Experiencing the Tuggy/White Debate, Street Interviews, and Post-debate RoundtableArticulate Aplogetics - YouTube Channel THE CHALLENGE, SIX FACTS No NT author ever collected the Trinitarian propositions together as a basis for any teaching. No Bible author teaches us about a being that has three persons. The contradictions that are self-evident from the Trinity are unnoticed and not addressed by any NT author. No Biblical author teaches a dual nature theory or uses it to explain these contradictions No New Testament author ever resorted to “mystery” to defend their complex and difficult explanation of God and his Christ. No New Testament author ever made belief in the Trinity a requirement for being a follower of Christ.
