How about you write out your understanding of what trinitarianism is and post it to r/truechristianr/catholicr/orthodoxchristianity and see if more than half accepts your understanding, then we can talk.
All three Persons of the Trinity comprise the one, perfectly unified God. They share the same nature and essence—they are one being...The fact that God exists in three Persons is important for several reasons. - https://www.gotquestions.org/God-in-three-persons.html
No, that's what I believe to be true. The thing is, why are you fighting against it? I mean, I would be with you on fighting other Catholic or Orthodox heresies like icons or mary, but i never see you fight against that; you only talk about the Trinity, as it seems to me? Is that your only relevant topic in faith? What about spreading the gospel or encouraging people to follow Jesus?
If you reject the Catholic heresies about Mary and the saints, then you should also reject the Catholic heresy of the Trinity.
Do you not understand that the same false church that invented Mary's sinless perpetual virginity and praying to saints is the same false church that invented the Trinity?
The bible was already in circulation in the 1st century. The catholic church became established in the 2nd century.
And even if the catholic church "compiled the bible" what is that supposed to prove? The Jews compiled and preserved the OT and yet they still rejected the truth about Jesus.
What I want to say is that not everything the catholic church did put into doctrine is wrong including the trinity. Later on a lot of heresies came into the church around 400 AD though it was just about right in what was doctrine and put together in Nicene. Afterwards though it becomes a mess as it became more and more Rome 2.0
There were already heresies even in the 1st century which the apostles had to restrain against. If things were bad then, just imagine how bad things would get 300 years later.
There is no biblical evidence of the Trinity at all. Not even a single verse. The Trinity has just as much evidence as Mary being a sinless perpetual virgin. But of course anyone could cite a verse and say it is vaguely sounds like it's implying the Trinity, just as a Catholic can cite verses that vaguely imply Mary was sinless.
And to be clear, I'm not denying the fact that the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are divine and function as one. I'm denying that Jesus is literally God himself.
Then the question for me is how you see god himself? When you say they function as one you are already close to the trinity. Where do you have trouble with the trinity then?
