Don,

Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD: Deu: 6:4 I know that you are very familiar with quoting this passage but have you ever really studied it? I would suggest to you that the word "one" does not limit God to being just God the Father as Jehovah Witnesses . In Genesis 2:24 We read: Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother and shall cleave unto his wife and they shall be "one" flesh. Gen 3:22 And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as "one" of us... Same word.. same root definition used in all three cases but we know for sure that a couple doesn't actually become one being, so why use the word so stringently when it comes to the nature or oneness of God?

As to the different councils, debates and arguments over the trinity I can just say I've read the bible through and through for myself and don't need any of their backing to support my beliefs. The Holy Spirit who convinced me that I'm a sinner and in need of a saviour also convinces me that there is God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit...three distinct persons yet one God. I don't understand it all but I do accept it by faith and I suspect that God wants us to live by faith or it never would have been written that the just shall live by faith..or that..without faith it is impossible to please God.

Chris
