The good stuff really starts at about the 3:00 minute mark.

I watched several minutes of this video, while reading some of the comments below it. It seemed that not one of them was favorable to RZ's lecture.

Sounded like intellectual spiritual razzmatazz to me. In the end he can't explain the mystery of the trinity any more than anyone else.

But I got a kick out of his explanation of love. That, basically, before the creation, the trinity were lovers of each other. Not sure I'm buying it, but it's great to picture it in my head.

Over all, thanks Untohim for the homework.

Interesting. Sounds like you spent more energy looking at the comments then actually listening to the short statement itself. Of course none of the comments were favorable, they were coming from people who don't believe in the Trinity in the first place - Unitarians and non-Christians mostly. Anyway, when you get a chance maybe you could actually listen to that last 5 minutes, and then make a comment yourself.

Look, I didn't say that this video was easy listening. I'm only trying to get us all to maybe slightly agree upon some very basic "framework" (for lack of better word) about the theology of the Trinity. Again, I would ask you to listen to the last 5 minutes and try to catch some of the basic premises put forth by Zacharias.

If you'd rather not, no biggie.
