Another would be that the Father so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, and if we believe on him our sins our forgiven. Another would be that Jesus Christ was crucified and raised bodily on the third day, ascended to heaven and is now at the right hand of the Father. There are a number of other nonnegotiables as far as I'm concerned, but I won't take the time to reiterate them here.
My personal believe is the orthodox view/teaching/understanding of the Trinity, that God is one in Being and three in Person, has been a core element of the Christian faith since the beginning and is a nonnegotiable. However, since the very topic at hand is addressing Lee's non orthodox teachings, it seems reasonable for the various forum members to give their current views/understandings of the nature of the Trinity/Godhead. (Assuming that you even believe there is such a thing)

This seems like a mixed message . . . sorry but I'm struggling with what's permissible and what is not. That is, the first paragraph seems to say one thing - a narrow defining, but then gets at least a little reversed and broadened in the second paragraph.
And I'm sure you know better than I do regarding Boxjobox not believing in the deity of Christ. You are right - that is a basic non-negotiable. The understanding of the Trinity - not so much IMHO . . .
