I am certainly not a learned greek scholar. I was just looking at some of the posts using the greek language to underpin promotion of the trinity. I know that to know the greek context about things is important but why get into it at this stage? John says clearly that “o man has at any time seen God” I find this point alone fairly irefutable wether you know greek like the back of your hand or not.
Just a point for whatever it is worth.

Nick, I think you may have lost Elli because if the “firing statements” way that your last post is written. It is hard to respond to something that doesnt really have a question but has many statements.

July 28, 2006 at 12:03 pm#22982ScottParticipantHey everyone,
I posted here before not that long ago, just about the need for a large degree of grace on both “sides” of this dicussion. Unfortunately I have just been essentially “ousted” from sharing our lives with a group of believers because I cannot come to see the truth of the trinity in the scriptures. I wish this was not the case because the fruit in their lives was such that I am sure Jesus is not ashmed to call them brothers.
Despite this rejection I feel no anger toward them. Only a sence of loss and sorrow that this doctrine bears the same fruits as it has always done. Unless one is willing to look at the truth of the scriptures and not feel the need to defend an entrenched position, then these words just keep going around and around.
I know for myself that at this point in time I have been forced to defend a position I am confident that my Father is happy with, and in a sence have to “suffer myself to be defrauded” Please brothers pray for me that I would operate only out of Gods own Holy spirit and that with my lips (or heart) I would not sin.
A solemn brother.
Scott
July 27, 2006 at 5:28 am#22895ScottParticipantHi there,
I am new to this site, but unfortunately not new to these concerns on the trinity. It seems to me through my little experience that the same spirit still persists today as it did some 1800 years ago. I havnt got much more to add to that comment at this stage accept in my experience a large ammount of grace must eminate from both sides of the equasion before proper fruit is produced.
Love and peace be upon you in our Lord Jesus christ.
