So that’s a little bit of a non sequitur, isn’t it?

You are the one who made reference in regards to the Trinity.

Therefore, it is not a problem to me to acknowledge that some really important things that the original Christians believed were left out of the collection of manuscripts that we now call the Bible.

Does that include documents that in now way resemble how the extant document should have been translated? Why would significant text changes to the bom be made a hundred years after translation of the most perfect document - absent an extant ms?

That’s because you accused me of polytheism, presumably because I don’t accept the Nicene Creed. Sigh.

Of the 3,000 “changes” to the BOM, I’m not familiar with all of them. Those that I am familiar with were mostly to correct punctuation, printers errors, etc. As I understand it, the translation as transcribed by Oliver Cowdery lacked punctuation. They don’t concern me.

On the other hand, the passage in 1 John cited by most believers in the Nicene Creed, called the Johannine Comma, is now universally recognized as having been added hundreds of years after the fact by a monk.
