Produce the Pauline writings that prove the Trinity. I have challenged the antiCatholics a number of times to do so and they have sadly failed.

On the contrary, they have been demonstrated many times. If you choose not to believe hem, nobody can help that.

To the contrary; they have never been demonstrated. There is no Trinitarian proof in Paul; one can never come up with the dogma of the Trinity by reading only Paul. Paul taught mostly a subordinationist Jesus to the Father and a subordinationist Holy Spirit to Jesus and the Father.

Can you prove who wrote the Gospels? Or much of the NT? Come on - I challenged you guys then and challenge you now.

What are the traditions that were passed down to believers in the churches to which Paul wrote? How do you know what they were? How can you verify them?What are the traditions that were passed down to believers in the churches to which Paul wrote? How do you know what they were? How can you verify them?

Okay; I will accept that you have given up on the idea that you know who wrote the Gospels. If not, please let me know.

I cannot verify the Church documentation any more than you can. I believe; I do not claim authority. I believe in the Faith, not the little bunch that you run with.

Just to make it clear who's saying what in this quoted part as the way you posted it left the incorrect conclusion that I said all of the italicized portions.....

Nobody can force you to accept he proof given. That doesn't mean it wasn't given.

Try answering MY questions about church tradition instead of your own.
