How easy is it for Trinitarians to misread the scriptures?

Soapy

Son of his Father: The Heir and Prince
It's very simple. Something can't be one thing and three things at the same time.
Careful here... it IS possible but I know what you mean...!

Trini’s will say that it’s possible to be:
  • Mother
  • Sister
  • Daughter
One person - three titles!

And use this to justify trinity.

But the logic is flawed.

Since this is their proof... suggest that the trini explore where a woman is:
  • Daughter
  • ...
  • ...
Daughter only... no sister, not a mother!!

Oh dear, the ‘trinity’ is broken:
  • One person - one title!!

The True Holy Trinity is the "family",
Mother, Father, Child
You can call that all sorts of things, like a trio. But is it the Trinity proper, which Christianity took as the word to label its unique doctrine? No. You are stealing a label and redefining is, which is misappropriation. It bugs me, and I'm not even a Christian.

And YOU are not a "child", and have no "mother" , and have no "father",
is this correct ???

Three modes of one thing are not the same as three things being one thing, which is essentially what Christianity claims: One God, three persons. Not One God three modes of God.

No, I am defining the original gnostic teaching, that the RCC stole and "redefined" for their own greedy benefit.

Gnosticism is not a "religion",
We have no creeds, no dogma, no "priesthood", no BS.
Ours is an "inside job".
Gnosticism attaches itself to the texts of Christianity usually, but it has certain main tenets:
1. We are the true enlightened beings, because we are privy to the hidden knowledge.

2. Spirit is good, the carnal is bad.

Again, the arrogance of Gnosticism. No other religion even comes close.

It may help you to know that gnostics honored and referenced the "Sacred Feminine"
the "Female" part of the whole androgynous "Father" (God).
We know that the "Holy Spirit" in orthodox Christian doctrine is the "Mother".

Whereas the RCC purposely and intentionally made it a "He" in their "canon".
So that they, being a male dominated institution, adopting a Patriarchal ( male dominate ) "religion",
could exercise complete control ( OPPRESSION ) over the MOST IMPORTANT half of humanity,

the "FEMALE".

NOW you know why you (females) have been oppressed in this world for the last 6000 years.
