So you think you are a Christian, even though you do not believe in the doctrines of the faith.

"A core doctrine of Christian Theism is that YHVH exists as three persons, or a trinity, but one essence. The doctrine of the trinity is based upon the teachings of the Bible. Christian theology teaches that the term “trinity” means YHVH exists in three eternal distinctions in one divine essence, known respectively as the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. YHVH is worshiped as the triune God."

which faith are you referring to? the doctrine of the trinity is not a christian doctrine, it's a doctrine of the catholic faith and its branched denominations.

H²O being an example It can be a solid a liquid and a Gas yet it is still H²O our minds trying to comprehend God ? LOL sure on a certain level but He's God and He's revealed that while He is one He has a triune nature about Himself. You can try to label it or not which is fine. I agree the word trinity is never used in scripture however God the father Almighty never once condemns anyone for worshiping Jesus anywhere in scripture. Quite the contrary actually. So we have a dilemma either the bible is flawed because the old testament God was jealous for His glory or Jesus is God. We know Jesus is not an angel or the book of Hebrews is meaningless if Jesus is an angel as the JW's claim He is. When I say angel I mean in the being since as we know God created other beings besides humans. I know angel can and does also mean messenger. Lastly the Apostle Paul borrowed for illustration sake from the Roman/Greek God's and ideas to explain spiritual things does this mean the Paul was a pagan ? No

God is a phase transition. BTW, the triple point of water (where it can exist in all three phases) is .01 C at .61 Kpa So God is extremely unstable.

You got it. That is exactly what I am saying. You can't claim you are a Christian and make up your own doctrines to believe in. It is not left up to your private intepretation.

"He's revealed that while He is one He has a triune nature about Himself."

Where exactly did he "reveal" this? Are there scriptures that say this? Jus one will do if it exist....

Christians don't care about the Hindu trinity.

This apostasy in the early Church that this article is referring to is not the mainstream Christian doctrines like the Trinity, but those false doctrines of which the Watchtower has adopted some. 😏
