So, then tell me where exactly in scripture do you, SVITw, Boatbums and Old Reggie, where exactly do you see in Scripture where God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit are referred to as the Holy Trinity? And yet this is the Truth as defined by that very Church founded before the canon of Scripture.
That it took the council of Nicea to come up with the words “Holy Trinity”? Maybe to actually put it in those exact words, but I hardly doubt the “church” of believers did not understand the concept quite clearly. How did the idea of the “heresy” come about if not for there being the truth first? Read:
1 John 5:6-7 (King James Version)
6This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth.
7For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.
