Paul did not preach the Trinity in his letters.

Now, Mark, you have been corrected on this many times. Here is just ONE verse that Paul wrote, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit:

Correction: we've corrected you guys many times. The early Church Fathers did not write on the Trinity for a couple of centuries. Some of them did not accept the theology and were lost. 2 Corinthians 13:14 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen.

Very good. The trouble is that it was not part of Paul's letter and was added many years later as the tripartate baptismal formula was developed. It does not show up for centuries, because it was never part of Paul's teaching or theology. The Church added it during its process of harmonization.

Does that sound like "trinity" to you? You want me to post the other ones or do you still have them from the LAST time we discussed this?

Why don't you post some clear Trinitarian verse this time that is not quite ambiguous and has to be read into? Preferably some that weren't added several hundred years after the writer.

How do you know? Who's privy to the information on where they ended up?

Did someone tell you? Who?

That's interesting. Not believing in a doctrine that wasn't articulated for centuries is enough to damn them? Do you have Scriptural support for that?

Nope, I've got better things to do with my time than travel down that road with you for what the fifth or sixth time now? Here is a good source if you are really serious this time:
