I’m capable of doubting anything, and willing to change my view provided the evidence is consistent and reasonable. Your cherry-picking verses to back up your view, while ignoring the numerous ones that contradict it, doesn’t meet the standard.

For instance, what do you do with John 1:1?

Then there’s the matter of Jesus claiming to be God in front of the Pharisees; which, incidentally, is precisely why they were eager to stone him. So Jesus misspoke? I give him more credit than that.

And the fuller context of 1 Corinthians 13:11 doesn’t do anything to change its application to your erroneous and unscriptural view that a child should be able to fully understand God. As an example of mischaracterizing something, your citation in no way challenges my point. If you look at the text again, note that it references our understanding God’s will, not his nature.

I think you are full of crap on both statements.

At what points could you doubt the trinity?

If you truly value consistency then reading the Bible as if Jesus is God is contradicting your values.

Start with the simple, clear, easy to understand verses and descriptions of God, then move on and interpret the other verses in light of the clear ones, not vice versa.

Otherwise your research on the topic is less valid than that of the Global Warming crowd.

Is God visible?

Is God a man?

Does God change?
