A Alternative Godhead View.
 
I understand that Classical Trinity doctrine isn't correct neither,are doctrines like Unitarism and such. However some of the Oneness definitions of the Godhead still leave some explaining to do and some of them are a bit radical in the way they are worded.

Is there a alternative Godhead view that is more correct than both The Trinity and Oneness views,and should someone maybe be seeking to find a more Biblical view,or at least use more Biblical terms in defining who God is ?

As for me I believe in One indivisible God who is plural in attributes but singular in being and all of the fullness of divinity lives in Jesus Christ.

I believe 'Jesus loves me'. A child can understand this.
Jesus is not a 'trickster'. He is not seeking to fool me or cause me to fail and fall. He is the one who caught me 'from' my fall when the devil/that old trickster was dragging me away to hell. Jesus is not easily fooled, He knows my heart. It was He who called me....by HIS NAME. I am His, and the devil cannot hold me, man can not confuse me and can no longer cause me to stumble with tricky and deceptive words. He won the battle. He won my battle. He did. No man or devil can take away what belongs to Jesus.

I'm here. I have most of the details worked out, however. :) The Hebraic concept of "one" lays the foundation for my beliefs.

I've been wondering if it's just me, or do fewer and fewer people actually type in English these days? Maybe typing in tongues is for real and I should pray for the gift of interpretation!

God does not have 'many-heads'. The many-headed beast is man.

Ok, well it should be said that God is multi-dimensional "in my house there are many rooms," but also that after you have

figured out, what you have just said about multi-headed is true, in a sense, in that one is one, and after that are offices, descriptions of manifestations, what you will. Getting lost in the details, not that the Trinity isn't a pretty manifestational detail. Don't forget to include, in your hybrid, that no man can intelligentify God into any quanta, k?

It's like that Navajo code, have a few Wind Talkers around here.

Amen!!! (Why don't they have an "amen" smilie...") LOL!

But yes, I don't see the Trinity, nor do I really see all the Oneness either.

Houston.... Hybrid .... sounds kinda like where I'm at too...
