Modalism

This also has been discussed at length on our forum, but I am willing to give at lease a cursory review of this if you want.

It has long been my contention that the Bible has "confounded the persons" of the Godhead. The early church attempted to "straighten out" these "inconsistencies" in the Word of God by introducing new phrases like "3 Persons, but one God."

Many Bible "scholars" over the centuries went along with this new terminology in order to deal with heresies like Arius, the unitarian who fathered the JW/Boxjobox movements. Athanasius, the great Arius-slayer, gave us another, perhaps worse, heresy that "man becomes god," fathering other cults like the Mormons.

I guess we are free to pick our poison. I think it's best to stick to the Bible, "inconsistencies" included.
