Huh? I know quite a few who study the Bible who are atheists. In fact, it seems most atheists know the Bible better than most Christians!No one who study the Bible is agnostic.

Maybe they did, and that's why they're all atheists now.They did not study it with me
Not all Christian denominations are trinitarians. For those that are, it's probably pretty important. I have never been party to a challenge to that."My God has three parts." or "My God consists of three persons." are both arguments people have thought worthwhile to defend in threads recently. But I have a question about these claims:
Is it possible that God actually consists of four or more parts/persons?
(But these extra persons do not involve humanity so much. They are merely parts required for God's own divine purposes, so God only thought it necessary to disclose the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit to humanity via the scriptures.)
And a bonus question (that I'm sure has been asked already): How important is it to the Christian faith that a believer accept that God has three parts? What if a person (out of concern for the first question) made the claim that God has AT LEAST three parts? Would that be heresy?
It is for them, even if the Scriptures says absolutly nothing about that manmade doctrine.Not all Christian denominations are trinitarians. For those that are, it's probably pretty important.
Yes, the Trinity is the source of other divine sons and spirits IMOP."My God has three parts." or "My God consists of three persons." are both arguments people have thought worthwhile to defend in threads recently. But I have a question about these claims:

Did Jesus know that he was just one of three, as you say?

Yeah, they're a lot like the JWs who call the Catholic church the Whore of Babylon.They may closed topics and delete posts that refute the doctrine with the Bible in some religious forums, and they can even ban participants accusing them of heretics, and not being Christians.

I found that on this Fake News site right here. Do you recognize the site? https://www.jw.org/en/bible-teachings/questions/babylon-the-great/You may be better informed before expanding fake news and slander online.
JWs don't teach that.
Well, the expression "Catholic Church" came to your mind when you read that, BUT IT'S NOT THERE.I found that on this Fake News site right here. Do you recognize the site? https://www.jw.org/en/bible-teachings/questions/babylon-the-great/
Babylon the Great fits the profile of false religion. Rather than teaching people how to draw closer to the true God, Jehovah, false religion actually leads them to worship other gods. The Bible calls this “spiritual prostitution.” (Leviticus 20:6; Exodus 34:15, 16) Beliefs such as the Trinity and the immortality of the soul and practices such as the use of images in worship date back to ancient Babylon and continue to permeate false religion. These religions also blend their worship with love for the world. The Bible refers to this form of unfaithfulness as spiritual adultery.—James 4:4.If you honestly believe that JWs do not identify the Roman Catholic Church as the Whore of Babylon, you're in serious denial.
False religion’s wealth and showy display of it match the picture that the Bible paints of Babylon the Great, who is “clothed in purple and scarlet” and “adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls.” (Revelation 17:4) Babylon the Great is the source of “the disgusting things of the earth,” or the teachings and actions that actually dishonor God. (Revelation 17:5) The members of false religion are the “peoples and crowds and nations and tongues” who support Babylon the Great.—Revelation 17:15.
Do you consider Catholics legitimate Christians?
Because I know what the JWs believe. They specified the Trinity in there. Rome sits on 7 hills, etc. While they try to be "general" about it in their literature, you know damn well that is what they believe. You call the Catholic Church a false religion, don't you?Well, the expression "Catholic Church" came to your mind when you read that, BUT IT'S NOT THERE.
There are thousands of other religions with those same doctrines which originate in Babylon; we know a lot of them as paganism.
Why did you think on that church when you read that?
