For heaven's sake, no one is talking past each other. Next time I'll put "As an aside" at the beginning of a post about the topic at hand so no one thinks I'm intentionally trying to avoid something I'm not.

WL is a part of this discussion. So are verses. I just had a contribution on the WL side of it. Sheesh.

Regarding HBJ's original post in which he/she commented that God exists in three co-equal persons, and asked for thoughts about it.....I may get branded as a heretic here, but what comes to my mind are all the verses where Jesus states He doesn't do His own will, but that of the Father. He didn't send Himself, but the Father sent him. Jesus is always talking about the one true God. Etc. This, to me, shows more of a subordinate relationship. Still fully God, but we never see an instance where the Father submits to the Son. I hesitate slightly when saying they are co-equal. Jesus is fully God, but the Son always seems to be submissive to the Father.
