I'm well aware of what faith is. I'm glad you that you have and cherish yours. I have faith that God created the Universe among the other things as well. I choose, as do you, which knowledge to participate in with a knower. :-) The trinity is not one of them. I am convinced as well that your acceptance of the doctine of Trinity is, simply put, by faith. Why does that cause such angst among those on this thread?

Happily, I seem to have missed out on the angst. :^)

"I am convinced as well that your acceptance of the doctine of Trinity is, simply put, by faith."
The Trinity is a faith article. No angst on declaring that.
As a Catholic I know this from Jesus Christ's teachings in the New Testament. (In the beginning was the Word and the Word was God, Baptize in the name of the Father, The Son, The Holy Spirit, I will send the Spirit, The Father and I are one, This is my Son listen to Him. ...)
Also in the Old Testament, in Genesis 1:26: "Then God said: "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness."
And the Ecumenical Councils have also defined The Trinity and we express our belief in the Trinity in various creeds/prayers. It is by faith, by God's Word and the guidance of the Holy Spirit.
