I challenge people to actually thoroughly read that article and then comment please.
Having read through most of it, I found it the same ole same ole stuff that a student of scripture would find bewildering.
When you pull a couple of verses out of scripture and force it to say something that contradicts other scriptures, and think you are right, well, is it worth anyone's effort to straighten out the mess that that kind of thinking generates?
I have tried, but to no avail
To try again for people who stubbornly refuse to even consider scriptures that contradict their private interpretation is not worth anyone's time
It might be fun sometimes, but is generally fruitless.
" Jesus "breathed on them, and said to them, "Receive the Holy Spirit..." (John 20:22). "
The KJV correctly has the word "them" in italics because there is no corresponding Greek word there.
the word "en" should be translated "in" not "on"
Therefore their conclusion is wrong because their premise is wrong.
Of course, that won't stop a trinitarian, why should any scripture stop a trinitarian from thinking they are right?
And then there is the statement:
"God is not revealed to "be" love in any other religion in the world other than Christianity because in order
for there to be love, there must be a beloved. "
My emphasis in the bold characters. So where does scripture teach that?
So as is typical, trinitarians will out and out contradict what God says of himself in scripture.
God is love I John 4:8 He does not someone to love to be himself.
He is what He is without anyone to assist him.
God is love whether there is anyone to love or not.
