Jesus Christ never said any of that
That claim is heresy and you could be burned at the stake for spreading those lies
Jesus Christ never said anything about the Trinity. It was decided on long after he died.
Technically what you linked is that god the father and son are separate beings, one who followed from the former
It's more a mistake of understanding during the process of codifying orthodoxy than related to what Jesus himself said
Jesus never said anything about trans people either yet Christians sure act he did
Yeah this is more of a Catholic thing rather than all Christians, I believe
No, the Holy Trinity is necessarily part of all forms of Christianity. But Jesus never explicitly spelled it out. It was decided long after he died.
Not all forms, just all nicean forms, which comprises all the denominations most people care about, but what some folks consider offshoot christian religions like Jehovah's Witnesses and Mormons don't ascribe to it for various reasons.
My understanding is that it isn't considered Christian if it doesn't accept the Trinity. JW and LDS are considered Abrahamic but not Christian per se.
That's a definition understood by nicean christians as the nicean creed was basically developed in a trial to say who is and isn't christian and exile the not christians who wouldn't cooperate
Academically I don't think there is universal agreement on if that standard should be taken at face value.
Considered...by whom? Not by them, I bet. I'll bet JW and LDS do consider themselves Christian.
The only 'prerequisites' for being considered Christian is that you believe in Jesus's existence, and his divinity. Hence the "Christ" in "Christian".
No, the Trinity is a part of a large number of Christian denominations.
