Many of those who believe in the Trinity don't see two or three idols. They see a mystery they can't explain. Of course...it's just an illogical tradition and that's why they can't explain it. But in all honesty...we can't fully "explain" Oneness either. God is beyond definition and those of any brand of theology should be very careful not to assume they have a monopoly on understanding the fulness of God's nature and person. I believe in Oneness because it's the most biblical out of the two. But in all honesty...even Oneness cannot explain the fulness of God's glory and person. It's like trying to use a single very bright light bulb to describe the sun. Sure the Trinitarian hears that the sun is so bright and they think it must be three light bulbs on the same lamp...and we read the Scriptures and argue for the idea that the sun is like one great light bulb. We're right...there is only one sun...but even our single light bulb description cannot adequately explain the size, brilliance, power, heat, and majesty of the sun. So also our Oneness theology cannot adequately capture God and all his person and glory. I've yet to truly see the sun...I've felt his warmth. Yes...he's one. I can't describe him. One will have to see the sun and feel it for themselves.
1 Timothy 3:16 (Amplified Bible)
6And great and important and weighty, we confess, is the hidden truth (the mystic secret) of godliness. He [God] was made visible in human flesh, justified and vindicated in the [Holy] Spirit, was seen by angels, preached among the nations, believed on in the world, [and] taken up in glory.
That was well put.
I appreciated it.
The problem I see with the Trinitarians, isn't so much their understanding as it is their not using the Name in baptism.
