In regards to me, I do not see too much doctrinal difference between Judy and me. Our difference is primarily one of emphasis. Our biggest difference concerns the humanity of Jesus, but this again probably has more to do with emphasis. There are some passages of Scripture that from my perspective are ignored by her in regards to this, namely, Phil. 2, Heb. 2, Heb. 5. She probably thinks that I ignore the idea of Jesus being the "second Adam." I should probably point out, however, that you operate from a perspective where it is very important to have right theological words for defining the person of Jesus. For me, this is not as important. I think recognizing his Divinity is important, but whether a person believes in 3 persons or 1 person is not as critical. Even though I am a Trinitarian myself, I do not consider sabellianism to be heresy. I realize that this departs from the early church fathers and historical Christianity. Nevertheless, I have good Christian fellowship with a number of people who are not Trinitarians. You probably would have a great deal of difficulty with me even saying this. Nevertheless, from my perspective, much of this has to do with a different emphasis upon a Christology which is termed by Scripture, the mystery of godliness. If it is a mystery, then there needs to be latitude for talking about different aspects about it, without fear of being labeled a heretic and removed from fellowship. Peace be with you.
