>Platonism was not trinitarianism it was tri-modal.

it layed the groundwork for the trinity you now believe. If you can't
see that then no amount of reasoning will convince you. It is you that
needs to do your homework. You feed on what is friendly to what you
want to believe- you like to have your ears tickled. I could could
quote countless scholars who assert that Plato paved the way to Nicea
and you can come back with your trinitarian apologists and nothing will
change here.

>You are an idolator! That is, you view God other than He is, and this
>is basic to all idolatry.

oh the tragic irony here. I believe in the same God Jesus believed in.
You do not. Jesus referred to this God as the "only true God" (John
17:3) He called him God on earth (John 20:17) and in heaven (Rev.
3:2,12). It is you that believes in a pagan 3-headed monstrosity that
can't even be supported by complicated philosophy. You have gone awry
in your sophistry. Jesus is inferior to YHWH- always has been and
always will be.

so what? they aren't triune

You only think it's "trinitarian" because you already believe in the
trinity. Such is the case with Matthew 28:19, which is an obvious
influence. You are guilty of circular reasoning again.


>Everything was lost after the

that is not my contention. it was a gradual decay- as time passed Greek
philosophy, gnosticism, politics played an ever increasing role in the
"church". Polycarp seems to stick quite closely to his teacher John for
example.

>The problem with this is that it is totally contrary to the Hebrew
>Scriptures. Revelation was progressive

Sure but not when it comes to fundamentals like...what the soul is for
example - Adam was made from dust and he returned to dust (Gen. 3:19)
He didn't *have* a soul he *became* a living soul (Gen. 2:7). God's
people always believed in the resurrection of the dead not an immortal
soul- which was popular amongst pagan religions. As time passed some of
God's people were polluted with this teaching. Same goes for your silly
trinity. After the death of the twelve there was no "progression" from
monotheism to the "trinity" . It was an aberration not a progression.

>Admittedly, Trinitarianism is spoken of sporatically in the epistles.

more accurately- not at all. Do you not find it odd that
