Annoyingly Progressive Since 2006
Not explicitly. But it is implied "all over the place" in the Bible.it states all over the bible that jesus us the son of god. Not a equal part of god.
Not so much a problem of contradiction as one of solidifying a heretofore unknown (and amorphous) concept.Thats the problem with the trinity, it was created to fix a problem of contradiction
No it doesn't.but only made more because the trinity goes against the gospels own words.
Hmm...With not one word about the ideas behind the trinity in one page of the bible.
"My Lord and my God."
"I am in the Father and the Father in me."
"If you have seen me, you have seen the Father."
"The word was God...the word became flesh and lived among us."
...for starters.
it's hard to deny any construct of God is a manufactured thing.its hard to deny the trinity is a manufactured deity
