3. none of your concern

whatever rocks your socks.
Christians:

Worship Jesus correct and they do worship the God of the old Testament because they are the same God

So we are arguing at least about those points. You say Jesus is NOT God that's the differences.

Augustines writtings were in the late 300's but I know for a fact and I will research that the idea concept whatever label we choose for the trinity was earlier than the 4th Century

The Concept of the trinity was earlier than the 4th century so that must be a JW lie or something

Yes, that is right, it is a Jehovah's Witnesses lie.
But robbie carrobie would rather believe the lie than accept
Jesus the Christ as God and Lord of all.

Is this the best you jokers can do, call everything a lie just because you dont agree with it, or have failed to understand it, your a real bad joke, here it is again, sigh, why i bother, i have no idea,

The New Catholic Encyclopedia states: “The formulation ‘one God in three Persons’ was not solidly established, certainly not fully assimilated into Christian life and its profession of faith, prior to the end of the 4th century

will i spell it out for you, did you notice the reference, was it a Jehovahs Witness that produced the work? No, well what are you talking about? You will also notice it does not say, first mentioned, no it states, 'not solidly established', 'not fully assimilated', do you people understand anything you read? I really doubt it.

That is much different than what the Jehovah's Witnesses are saying in
claiming it originated from paganism, which we have proven to be a lie.

you have proven nothing of the sort, your a fantasy merchant, you cannot even read a text and understand what its saying as this latest accusation of yours has proven, what chances do you have elsewhere?

I have already given references to the fact that Tertullian formulated the
Trinity toward the end of the second century and it first appeared in the
writings at that time. The fact that it was not officially adopted by the
Roman Catholic Church as a doctrine does not nulify when and who
originated the Term "Trinity". It was not used by any pagan religion
and those people that call the pagan triads a trinity are flat out wrong.

Unbelieveable..... and the sad thing is your probably a really smart guy too.

And again who exactly who is this Tertullian dude that we all should follow what he thinks and formulates??
