But... you guys do it all the TIME!
I have never said anything like that.
What I want to do is examine the sources and development of the doctrine of the Trinity as it is used by orthodox Christian Churches.
I know you would like to divert the discussion to what Joseph Smith said, but he wasn't alive when this took place.
For this purpose it irrelevant what he said or what I believe. I wasn't alive then either, I don't think you were either, so lets look at what those who were alive taught, and the development of the doctrine.
You claim a knowledge of historical events, so lets use your knowledge as a base. Not your knowledge of the trinity, but of the historical events you say I am misstating.
