Cut and paste your JW doctrine and that's law in your world. Do you even know how your NWT came together? NO doubt it. This is what I mean by un-educated. You regurgitate what your told to believe period. Why Arius and Augustine split on the issues of the trinity? If I asked you why you don't believe in the trinity you will have your cookie cutter response that you regurgitate from your W.T. but you have no clue beyond that period.
You believe in your early church Fathers whoever they were, we'll stick with the Bible. No pagan origins with that.

in there zeal to bring them into the church. However, although the term
is the same as for the pagans, the idea of the meaning is different. So
don't get so hung up on the name used and ignore the truth in the meaning.
As the old saying goes, "Don't throw the baby out with the bath water".

I know you think it's silly but if you know history at least you know that this argument is not new it 1900+ years old. Humans trying to understand God. G-75 I don't mind if you cling to your dogma but at least learn and study it will enlighten you. Why does a huge amount of Christendom believe on thing while a small sect believes something else?
Are we speaking the same english language at all? 3=1=3? Oh my gosh!
PS: Happy Fathers day 🙂
