Trinitarians are not one group.
Is this true? Are there different groups of trinitarians that all have different trinity doctrines?

Only if there is any real trinitarian other than the forumer who insist in the ortodox view (the simplistic version of it) ... or the atheists who do not know anything about the matter we are talking about here.

It looks like there is not any other self-called Christian in this forum to say what does his/her own version say about these points:

1) Jehovah is Jesus or not
2) Are the Father and Son co-equal in knowledge and power
3) there is subordination in their relationship or both have the same authority
4) Was Jesus God even when human or not
5) Was prehuman Jesus an independent person or just an impersonal part of God
6) Was Jesus the angel of Jehovah in OT or not
7) is the Son as person an eternal-in-past being, or was he begotten any time in the past

Actually, I am wondering if there is any religious person at all in this forum, besides the JWs, the anti-JWs and the anti-religious ones.

The mistake was an apparently overbroad rhetorical question about the understandability of God. Instead of copping to it, you tried to claim that your statement was limited in ways not immediately apparent.
Are we ever going to get back on topic?

The topic has been covered. The question was, “Are there different groups of trinitarians that all have different trinity doctrines?” The answer is a resounding, “No.” Virtually every group, both Christian and non-Christian, agrees on what the doctrine of the Trinity is. Nothing has been brought forward to suggest otherwise.

Questions about the Trinity have been asked. If they are important questions, then feel free to start a new debate thread or a thread in “questions about a belief.” However, this topic has been covered. Unless you have something new to add, some evidence to suggest that a significant group of Christians believe in the Trinity in a way that is different from how it has been described here, then we can safely say that the question for debate has been given a clear-cut answer.
