Nobody wants to go searching for a bunch of references. If you are so confident in your position, why not just make your case using scripture?

The focus of the article is really on the history behind the development of the trinity doctrine, not on biblical proofs that prove or disprove its validity.

Furthermore, those references are not really references but "blurbs" extracted out of context and in most cases are fragments of sentences

These do not qualify as a scholarly reference

Doug, the booklets you link to also gives only half-truths like "the Trinity was not closed until the Nicene Council"

Because the concept of the Holy Spirit not being part of the godhead fails when put to the test of scripture or history. Either way it fails.

For the simple reason that Scripture never says we can ONLY use scripture.
