UntoHim doesn't think he's playing games. And I get his protest - arguably, he's not. But my point is that anyone who goes onto their (LSM, DCP) ground and tries to debate "trinity" versus "four-in-one God" is playing their game on their rules. And that is a game, a vain exercise.
Who on this forum has gone to an LSM Bible study or Facebook page or chat forum and corrected them, or even made any headway at all, gotten any acknowledgement that the "four-in-one God" idea may possibly need, um, some adjustment? If anyone has, I stand down. Otherwise I rest my case.
Now, on this forum it's different. But on this forum who's defending the "four-in-one God"? If none, then pursuing the matter will soon become an exercise in posturing.
Has anyone gone to Kerry Robichaux' Bible study, or with anyone promoting his writing, and gotten admission that there's any meaningful content in John 1:51 past a "ladder", "an uplifted standing staircase", or an "incorporated Triune God"? If so, I stand down. Otherwise I rest my case.
I'm not saying anyone on this forum is playing games. I'm saying that if you engage them with parsing's of words, that's what they do for a living. You're in their turf, on their terms. I don't see that as anything but an exercise in fruitlessness. But I may be wrong. I'm just a person with an opinion. Others may think differently and that's okay, too. Sorry if my stridency is off-putting... I really use it for my own protection, because I got caught, once. And I don't want to again.
