Re: Lee's Trinity

Now I admit that using the same term for the One and the Three is problematic (at least to us finite beings). But that does not mean that I, you, Sproul, or Lee has the wherewithal to say where the "being" is and where it is not.
I know that you don't like that creed. But it made more sense of the Trinity than the arguments over where "being" should be attributed. They are Three, not to be morphed into one. And they are One, not to be separated into Three. Both are true. Is there anywhere that the term "being" or "entity" should exclusively apply? We really don't know. But people like Lee demand that they have the answer and it is mostly opposite of what everyone else says.

OBW,
Tritheism is the belief that cosmic divinity is composed of three powerful entities.
