I made this video years ago. It's still true today.
The "Trinities" that people use to smite the orthodox Christian doctrine of the Trinity as "pagan" are no where near close in substance to the orthodox doctrine of the Trinity. Many of them are Three-god trios which the Trinity is not, since it is monotheistic. Or they present Modalism which simply refutes the "Jesus-onlyist" heresy of the modern day Sabellians and demonstrates "Oneness" believers as irredeemably pagan. Some of them present only binities. None of them come close to touching the monotheistic doctrine of the Trinity. That's telling. Not a single one of these straw-man arguments actually looks at what the Christian doctrine is. Many even say the creeds of the Church aren't Biblical so they don't bother reading them. Whether or not their "Biblical" is irrelevant when it comes to representing the doctrine you disagree with. These creeds are what explain to Christians what the doctrine of the Trinity is. And Christians are people who believe that God is a Trinity.
