What disturbs me is when I hear one condemn an entire group of people and they are not walking in the fulness of obedience themselves. Before you judge the Trinitarian seeker over the mote in their eye... remove the BEAM from your own eye! Then you will know how to lovingly help your misguided brother or sister understand the truth more perfectly.

Selah!
Who knows what if I am right being a trinitarian?
what if you are wrong?

I was raised in a trinny faith and we never discussed it or even thought about it.

Unless you believe that someone must have a complete and perfect understanding of the Godhead to be saved than all trinitarians going to hell is just not a possible conclusion.

And if you believe that a perfect understanding of the Godhead is necessary for salvation then a whole lotta oneness folks are also headed where ever you believe lost folks are going.

And this is the thing I find the most bizzare about Apostolics... they really think that the sun rises and sets on what they believe... and the truth is that more than 99% of the population have no idea WHAT we believe... They have no idea why we don't wear pants or why a man walks around in a long sleeve shirt in summer. They are more likely to conclude that he is hiding inappropriate tattoos than that he is doing it for God. And most trinnys have no idea that there is ANY OTHER way that Christians believe... It's just not even part of their equation while they are doing their best to love Jesus.

We are so self focused and arrogant... and sad. We make it so us against them... and mostly they don't even know we exist.

I wondered how long it would take someone to ask that. It is me milking a goat. Actually a goat with a nearly perfect udder. It is my avatar on a milk-goat forum where no one ever asks what it is 'cause they already know... and the only picture I have that is already shrunk down to the right pixels so I used it.

Here it is in normal size:



And here is the pretty side of Opie my Alpine.
