Well that's good news at least, but look at your exidence and try to listen to it:
Paul Younan wrote:
The CoE does not speak of the "Trinity" is terms of "person", [b]we never apply the term "person" to God.[/b]
Why is this? Please elaborate. And while you might use different terminology, you do believe that God is Triune?
[b]
It's essentially a cultural and linguistic issue. In the Semitic milieu (which includes Judaism, Messianity and Islam) God is not regarded as a "person" in the sense that human beings are "persons[/b]."
Do you understand yet that this is not your Western view? This is not equivalent to trinity,
When Paul talks about triunity it is in a limited sense that the divine aspects are in unity with their Master and this is what I have said also.
You show me one verse with trinity in it and I will change my mind. If you try, watch out for those late additions in 2 John.
I believe in one YHWH....AND LOOK AT THE COE:
As for "Tri-unity", yes in the sense that we believe in 3 Qnume (no English equivalent) in one Keyana ("nature"). The formulation is similar to the Western, except for the usage of the term "person."
See I agree with that. Three aspects in the one Nature. Not separated natures. that makes a huge difference. Did you also notice Paul said "no English equivalent"? That should have been a clue that it is not trinity AT ALL. And the use or disuse of person is for me the entire point that makes these separate theologies.
