The article is an outline of "The Biblical Basis of the Doctrine of the Trinity."
"Over 7000 times God speaks or is spoken of with singular pronouns (I, He, etc.); but this is proper because God is a single individual being; thus these singular forms do not disprove that God exists as three "persons" as long as these persons are NOT separate beings."
I know that many trinitarians are confused, but I thought that this was a very interesting statement.

When we try explain the Godhead to a monotheistic Jew or Muslim ... whether we use the word
MANIFESTATION OR PERSON ... both Trinitarians and Oneness Christians sound like they are dividing God.
The Jew or Muslim has no tolerance for these type of nuances ...
We keep on playing this game of semantics .... and it makes us feel so proud that we UNDERSTAND it ALL .... yet, its simple, both believe in ONE GOD ... there has never been any debate about this point.
