| Apr 9, 2018 at 19:17 | comment | added | Lee Woofenden | For those who wish to see it, my answer to this question has now been posted as a self-answered question here. I continue to think it is just as valid an answer to the actual question asked as all the others, and that it should not have been deleted. | |
| Nov 22, 2016 at 0:44 | comment | added | Lee Woofenden | @curiousdannii Yes, there are. I provided an answer that was a Christian viewpoint that holds that the Trinity as defined in mainstream Christianity means three gods. That answer was deleted, even though it actually was responsive to the question as asked, whereas answers that were given from a traditional Trinitarian perspective were not deleted, even though they are no more responsive to the actual question asked than my question was. Really, either all answers should be deleted or mine should be restored. | |

| Nov 26, 2015 at 13:32 | comment | added | David Stratton | Closing as too broad, as there are multiple views on the nature of the Trinity within Christianity. See Is it valid to ask if “Christianity” teaches anything? | |

| Jul 28, 2015 at 18:00 | comment | added | Lee Woofenden | @Mr.Bultitude I understand that that's your interpretation of the question. And it's a reasonable interpretation to try to make the question fit into current Christianity.SE guidelines. But the fact is that the question itself does not say that it's asking for the definition of the Trinity, nor does it specify that it is asking the question of those who believe in trinitarianism. It asks a general question about whether the Trinity is three Gods or one. Under the current site rules, such a question can be answered from the perspective of any Christian group or denomination. | |
| Jul 28, 2015 at 17:26 | comment | added | Mr. Bultitude | @LeeWoofenden It's asking about the definition of the trinity. Those who believe a doctrine are the ones who define it. | |
| Jul 28, 2015 at 17:19 | comment | added | Lee Woofenden | @fredsbend I'll do one better. I've asked a new question, and re-posted my answer there: Why do some Christian groups view the most common concept of God in Christianity (the Trinity) as a belief three gods rather than in one God? To see the answer as originally posted here, look at the original version in the edit history. | |
| Jul 28, 2015 at 17:17 | comment | added | Lee Woofenden | @Mr.Bultitude But the question is not asking, "What do trinitarians believe?" It's asking, "Is the Trinity one God or three Gods?" That's a truth question, which means it is primarily opinion-based. It could be edited to be a non-truth-based and non-opinion-based question. But as the question stands now, it is primarily opinion-based. | |
| Jul 28, 2015 at 17:06 | comment | added | Mr. Bultitude | @LeeWoofenden I don't agree. If a question asks, "What does X doctrine mean?" it's pretty clearly asking for the perspective of those who believe X doctrine. In this case, X is the trinity. "Do trinitarians believe that they believe in three gods or one?" is the actual question, but wording it that way would be unnecessarily cumbersome. I don't see a real problem with this question. | |
| Jul 28, 2015 at 14:57 | comment | added | user3961 | @LeeWoofenden The Trinity is three in one. That's the traditional usage of the word. Post your answer in chat so I can see it. Or maybe in meta. | |

| Jul 28, 2015 at 13:31 | comment | added | Lee Woofenden | This question should be closed as primarily opinion-based. It does not specify any denomination or tradition. This means that answers from any Christian perspective should be allowable. However, my answer from a non-Trinitarian perspective was deleted as "not an answer." This demonstrates that the question is being judged from a "truth" perspective rather than from a "what do Christians believe" perspective. In other words, as asked, the question and its handling is primarily opinion-based. | |
