I started a previous thread, at the request of another member, to discuss the 'trinity'. In that thread I challenged anyone, to produce even ONE example of ANY teacher in the Bible explaining the trinity to an audience.
No surprise.
Not one text.
In stead, MOST of the replies were of this nature;
I will admit, there are MUCH better texts that 'trinitarian' supporters can produce, but NOT ONE meets Paul's criteria in 2 Cor 11:3-4 ... the "Jesus" we accept MUST be the "Jesus" actually PREACHED by the apostles.

Without debating the obvious weaknesses of this statement, I offer this as an example of the dubious, peripheral tangents resorted to, in the attempt to show SOME Scripture that MIGHT offer "support" for trinitarian theory.John 17:11
I am no longer in the world; and yet they themselves are in the world, and I come to You. Holy Father, keep them in Your name, the name which You have given me, that they may be one even as we are.
The Father and the Son have the same name.
Jesus surrendered His royal name to take on the human form, then He received it back again
