It made perfect sense to the bigwigs who were calling the shots at the Council of Nicea.

Yeah,
My question is : if the Trinity were so blatantly and clearly obvious(as the adherents tenaciously claim), why was the third element (holy spirit) added in later(decades) after this 'Nicean big wig meet'.
Point by point it doesn't add:
You can look at ancient religions(pre- christian) and see this concept (triads) embedded within.
The grammar doesn't add either, as adherents claim John 1:1 is a proof text via syntax/grammar.
I've seen it all, and at the end of day it boils down to an infusion of religion and philosophy to amalgamate an empire.

Fascinating that the human mind
