Davel - You can't even get the questions right, much less answer them. I don't give a flip what DavidM says about the Trinity.
DAVEH: Really?!?!?!?! I do. I'm trying to figure out what you guys (Protestants) believe. Are you suggesting that DavidM's perspective does not reflect Protestant theology, and your belief does?
If so, that is OK. I am just trying to reconcile the difference (as I perceive it) between GODHEAD and TRINITY. Below I explained how I see they are different, yet you did not respond to the points I made.

For the record I have defined Trinity over and over. Trintiy and Godhead are the same.
DAVEH: As DavidM pointed out, there is a distinct difference between the two in the area of 'substance'. The T doctrine claims God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Ghost are all the same substance. The Godhead as I understand it does not make that distinction. Quite the opposite.....Jesus' body is clothed with a body of flesh and bone whereas the Holy Ghost is a spirit only.
For the record I ask for a yes or no.
DAVEH: Unless you can show evidence otherwise, the answer is no. I do not accept the Trinity as the same as Godhead.
THIS WAS NOT MY QUESTION.
DAVEH: Perhaps not, but it is "MY QUESTION". Obviously TRINITY and GODHEAD are different, unless I am missing something. Is there anything in the Bible that says Jesus and the Holy Ghost are of the same substance? If not, where did the SUBSTANCE thing come from? I understood it was something introduced long after the Bible was written, for political purposes. I think DavidM suggested something similar. Perhaps he'd like to correct me if I misunderstood.
Anyway Glenn, at this point I don't know what your definition of Trinity is. I ask again.....please define it. Or simply repost your previous explanation. I really don't recall what you said.
For the record I did not get it on Trinity after I defined it.
DAVEH: I do not recall you defining "Trinity". Would you please post your definition again. Thanx in advance.
