Can't get any more simple than that...

Ha well you'll have the Trinny's flipping out, here in a sec. But oh well.

Why is that? I have been going to Trinitarian churches for the last 7 years and they only preach and sing about One God and His name is Jesus Christ!

Mark where do you line up????

--on the other side of most 'Doctrines.' They--like politics--seem only to divide? But I am convinced that Jesus Christ is Lord, yes. I also know that Christ has more Names than we know.

Now, applying Occam's Razor to theology... is it possible?

What are the competing theories which predict the same event?

If Oneness and Trinity are competing theories, do they predict the same event?

I would argue they do not, and therefore Occam's Razor does not apply. I would further argue that trinitarianism is inherently self-contradictory, and therefore is to be rejected, not because it is 'more complex' than Oneness, but because it is false and impossible.
