Godhead - Line upon Line

Although some of you will not understand this approach to Scripture, this is not designed to be a debate. If it ends up going that way, my plan will be just to discuss this topic with a few people through PMs.

Here is my goal. Over the years I have studied the writings of Arians, Unitarians, Oneness and Trinitarians concerning the Godhead. The reason I studied their writings was because we all have a tendency to think we know what the other groups views truly are - quite frankly, most the time we do not. So, what I am proposing is that we attempt to look at Scripture as objectively as possible (which will be very hard for some because you think you are so right), to discover what the author's original intent was concerning his concept of God. Let us pretend, if you will, that we know nothing about God and we are on a journey. We will begin with Genesis and hit the main concepts about God, verse by verse, to discover the unfolding revelation of God. If we do this with the right spirit, we will all learn a great deal from it. Let us endeavor to allow the Word of God to be the final authority. BTW, so that you know, and although some will think this anyway, I do not have an agenda to prove any specific view. This is something I have desired to do for a few years, and I am hoping I found the right forum to do it in.

In order to keep this from getting to out of hand, I will control when we go to the next verse/passage to discuss. I am hoping to learn, and I hope you do to. In my next post I will give the first passage for us to discuss.

Blessings to all
