I have no problem with saying that they are not the same. Wow, how do I say this, but at the same time they are one. Sounds very trinitarian to me the way I speak. I guess I have been hanging around a lot of trinitarians lately.

But the phrase "Is Not" just seems to be using finite words to discribe an infinite God. That is where I have the problem not with the distinction.

I do think I understand what you are saying. And I am not asking if the diagram is how you would prefer to describe God, but rather if it holds true to scripture and your understanding of who God is.

The "is not" is there for good reason.

Well, I think it would be easier for trinitarians to go along with the diagram than oneness folks. I was always taught that the Godhead was just manifestations of one God. I tend to agree with this because it was always hammered into my head. I haven't completely made up my mind on all of this though.

I hear you.

This does not have to come from you...

but I am interested in knowing specifically what it is that a Oneness veiw disagrees on.
