“The doctrine of the Trinity, then, and that of the union of two natures in Christ, are doctrines, which, when fairly understood, it is impossible, from the nature of the human mind, should be believed. They involve manifest contradictions, and no man can believe what he perceives to be a contradiction. In what has been already said, I have not been bringing arguments to disprove these doctrines; I have merely been showing that they are intrinsically incapable of any proof whatever; for a contradiction cannot be proved;—that they are of such a character, that it is impossible to bring arguments in their support, and unnecessary to adduce arguments against them.”——Norton's Statement of Reasons, p. 17–19, 22.

"Whatever involves a complete contradiction cannot be correct, and every one is justified in unsparingly describing the contradiction as such. This the Arians sufficiently did, and in so far as they assumed that a contradiction cannot be seriously accepted by any one, and that therefore the view of Athanasius must at bottom be Sabellian, they were right. Two generations and more had to pass before the Church cquld accustom itself to recognize in the complete contradiction the sacred privilege of revelation." Harnack, as quoted in The Development of Trinitarian Doctrine in the Nicene and Athanasian Creeds By William Samuel Bishop

"It is not only admitted by learned Trinitarians that there is no mention of a Triune Deity in the Bible, and no suggestion of that doctrine in the phenomena of nature, but, in addition, it is stated that this view of the Godhead is hostile to reason. Cardinal Wiseman asks, 'Who will pretend to say that he can, by any stretch of his imagination, or of his reason, see it possible how three persons in one God can be but one Godhead" Dr. Hey, a Cambridge Divinity Professor, also confirms this statement in the following passage:—'When it is proposed to me to affirm, that in the unity of the Godhead there be three persons, .... I profess and proclaim my confusion in the most unequivocal manner'. Dr. South has pronounced the result which this doctrine involves, "so very strange and unaccountable, that were it not adored as a mystery it would be exploded as a contradiction ". 'That three Beings should be one Being,' says Soame Jenyns, 'is a proposition which certainly contradicts reason—that is, our reason.' The language of Bishop Beveridge sets the matter in the clearest light, as an inconceivable mystery: 'That God the Father should be one perfect God of himself, God the Son one perfect God of himself, and God the Holy Ghost one perfect God of himself; and yet that these three should be one perfect God of h1mself, so that one should be perfectly three and three perfectly one; that the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost should be three and yet be one, but one and yet three! O heart-amazing, thought-devouring, unconceivable mystery!'"  History of the origin of the doctrine of the Trinity By Hugh Hutton Stannus
