Whereas, the orthodox/biblical view is that the Father, Son, and Spirit are 3 distinct Persons, who "coexist" simultaneously and are one with each other. So, the one God exists in three Persons.
So....for those in the LC that continue to use the phrase "Processed Triune God"....how is that not modalism?
Please help me understand this concept of "Processed Triune God" in layman's terms (please do not regurgitate WL writings).

Before you eat a water melon, you need to cut it open, then you need to cut it into bite size pieces.
Well God is the water melon, and the process of incarceration, death, and resurrection are the cutting of the watermelon.
You see, the Recovery thinks that the Tree Of life contained God & humans failed in eating it. So through the “process” above, God once again made himself available to be “eaten”.
If God didn’t get processed, humans would never be able to partake of God.
