Absolutely!!

(What did he just say??) I said that every statement is absolutely part of our understanding. To our mortal minds, they may contradict at some level. But they are all important.

What I did not clearly say is that since God went to the trouble of speaking in terms of the three personas/persons/essences/(whatevers), when someone comes along and essentially blurs it all together and says "the Father is the Son and the Son is the Spirit" the importance of what God is or was saying in terms of the "separateness" is obliterated.

Is that heresy? Probably not. It surely is not modalism. But I believe it is a flaw in teaching that actually limits rather than enhances our understanding of God.
