Regarding v. 7, it says that the Father, Word, and Spirit are "hen," the neuter form of the Greek one. You are saying that all three refer to one person, but again, I think you'll need to have a good answer for why "one" is neuter and not the masculine "heis."

So if one in verse 7 does not actually mean one as in an absolute way, what does it mean the Father, Word, and Spirit are one?
Do we surrender the verse to the Trins?
