Chris: ... I believe
that the underlying question is the starting point: Are both positions
acceptable to God? What is heresy to us and, to God?
In accordance with the example of The Saviour ... I'll await your own
answer to your own disingenuine, dishonest, diversionary questions before
giving answer.

Being, Three Persons (Trinity) is a doctrine. I believe that this is Who God
in fact Is.

Lance: Well, when you put it that way
-- orthodox Trinitarian is an oxymoron -- then you have placed down a
disingenuine starting point. However, " three-headed siamese triplet
freak" may be looked upon in a similar fashion (tee-hee). I know that
a genuine conversation is possible between a 'oneness' adherent and a
'trinitarian' because I have been engaged in them
many times.

\o/ Greetings Perry in the Matchless Name of
YahShua!
The
only life that was in YahShua was
The Father (Isaiah 9:6/John 14:7-10 just for starters), although the
Father was not limited to that bodily form any more than He was/is
limited to heaven, nor was YahShua limited as to
physical location only on this earth or at one time (John
3:13; Matthew 18:20; John 17:11). Father and Son are a matter of
relationship and not of entities. Father, Son and Holy Spirit are
modes of existence rather than mutually exclusive entities. The
Almighty is ONE entity and not some three-headed siamese triplet
freak.
The impressed with themselves/words
folks refer to this as "Modalistic Monarchianism". Simpler folks
simply call it Oneness. I call it Scriptural.
Ahava b' YahShua
