Some have become so anti Trinitarian – that they have abolished the existence of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost, or any distinction there may be – this is poor biblical interpretation – and anti-biblical.
It frustrates me to know that we have ostracized an entire group of Christianity that perhaps 95% and probably even more than that here and abroad can adequately discuss – when we call them 3 god monsters, polytheistic, and 3 god papists… it displays the ignorance that is ours – and the reason we are so quickly dismissed in mainstream Christianity – this our approach and thus our lot in life – little more than a blurb in world evangelism, and the history books –

Once again I have to wonder where you get your statistics, 95%!!!!!!
Some Trinitarians can discuss their doctrine from the Bible convincingly, but many cannot and I believe those that cannot quote scripture to describe their beliefs is much less than 95%.
We are not all ignorant of the doctrine of the Trinity. I was until last year. I have been given an education the hard way and the more I learn the more I see it for what it is.....a doctrine of man. Recently I've been reading more of the writings of the early fathers and about the early fathers. The doctrine of the Trinity took many many years to refine into what it is today.
Have you read Tertullian? His Trinity is much different from the "orthodox" version and he even admitted the majority of simple "believers" thought he was polytheistic in his day and age. What does that tell you?
