Did you get your questions answered to your satisfaction?

The Tanakh is without doubt presenting A God who is absolutely One. Thats what the entire Oneness Pentecostal restoration was all about.

See this is far to important to simply be "nice" to each other about. Many are trying to destroy the Oneness faith that was delivered to us by the Apostles. They seem to be doing a good job on this forum as more are doubting if not outright falling all the time.

Did this series help in understanding why it is so important to test our doctrinal arguments against the original (or as close to the original as we can get) manuscripts?

Another one of my foundational premises is: Do not look to the scriptures for support of your doctrine, rather, look to the scriptures for a doctrine to support. Then test that doctrine against the entire body of scripture, not just those verses that 'appear' to support your position(s).

Here are a few threads that might provide a little help in undertaking a serious Bible study.
