“As you are no doubt now discovering, Mormonism Apologetics is founded in defending the lies at the heart of Mormonism. To do this, they resort to sowing as much doubt as they can regarding the orthodox Christian perspective”

As I hope you are observing, anti-Mormons are founded in defending several doctrines that didn’t exist among the apostles and early Christians. To do this they sneer and smear evidence from the early Christian leaders and the Bible that they can’t address on a factual basis.

Trinity is a Biblical principle chart

:

  A=B
  John 10:30   " I and the Father are one."  
  B=C
  John 14:16-18
   16.  And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Counselor to be with you forever--
   17.  the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you.
   18.  I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you.
 
 Therefore A=C 
  
  The CONCEPT “trinity” IS in the Bible.

the trinity exists in scripture as Jesus instructed his disciples to baptize in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

The apostles founded churches and upon their deaths other bishops were appointed to succeed them in leadership.

The early christians left behind evidence of their beliefs, the trinity being among them....

Where have I ‘sneered or smeared evidence’? In each case I have attempted to post as much direct evidence as possible, so that people might see for themselves and judge what is truth.

How is it that when I talk of a priesthood of all believers after Christ, you bring up evidence from the periods before Christ (see your post 622 where you speak of Nachon)? Either this demonstrates gross misunderstanding on your part, or a deliberate disregard for truth. Now you speak of others ‘snearing and smearing’, when in fact you do the same through this last post.

For shame Grig.

If I have misappropriated evidence of any kind, please let me know and you will have my immediate apology.
