Bro, I haven't seen you steer clear yet! And why would anyone want to? What could be more significant than going back and forth about the nature of God? Please don't tell me that you still subscribe to the ole "doctrines don't matter, we only care for life!" garbage taught in the Local Church. The little sect of the Local Church of Witness Lee is one of the most doctrine soaked religions on earth. They've got a doctrine for just about everything. The problem is that most of the doctrines have nothing to do with what is taught in the Bible.

I don't think I've ever participated in a satisfactory and profitable conversation about that!
Sorry to hear that. Maybe you can just watch from the seats on this one, would that work better for you?

One can present a plethora of verses supporting the three aspect of the Almighty, while a multitude of scripture same can also be stated for the one aspect. Where does that leave us? Not much from my standpoint! If I could evoke our moderator's (UntoHim) wisdom from another thread and apply it here, what does knowing this do for us practically?
Where does that leave us? Well, hopefully it leaves us with a plethora of verses and a multitude of Scripture...sounds pretty good to me! I don't think the term "aspects" is theologically accurate...but I'll give that some thought and get back to you on that.

What does knowing what do for us practically? Do you mean knowing about God? Knowing about his nature, character, wisdom, righteousness, sovereignty and love? I couldn't think of any better practical knowledge to have!
