Anyhow, let's stick to what is important, like who is God. Is the correct understanding of God based on unitarianism, binitarianism, or trinitarianism? If we get that wrong, the rest don't matter.

It has been addressed by the council surrounding the nature of Christ and to achieve doctrinal unity within the Christian community...the disputes have been resolved...believers and historians interpret the council's outcomes as guided by divine providence or influenced by God's will

So who it was who decided that the correct understanding of God is based on trinitarianism? Definitely not Jesus. Definitely not the disciples too coz they weren't around anymore 300 years later.

And were the disciples of Jesus wrong for believing God is one as taught by Jesus?

Some bomoh are medicine men.

So, when you say bomoh, you need to know what kind of bomoh. The Malays use that word for all sorts of practice.
A "bomoh" is a Malay term for a shaman and traditional medicine practitioner, often mistranslated as "medicine man" or "witch doctor".They are healers, herbalists, geomancers, and sorcerers, who also act as intermediaries between the human world and spirits or gods.

Who decides? The 200 bishops!
The disciples believe Jesus is divine ..The disciples attributed titles of deity to Jesus...Stephen prayed to Him ..Thomas calls Him" My lord, my God"
Peter's declaration of Jesus as the "Christ, the Son of the living God...so many more

Peter told his congregation that Jesus was a man and that statement is recorded in the Bible. So, at Peter's time, Jesus wasn't God yet.

Then it went on to binitarianism and then eventually, trinitarianism.

If the Trinity is true, how come it wasn't immediately known to people like Peter?

I am not interested in bomoh, or exorcism, performed by your priests. It is not critical to our salvation.

Jesus is a man isnt it..Jesus's twelve disciples did not believe he was God initially but rather a prophet or the Messiah, the Son of God. Their understanding of Jesus evolved through his miracles, teachings, and actions, and ultimately solidified after his resurrection.....just like you may think that I am uncouth or rude from the beginning but over a period of time..you will know that I am a polite gentleman Big Grin

So, that means Jesus didn't tell the disciples that he is God, if he is God.

Bomoh is not my religion. I don't believe bomoh. So it's pointless to discuss something I don't believe and I don't know.

Why would I joke? Even if you enter hell..Allah will replace you with a Christian or a jew from hell fire..

Jesus made some claims that He Himself is God but surely no one would take his words seriously initially

How many bishops didn't agree with the Trinity idea? Why did they disagree?

And what happened to them?

So Jesus didn't clearly tell them that he is God. And then, many people also took from Peter that Jesus was a man so they will not get salvation because Jesus failed to convince his disciples that he is God. On top of that, Peter went all over preaching Jesus was a man to untold many. 

Is that your faith? Perhaps you should just say you don't know coz the more you try to answer my questions, the more you're making a fool out of yourself.

Pink already said the disciples didn't know at first or even after Jesus has ascended because Peter told the congregation at the Pentecost that Jesus was a man.

So you disagree with Pink? Do you think Pink was wrong?

Peter and other disciples acknowledged Jesus as a human being, capable of experiencing emotions, hunger, and fatigue, alongside his divine nature

When peter speaks to the congregation..he would have known Jesus's divinity...you are assuming that the disciples only know Jesus divinity towards the end...when they made statements about Jesus's divinity..they already fully knew Jesus was fully man fully God...that's common sense
