Questions? Well, how about this instead: the nature of Nicene Trinitarianism was not understood by the Apostles and the early Church and most definitely not by Paul. It was developed over 3 1/2 centuries by the Church and declared doctrine at Nicea. The nature of this doctrine cannot be proven by Scripture alone, only supported by some verses here and there once the doctrine is well formulated and understood (and contradicted by many more), and therefore anyone who believes in the Nicene Creed had better take the Bible Only Believer (R) trademark off themselves.

So, Mark, what are you asserting here? Why don’t you be candid with all of us and just answer these simple questions: Did the Triune God become God in 325 A.D. by virtue of the creed confessing faith in Him formulated at Nicaea? Did no one believe in Him before that? Did no one understand Him to be Triune before that?
This would require you to type three words to respond. Yes/no. Yes/no. Yes/no.
There are no tricks here, just a straight-up request to answer three simple questions, one word each (More if you feel it necessary).
