"Processed Triune God"

bettercountry · 03-14-2023, 08:41 AM

I know there have been numerous discussions over the past several decades concerning WL's interpretation of the Trinity versus orthodox views. But no matter how the local church spins it, WL's teaching of the Godhead seems to teeter dangerously close to "modalism". Modalism, of course, is the unbiblical view that God the Father, God the Son, and God the Spirit are essentially 3 stages (or modes) of God. 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).
