I hope we all recognize that Judy is adopting the modalistic interpretation here. What is wrong with that? Why must we avoid being modalistic? Is sabellianism heresy? If so, why? For the Trinitarians among us, which is less accurate? The Trinity leaning toward sabellianism or the Trinity leaning toward the henotheism of Mormonism? Peace be with you.
