It seems to me you don't have any problem when Witness Lee attempts to nail down the exact nature of the Triune God...why is that?
My only problem with any questions is when they are designed to sidetrack, slow down or stop the discussions. Over the years, I've seen posters try this, and I have called them on it every time that I see it. You may not even realize this is what you are doing, but I'm flat out telling you that is what is happening with your "what's the practical purpose of knowing" mantra. When I asked this on the other thread it was for the purpose of clarifying, and maybe slightly redirecting the discussion, and not for sidetracking, slowing down or stopping the dialog.
Yes, humor does have it's place here on the forum, but not as a tool to mock or to belittle. I'm not going to elaborate on this. We're all reasonable adults. Anyone is free to PM me for further comment or concerns.

This is an unfair response to
Sons to Glory! He has said nothing to mock or belittle you or others. Had his point of view been supportive of yours, you would
not have critiqued his attempts at brevity. He was
not sidetracking or stopping the discussion.
How can you welcome ex-members to this forum if you regularly reject their views which, from a distance, appear to you similar to WL. Would you please zoom in a little closer to discern when these views align with the scripture or not? Why are you so intolerant of diverse views drawn from the Bible? At least acknowledge others' views have scriptural support.
It is you who are now shutting down discussion, like you did before. When I informed you on the "Calling on the Lord" thread that I preferred to let my points stand and leave the discussion, you couldn't control yourself. You had to take a few closing shots at me, none of which was based on love or scripture. Now on this thread, you have repeated this pattern, projecting to others like
StG what you are doing.
