I agree with this. I still feel that Lee leaned toward the side of "one-ness" just to be different and to counteract the prevailing Christian tendency to lean towards the side of "three-ness." Whichever side you lean towards, there are verses which will blast you out of the water.

I believe that the creating God never intended for man to really understand Him. Perhaps his earlier creation of the angelic race (think Lucifer, Michael and Gabriel) had a better understanding, but look where that ended up.

The New Covenant, enacted the very night our Savior Jesus was betrayed, and prophesied in Jeremiah just as Judah was about to be carried off into captivity, clearly states that "each can know Me," from the smallest to the greatest.

Is this not the greatest mystery -- that we can all know Him, whether or not we can ever truly understand Him? Like a young child who instinctively knows his own father, and is immediately drawn to the love and safety the father provides, calling him "daddy" and sheltering in his arms, yet it totally unable to truly understand him, such is our relationship with our heavenly Father.
