. Surely you do not fear this?

You are demonstrating, that you have not done serious homework on 1 John 5:7 = it belongs in way more scripts, than what the 'said' experts claim.

There is absolutely zero wrong with it, it's just that the Deluded do not know what it means and is saying, BECAUSE of the Blatant corruptions of John 1:1,2.
Not to mention, they then corrupt the following verse, 5:8, which says nothing of a sort, as per the Bibles.

. For three there arewho bearing testimony in the heaven;the Father, theWord, and the Holy Spirit and these three, areone;(The Almighty God & Father).

Refer to anyone of them, Father, The Word or Holy Spirit = Referring to the God and Father.

The Spirit, and the water, and the blood -- also these three"in" the one. (The Son and Man).
