Jehovah or Trinity

I'm taking about a process which has value. The process cannot exist without differences. Yes, there will be things which are right and wrong. The process of uniting them, doesn't change that, instead it sets the stage for a process which has a lot of value and benefit.

So, if we're talking about the trinity, I don't know any Christian who splits the trinity. It's a unity. I'm saying that this process of uniting it is valid and can have value eventhough on the surface it sounds/feels wrong from a montheistic perspective. The trinity is an opportunity. It doesn't need to be seen in a negative way. It can be negative, but it doesn't need to be.

It's also not a matter of "splitting the trinity," it's a matter of understanding who the Father is, who the Son is, and what the holy spirit is.

I think there's multiple ways of correctly understanding, from the head and from the heart. Understanding intellectually is rigid. Understanding with the heart (empathy) is not.

Hmm, I was thinking about something today. (I do think occasionally...) In the wilderness, God backed Moses. OK, things got a little messed up as the centuries wore on, north separated from the south among other problems. So now when Jesus was on the earth, he told his disciples to pray to the Father. Once I learned more about it, and I'm not getting into complexities with language right now, it was crystal clear to me. There is one God, the Almighty. Jesus is the son of God, had been in heaven for a long time before he came to the earth. He knew and loved the Father and the Father loved him. The word 'god' can be applied in various ways, perhaps we can have that discussion another time.
