one in three, three in one, one essence or substance or three persons, is Biblical language. The language of the [Trinity] doctrine is the language of the ancient [Catholic Gnostic] Church, taken not from the Bible but from classical [Pagan] Greek philosophy.”
Michael Servetus (1511-1553) who wrote De Trinitas Eroribus a physician and theologian made this statement before he was murdered for not believing in the Catholic Trinity: “They [the theologians and Philosophers] have contrived an imaginary Trinity, three beings in one Nature. But in reality three beings, three Gods...”
Dr. William Robinson Evangelical Quarterly, 1933: “The Apologists of the second century were more familiar with [Pagan Gnostic Greek] Platonic cosmology than they were with biblical soteriology, [In more simple terms they were more into Pagan Greek philosophy than Bible teachings.] and hence stretched the Christian doctrine to fit a philosophical procrustean mold.
