Like the Armenians and Calvinists, they hold to just their set of scriptures that seems to neatly reinforce their side of the picture. I always like to say when someone asks, "Is this side right or that side right?" "They both are." Can I tie a neat little bow around it and say, "I've got it all figured out!"? Nope, can't do that with my limited, human mentality.

It's kinda like John Locke is quoted as saying: "I cannot fathom the mystery of a single flower; Neither was it intended that I should!"

A mystery- ok, but that’s all the reason more to take what is clearly taught in the NT by the Holy Spirit. Which is one God the Father, one Lord Jesus Christ. If we stick to this as Paul beseeches the Ephesians to do, we are blessed. Moving away from this to a man made concept only brings division and confusion

Since the Spirit, the apostles and Jesus teach this, we should not deviate.
