What say you?

Does this fit into your theological construct of God?

"The diagram is confusing btw.
God IS One. That's all we need to know."

I like the way the diagram explains the Godhead but I am not so sure that I like saying what God is NOT. If we as humans can barely understand the Godhead how in the world can we say what God isn't.

"In answer to your question about the diagram, I can see where one could argue both oneness and trinitarian. But I would say primarily trinity because it reminds me of the phrases (non biblical) of God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit."

I believe it shows the uniqueness of the God!

So, the "is" relation is not transitive?

Re: My Signature Diagram
 
What if you said, instead of "Is Not" you said "Is Distinct From"?

The Father "Is Distinct From" the Holy Spirit, etc.

Maybe that is just my oneness theology showing through.

But are they distinct from?

DG, I am totally OK with IS NOT. While being the same God, the Father is not the Son...

I am not sure. This is where I have a problem with oneness theology that I have been taught all my life. Scripture makes the distinction all throughout the bible. The language of the Father, Holy Spirit, and Son are all there and in plain sight so I am not making the distinction. The Bible does.
