三位一体论并非圣经中所说,有关此点陈尔晋先生的说法有根据,但从英文中可以查到更详尽的证据,三位一体论是由教会在三世纪至四世纪通过四个决议硬性规定的.但确实与原始基督教的说法不一致.两位都是对圣经有深入研究的民运人士,有关争论应当以说理为重,少些指责多些宽容相互学习为要.这里列举的两位神学家的论述是支持陈尔晋先生的说法的. 此外我同意陈尔晋先生关于中国三自教会及爱国天主教的定性,在中共撑控下的教会不可能是真实的教会,张先生将中共控制下的两个所谓教会作为基督教承认的教会的说法恐怕没有依据.据我查资源显示,国际上从未将共产党国家的所谓教会当作基督教会.而且基督教远远不止张先生提及的八个教派,至少有20个较大的基督教派张先生未提及.
   
   Now it is a remarkable fact that the ideas contained in the Doctrine of the Trinity are not found in the Bible. This is not a new discovery. It has been known for a long time, right back in the 4th century of our era. More recent theologians have said so clearly. For example, the Anglican theologian J. H. Newman, who joined the Church of Rome in 1845, wrote: ". . . the doctrines (that is, concerning Father, Son and Holy Spirit) have never been learned merely from Scripture" (The Arians of the 4th Century, p.50). Dr. W. R. Matthews, for many years Dean of St. Paul's, London, was more emphatic: ". . . the doctrine of the Trinity . . . formed no part of the original message. St. Paul knew it not, and would have been unable to understand the meaning of the terms used in the theological formula on which the Church ultimately agreed" (God in Christian Thought and Experience, p.180). (The italics in the above quotations are the present writer's.) Many sincere admirers of Christ may well feel disturbed at this plain assertion that his great Apostle Paul knew nothing of the Doctrine of the Trinity!
