The first place that appears in the Bible is in the book of Deuteronomy. Are we do discard everything past there?
The main issues are on the substance of the faith(Trinity, person of Christ, views on heaven. afterlife etc.)
Is this the whole three in one thingy?
How about I post an extract from the Catholic Encyclopedia that shows that interpretation was not considered correct at the time it was adopted?
----------------------------------------
In the remaining New Testament writings numerous passages attest how clear and definite was the belief of the Apostolic Church in the three Divine Persons.
In certain texts the coordination of Father, Son, and Spirit leaves no possible doubt as to the meaning of the writer.
Thus in 2 Corinthians 13:13, St. Paul writes: "The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the charity of God, and the communication of the Holy Ghost be with you all."
Here the construction shows that the Apostle is speaking of three distinct Persons. Moreover, since the names God and Holy Ghost are alike Divine names, it follows that Jesus Christ is also regarded as a Divine Person.
But apart from passages such as these, where there is express mention of the Three Persons, the teaching of the New Testament regarding Christ and the Holy Spirit is free from all ambiguity.
The doctrine as to the Holy Spirit is equally clear. That His distinct personality was fully recognized is shown by many passages.

That is not from anything written by a Mormon. It is an expression of the beliefs of the Apostolic Church.
Why should we believe the same as you when it is wrong?
You add to God’s Word after the last chapter was given to John. You and the Jehovah’s Witnesses try the same tactics. Your mind tricks and twisting of the Scriptures will not work on me.
