Consequently, arguing over commas is folly.

Go read the verses. With commas and without. With grammar and without. With chapters and verses and without.

But just wait a minute ... you don't believe any of the scripture because we don't have the originals.

So you tell me what is folly.

Thanks. I didn't know I don't believe any of the scriptures. I'll take a closer look.

That's what you have been telling us for years. But glad to hear you will take a closer look!

If I find the autograph copies, I'll be sure to let you know.

The rest of the world will be interested too.

This is modalism in action! The commas are not, then are, then move- why it’s nothing less than a triune manuscript! You have a source, a creation, and an acting force- you might even call it a processed, triune manuscript.

Makes no sense. Care to add some intelligence and rewrite this?

I get it. We can play loosey-goosey with the commas, to make it say what we want. Modalism, and Processed T God, is the same slippery kind of thing.

I like 'em all. Even the trinity. But I've been known to entertain plenty of non-scriptural things.

Denying the deity of our Savior over a comma. Who would actually do that for a living?

That's a sweet sentiment. But like I said a day or so ago : I can't handle one Yahweh, much less two. And then there's a third Yahweh in the Revelation, that's a Jesus turned pourer outer of bowls of wrath.

I think I'll stick with just one Yahweh, thank you. In that case modalism looks good. At least there's only one at a time.

Lee wasn't a modalist. Not unless it's just the Jesus is the Father, Spirit, and Jesus mode.
