My brother Ohio, I have seen you use the term "Triune God" many times. Sometimes I've even seen you referring to the "Trinity". I'm curious as to what you believe about the "Tri" in Triune God. I'm pretty we know what you think about the "une"!
So you do believe God is one. ONE WHAT?
Apparently you also believe God is three. THREE WHAT?
These are important questions, and bear heavily on this matter of modalism. I do understand, and even appreciate, your disdain for the traditional, historical teaching/doctrine of the Trinity. I once felt the same exact way.
Take your time. These are important questions. I personally believe that God has given us some clear answers to these questions, and yes, the historic Christian church has also confirmed these answers down through time. That's why the vast majority of the professing Christian Church has been considered to be Trinitarian. Apparently you do not consider yourself as a Trinitarian, or suscribe to the belief that God is one Being in three Persons.
And this is why I am asking you:
God is one. One What?
God is three. Three What?
I guess you could say it's all a big mystery and we really don't know. That would be a fair answer. Fair but totally unsatisfying as far as I'm concerned.
