This setnece would not be too far off, if you did not insist on putting an evil
'spoin' on it below:

And this is a very evil spin indeed. No, this is very wrong. You are lowering
Christ to the level of angels. But angels are created, and Christ, the Word is
co-eternal with the Father (Jn 1:1).

And here your evil spin reveals its true, even more evil colors! The
divinely-revealed dogma of the Trinity is NOT pagan. That is a vile slander
cooked up by fanatical enemies of Christian Truth.
