Your NERVE to proclaim those who refuse to accept this conflation are not “Christian” is utterly unbiblical - if so, no one before the fourth century is then a Christian.

The VOICE OF AUTHORITY has spoken...if you don't believe it, just ask him.

Sure. Also use your head.

Fact: Christians existed before the Traditional Trinity was formulated by conflating Greek Philosophy with biblical theology in the fourth century. Sure, the effort began in the second century with the Apologists, but it certainly wasn’t completed until the fourth century.

Fact: If a standard developed for defining who is and who is not a Christian did not exist prior to the fourth century, then logically, anyone who did not subscribe to said formulation, ante Nicene, cannot possibly be a Christian. That includes Paul, Peter, James, John, and Christ himself.

Really smart, eh?

I chuckled he was so stereotypically responsive. Good thing the Internet, the modern printing press, isn’t burnable.
