Well, there are Oneness teachers who do not explain things very well. Which, by the way, there are trinitarians who likewise(perhaps unintentionally) misrepresent trinitarianism. I had a Baptist argue with me years ago, he began by asking 'now, you don't really believe Jesus is God, do you?' He went on to 'explain' to me that Jesus isn't God, he's God's Son. And this, he claimed, was 'the trinity'. I am sure many trinitarians would have cringed at the thought of this guy making such claims on their behalf.

To me, the doctrine of the Trinity makes more sense. I consider myself to be a Trinitarian. When I read some explanations of Oneness and the Trinity I think some things come down to semantics. Some, not all.

According to the trinitarian experts, if it 'makes sense' it must be an incorrect presentation of the doctrine, because the trinity is an 'unfathomable, incomprehensible mystery that is to be accepted on faith'. So I've been told.
