Because they're a personality cult that deified their cult leader out of copium, then needed some way to justify not being polytheists but still worshiping both Yoshke and the Lord Almighty.
On the off chance that someone of sound mind might have accidentally joined Christianity on defensible grounds they invented the Trinity to give them no excuse. Thus, it was made a central unrejectable tenet of Christianity to deny basic logic and reality.
Christianity makes no sense without the trinity. The trinity allows us to understand that God has 3 personalities or persons and it ties the whole Bible together.
Without the Gospel of John, there is no way a Christian can justify the belief of trinity. I believe Christ worship is attested through the Epistles and the three Gospels, but Holy Spirit worship is certainly just added in by the time of Constantine for it to be consistent with the Platonic trinity.
The earliest Christians(the Ebionites) believed in one God and one Prophet. The proto-orthodox(Paulines) believed in two Gods, one higher and one lesser, then somewhere in there, the Holy Spirit was added into the formula and by the time of Constantine, the debate had become was the Father equal or higher than the other two gods.
You don't even think for yourself, you just think what your cult leaders tell you to think. There's really no point in talking to you. Not like you know anything of history or of Babylon where your trinity doctrine came from.
The Baptists I know have no idea of Christianity and just have their own personal schizo heresies, I've seen them reinvent Gnosticism entirely on their own several times before and they're also really into demons

I didn't mean literally "Gnostic" but in conversations with them I have encountered such statements as "Satan rules this world" and "the material world is inherently evil", Satanic dominion of the world is pretty popular among American Christians with persecution complexes, not even a controversial belief

Do you really not understand hyperbole? Holy frick dude are you a legit autistic individual?
Trinity filler and redundancy for the divine blessing (repentance, being saved, personal revelation, special feeling of communion with the entirety of god) according to some Christians.
With redundancy I mean that it's not an exclusive function of the holy spirit, as Jesus or the Father himself can also send you the memo, communicate, save, etc. Yet, the holy spirit can't do what Jesus or the Father do.
One who is saved cannot become unsaved, and he who is saved will have works, ie the fruit of repentance. There are also those who do not claim to be saved, and those who claim to be saved but have no works.
Plenty of Jesus' parables and sayings refer to Israel, it's just that the meaning is obfuscated due translation and context. Usually it's when he tells a parable, the listeners doesn't get it, he becomes pissed, he directly warns to his disciples, mentions the end times and how 'someone' would regret it. The story of the fig tree for example, is talking about Israel.
Btw the OT is not focused on the promised land, that's just the first books. The OT becomes more and more historical in nature from 1 Samuel, fully turning into a chronicle in 1 Kings.
This. When you understand the context of the Bible you see that half of what Jesus is saying is preaching apocalyptic doom coming to Israel. He was the original repent or perish guy. He was the original the end is near guy.
Because Coping is the favorite activity of theologians
It's what the Bible teaches
If you have to resort to deduction to find it, you probably shouldn't consider it a fundamental aspect of your faith.
Because they're a personality cult that deified their cult leader out of copium, then needed some way to justify not being polytheists but still worshiping both Yoshke and the Lord Almighty.
Because the real Holy Trinity of Christianity is Cope, Cringe and Larp

"its a mystery, hehe"

Indeed, it's one way to rationalise the contradictions and schizophrenia.

Christians didn't, Catholics did
"Christians" denying the trinity, what will back water baptists think up next holy kek
There were many early non-trinitarian christian sects, moron.
You don't even think for yourself, you just think what your cult leaders tell you to think. There's really no point in talking to you. Not like you know anything of history or of Babylon where your trinity doctrine came from.
lmao do you who else denied the Trinity? Constantine, yeah, THAT Constantine.
Baptists are trinitarians

It is ok to not believe in Jehovah but please save yourself
Why did God keep his nature secret for all the ancient Hebrew prophets. and even his own Son/himself?
The trinity literally makes no sense, which is why even the majority of "christians" don't understand it and are actually non-trinitarian heretics.
Inshallah the infidels will see the error of their ways
What function does the holy spirit serve?
t. homebrewed Christian who tries not to think about it too much

To appeal to trannies.
God needs to be personal is some sense. Trinity is the most logical approach though incomplete
I can't figure it out after 2+ years.
If it once saved always saved, or do we have to repent of sins and keep the commandments and be led by the Holy Spirit?
It's the perseverance of the saints
One who is saved cannot become unsaved, and he who is saved will have works, ie the fruit of repentance. There are also those who do not claim to be saved, and those who claim to be saved but have no works.
>perseverance of the saints
calvanism
Literally manmade doctrine from a murderer called John calvin who lived in like 1800's
does Jesus talk much about Israel? seems like the OT is all about the promised land, then NT is all roman politics
