How easy is it for Trinitarians to misread the scriptures?

Careful here... it IS possible but I know what you mean...!
Trini’s will say that it’s possible to be:
- Mother
- Sister
- Daughter
And use this to justify trinity.
But the logic is flawed.
Since this is their proof... suggest that the trini explore where a woman is:
- Daughter
- ...
- ...
Oh dear, the ‘trinity’ is broken:
- One person - one title!!

You can call that all sorts of things, like a trio. But is it the Trinity proper, which Christianity took as the word to label its unique doctrine? No. You are stealing a label and redefining is, which is misappropriation. It bugs me, and I'm not even a Christian.

My book is the Torah, which is Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy, and no, Gnostics didn't even exist when these were written.

lol....we have always existed, which is why we know "everything".
We are descended from Seth, son of Adam.

Three modes of one thing are not the same as three things being one thing, which is essentially what Christianity claims: One God, three persons. Not One God three modes of God.

You are NOT the authors of the Torah. Sorry. Any such claim is delusional.

Again, the arrogance of Gnosticism. No other religion even comes close.

Moses and all the Prophets were "gnostic".

Gnosticism is not a "religion",
We have no creeds, no dogma, no "priesthood", no BS.
Ours is an "inside job".

No, I am defining the original gnostic teaching, that the RCC stole and "redefined" for their own greedy benefit.

No, Gnosticism was a Greek philosophy that didn't come into existence until much later in history.

Sorry, the term and concept of the RCC's.

Gnosticism attaches itself to the texts of Christianity usually, but it has certain main tenets:
1. We are the true enlightened beings, because we are privy to the hidden knowledge.
2. Spirit is good, the carnal is bad.

It may help you to know that gnostics honored and referenced the "Sacred Feminine"
the "Female" part of the whole androgynous "Father" (God).
We know that the "Holy Spirit" in orthodox Christian doctrine is the "Mother".
Whereas the RCC purposely and intentionally made it a "He" in their "canon".
So that they, being a male dominated institution, adopting a Patriarchal ( male dominate ) "religion",
could exercise complete control ( OPPRESSION ) over the MOST IMPORTANT half of humanity,
the "FEMALE".

NOW you know why you (females) have been oppressed in this world for the last 6000 years.
