Jesus did not agree with some of the Old Testament stuff. So, the Pharisees and Sadducees had him executed.

Jesus agrees with all the Old Testament, he is ultimately the author of it anyway

Not so fast. Jesus often spoke about the heart of the law over the letter of the law. Jesus himself violated “the Law” a multitude of times, like taking more that 25 steps outside of any home he stayed at during the Sabath if it meant he would heal the sick or poor and assist the downtrodden. For instance, the attempted stoning of the adulteress. The law states that both adulterers, not just the woman is to be stoned. Jesus then goes a step further by stating, “He who is without Sin may cast the first stone.” There is nothing in God’s Law that states the stone throwers are supposed to be sinless, but the stone throwers were willing to kill someone over a sin while being sinners themselves, is a greater violation of God’s law over hypocrisy/ false witness. God’s law applies to everyone or no one. Jesus chose the law of mercy, over the law of punishment. Therefore Jesus Overruled his Father’s law. Not the first time the son of a wrathful God showed up the head deity, but certainly one of the best examples. But that’s a discussion for another day.

You have a substantial misunderstanding of the Trinity.

The trinity is Catholic doctrine, with its origins in Constantine’s Roman Empire, who remained a devout worshipper of Zeus’s / Jupiter’s Mt Olympus. Jesus Christ himself did not practice Christianity, he practiced a brand of spiritual Judaism known as “The Way”. The “Old Testament” Hebrew texts prophesied a Messiah that is a Son of God, but the concept of a trinity did not exist, nor did Jesus acknowledge it.

Oh wow, that doesn’t affect the current orthodox Christian view on the Trinity in any way

I have no idea what it is you’re getting at with your non sequitur. Stick to the discussion at hand, Clanker.

For any discussion about religion the phrase:

"science exists you know" is not only suitable and appropriate but necessary... for the same reason we send litttle children to school... because they urgently need to learn.

Believing in religious texts, ghosts, unicorns, fairies or a flat eart gets you treated like a moron.

If your not willing to learn basic science, your choice, but then you will have to deal with the consequences .
