Robert M. Bowman, Jr.
- They cite antitrinitarians of widely differing beliefs in support of their
antitrinitarianism.
- They frequently cite theologians and scholars out of context to make
points which those scholars do not support.
- They have claimed certain individuals in church history as forebears
despite their obvious and major errors.
- They regard trinitarian Christianity as a near-universal apostasy from the
biblical faith.
- They point to the failings of trinitarians as evidence that trinitarian
Christianity is apostate and corrupt.
- They argue that Judaism and Islam are correct on the nature of God, while
trinitarian Christianity is wrong.
- They criticize the doctrine of the Trinity for using extrabiblical
language.
- They accuse trinitarians of imposing Greek philosophical conceptions on
the Bible’s teaching about God and Christ.
- They criticize trinitarianism for developing at a late date.
- They criticize and even ridicule the doctrine of the Trinity as being
hopelessly contradictory, unreasonable, and confusing.
- They allege that trinitarianism denies that God is one.
- They misrepresent the doctrine of the Trinity in order to make it seem
absurd or obviously unbiblical.
- They assume that submission or subjection by the Son to the Father implies
that the Son is inferior to the Father.
- They derive their beliefs from extrabiblical revelations of one kind or
another.
- They compromise the biblical doctrine of salvation by grace alone through
faith alone.
- They cannot consistently affirm the full deity of Christ.
- Their teaching at least implies that trinitarians are not true Christians
and are not saved.
