Trinity
Your contribution to the Trinity article contains some good information, but is not appropriate for the article's lead paragrpah. Please consider moving your addition further down into the article - perhaps in the section that deals with Scripture. Also, please fill in the "edit summary" box when making changes in an article - it is considered good manners to do so. Pastordavid 21:42, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

Throughout the history of this article, the statements have been in or near the lead, that neither the word "trinity", nor any explicit formulation of the doctrine, appear in the New Testament. This is appropriate, since this is a statement of fact. However, that is an entirely different statement than "the consensus of Modern exegetes and theologians is that ... etc." This would have it appear that the discovery of the facts waited for "Modern" times, which is not the case. Furthermore, it is an argumentative statement of the facts, with an appeal to authority that exegetes and theologians now all agree that the doctrine is not biblical. This is not what the cited references say, and they would not be correct even if they did say this. &mdash; Mark (Mkmcconn) ** 19:13, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
