Notice the criteria is that the interpretation of Scripture be acceptable over being correct?

Isn't this what ALL Christians do?

NOWHERE does the Bible use the word "Trinity", do you accept Mormon interpretation that rejects the Trinity or do you believe basic Christian dogma?

NOWHERE does Jesus Christ say that He is God, do you accept Mormon interpretation that says He is simply the Son of God or do you believe basic Christian dogma?

People have been coming up with bizarre interpretations of the Bible for centuries and Christians reject these interpretations because they do not conform to basic Christian dogma.

“NOWHERE does Jesus Christ say that He is God”

Wow you should really read a Bible sometime.

Jesus certainly did say that He was God. The Jews understood it and that's why they tried to stone him, and that's the argument they used to accuse Him of blasphemy to justify His crucifixion.

John 10:24-30 The Jews gathered around him, saying, "How long will you keep us in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly."

Jesus answered, "I did tell you, but you do not believe. The miracles I do in my Father's name speak for me, but you do not believe because you are not my sheep. My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one can snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of my Father's hand. I and the Father are one."

31Again the Jews picked up stones to stone him, 32but Jesus said to them, "I have shown you many great miracles from the Father. For which of these do you stone me?"

33"We are not stoning you for any of these," replied the Jews, "but for blasphemy, because you, a mere man, claim to be God."

John 14:8-9 Philip said, "Lord, show us the Father and that will be enough for us."

Jesus answered: "Don't you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, 'Show us the Father'?

Is that what Catechism teaches ? Or is that Catholic dogma?
The Bible says otherwise.

Mar 12:29 And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:

John 10:30 I and my Father are one.

John 14:9 Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?

John 17:11 And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are.
