What happened to Jerusalem in 70 AD was the enacted judgment of God upon a people who had persistently broken faith with their Lord. Listen to the episode on "The Jewish War" to learn more about it ๐

Judged by their stated goal (convincing the empire to leave the Church alone), the second-century apologists failed.
But judge them by a different standard, and the picture looks entirely different.
They forced the Church to think.
Asking, โWhy do I need to know about the Trinity?โ as a Christian is like asking โWhy do I need to know the periodic table?โ as a chemist.
Without the periodic table, you canโt do chemistry.
Without the Trinity, there is no Christianity.
