@josephw saidNo it isn’t.
Your interpretation of the scriptures is "man made".
@divegeester saidDidn’t you say you used your moral compass to read and decide what is good scripture and bad?
No it isn’t.
@divegeester saidYou don’t defend your stance and suggesting simply disagreeing about something is not debunking it.
I’m not confused at all. I’ve debunked the man made trinity doctrine so many times it’s almost routine.
@kellyjay saidYes.

@kellyjay saidI’ve debunked the trinity doctrine more times than I can remember, as have several other posters here over the years.

@divegeester saidI didn't add the word 'trinity' to the Bible, and since you admit you add and take
Yes.
Nothing I believe is man-made though, I’m not adding anything to the bible like you do; e.g. the trinity is man made.

You were spoon-fed it, you love it.
@kellyjay saidNo one has “added it to the bible”…it’s not in there because it’s man made.

What do you think debunking means
@divegeester saidYour modalism is also not in the scriptures.

You’re welcome.
@kellyjay saidCorrect. But it doesn’t logically follow that what I believe is man made. Even as much as you would like it to.

@kellyjay saidI have never, not even once, mentioned “Modalism”.
Your modalism is also not in the scriptures.
@divegeester saidWhat you promote is modalism; your definition of God is just that. Your description
I have never, not even once, mentioned “Modalism”.
You are making it up.
But I do like how your use of “also” acknowledges that the trinity is unscriptural.
Modalism
Modalism, also called Sabellianism, is the unorthodox belief that God is one person who has revealed himself in three forms or modes in contrast to the Trinitarian doctrine where God is one being eternally existing in three persons. According to Modalism, during the incarnation, Jesus was simply God acting in one mode or role, and the Holy Spirit at Pentecost was God acting in a different mode. Thus, God does not exist as the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit at the same time. Rather, He is one person and has merely manifested himself in these three modes at various times. Modalism thus denies the basic distinctiveness and coexistence of the three persons of the Trinity.
Modalism was condemned by Tertullian (c. 213, Tertullian Against Praxeas 1, in Ante Nicene Fathers, vol. 3). Also known as Sabellianism, it was condemned as heresy by Dionysius, bishop of Rome (c. 262).
Modalism is probably the most common theological error concerning the nature of God (i.e., who God is). "Present day groups that hold to forms of this error are the United Pentecostal and United Apostolic Churches. They deny the Trinity, teach that the name of God is Jesus... modalist churches often accuse Trinitarians of teaching three gods. This is not what the Trinity is. The correct teaching of the Trinity is one God in three eternal coexistent persons: The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit." [1]
