The Apostles did not write down every critical point or you could take us to the definitive chapter on trinitarian theology.

The Apostles wrote down every critical point that God wanted us to have...And besides, God did not write on too many subjects, if any, that were completely defined in a singles chapter, or a single book...

Fact is, there is no definitive instruction on the Trinity in the scriptures...Your religion's guess on it's understanding of the Trinity is no better than some others...

Really? Where does the scripture say that? If you can't show a verse, then you are just making it up (and taking the name of the Lord in vain, I might add).

And besides, God did not write on too many subjects, if any, that were completely defined in a singles chapter, or a single book...

That is true, but I was spotting you by allowing for a simple scriptural answer that defines trinitarian theology when in point of fact without Church Tradition there would be NO cogent doctrine on the Trinity. No where in the New Testament do we see anything other than hints about trinitarian theology. So in point of fact, you are just reinforcing my position, not yours.

Fact is, there is no definitive instruction on the Trinity in the scriptures...Your religion's guess on it's understanding of the Trinity is no better than some others...

Again, that is precisely my point. If you go by scripture alone, there is no definitive instruction. Nevertheless, ALL legitimate Christian denominations subscribe to the exact understanding of the Trinity promulgated by the Catholic Church.

So even in their heresy, Protestants testify to the authority of the Catholic Church.
