Thank you for your comment. The doctrine...Hi David,<br />Thank you for your comment. The doctrine of the Trinity, for some, is a central tenant of Christianity. This however, is foreign to the image portrayed in the New Testament. To be good students of the text, we must be hermeneutically consistent and not force later categories and concepts into the text. I think your observations are correct. There are many in leadership positions (not all) who are unable to consider any alternative options and opinions because, as gatekeeps to the faith which they were handed, it is their duty to maintain the orthodoxy, and the "church," in this way of thinking, has already decided what the "truth" is in these matters. Keep digging. You may also want to check out the website and podcast of a friend of mine whose life mission is to investigating and dialoguing around this topic. Dr. Dale Tuggy at www.trinities.org. He has actually just released a book on the subject. If you have further questions, feel free to contact me; my info is on the blog. <br />All the Best,<br />ShaunS.

For me, the jury is still out - concerning doctrine of the Trinity - but am astounded that in general, most clergy figuratively turn their head when confronted with "another perspective."<br />Observation: We may practice more civil means today to deal with the "exile" but the results "ignore-to-eradicate" are seeming the same. Thank you.<br />David RussellDavid C. Russell, Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10418513249724681496noreply@blogger.com
