Hi True Light,
Thanks for the websites you gave...but i think one other good friend besides True Protestant (very orthodox), Franklie Christopher, Edmund, Evelyne, etc and some anynomous writers (why don't you guys give us a name to help us follow through your train of thots?) who i do not know well, who will keep us all from all sorts of extremisms and doctrinal errors, Interested, is very wise in this aspect.
Curiosity kills both the Cat and the Christian. It is a double edged sword so to speak. It can help us probe into the deeper things of God on one hand, but if in the hands of the unlearned (doesn't mean stupid just haven't learn from those eg the Church Fathers etc...who have gone further before us in the Lord ) it can kill the one who owns it.
So i rather take the things of God, especially when coming to understand His 'makeup' very much more carefully...for who can understand God in all His Infiniteness unless God reveals the mystery about Himself to us. And Scriptures has already given us those aspects about Him that He wants us to know...namely God the Father exist, so do God the Son and God the Holy Spirit, explicitly taught in the NT. The mysterious part is how can? Is there 3 persons or 1 person in the Godhead manifesting in different forms and we try to look at just the usage of language like "one" or "all" or "many" ro "few" to formulate the doctrine of Oneness or the doctrines of Predestination and Election, is a very risky thing to do.
Before we can embrace the doctrine of the Oneness of God, i think we have to ask ourselves what does all the Creeds in past church councils have to tell us? Are all these Creeds formulated out of thin air to be thrown aside by a later 'discovery' of a certain group of Christians? Did the newer group really do a proper exegesis or they read their conjecture of what God is like into the various scriptures raised up previously?
I believe we all owe it to ourselves to study what the Church had gone through and thought through the last 2 millenium, lest we jump into the sea of confusion again.
Regards.
