I love the attempts at humor. Would you be so kind if other threw them in your direction.... Oneness would mean Jesus was talking to Himself in the garden

oneness would mean Jesus would have to say not my will be done by mine

How about God the ventriliquist? God in heaven with using his "big voice" "This is my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased" God now in His little voice "thank you Father, I have fulfilled all righteousness"

Crude? Yes, it is, but it demonstrates the coursness of which most unknowing oneness folks use in their attempts to demean a doctrine they know nothing about

I've heard them all. I've spent quite a bit of time on CARM for the past year. I also know about their doctrine from their own mouths. So please don't think I'm ignorant of their doctrines of the Trinity, of salvation, of the hypostatic union, of perichoesis, etc. I've thought about their doctrines and don't find them scriptural. And though I most certainly don't have all the answers regarding the incarnation, I know God is not triune.

And to be even more direct, less then 6 months ago I seriously considered whether the doctrine of the Trinity might possibly be true. God even gave me a dream months before this time of testing that I was being led into false doctrine. I didn't understand at the time what was meant but when it came to pass, I understood. The Spirit within me also witnessed to my spirit that something was terribly wrong. For over four days as I was contemplating whether the doctrine of the Trinity could be the truth, I had a sick sinking feeling within the pit of my being. I prayed and fasted for God to lead me and preserve my way in his truth. And He did.

The sinking feeling went away. Peace of mind came back to me when I realized there is absolutely no way God is a Trinity. It's a seducing doctrine of devils.
