But if you read it through the filter of the traditions of a Trinity, you will miss it (like many miss Jesus telling Mary about Mary’s G-d being Jesus’s G-d). That is incoherent.

But it was not until the efforts to create a uniform Christianity at Nicaea that the concept became the accepted tradition, to create a universal (catholic) interpretation of the writings.

Nuda scriptura is scripture alone. Sola scriptura looks at the writings and the traditions, with the writings (source of the traditions) having greater relevance.

In the New Testament, Christ quotes the Ethiopian book of Enoch. How do the Sola Scriptura folks square this circle?

So, how does that affect the Athanasian Christian doctrine of the Trinity?
