Re: GOD IS ONE! But there are Three who are that One

There are theories, based on some Scriptural verses, that say that God must be a trinity.

And there are theories that God must be "one". There's no more support for one theory than the other. It just depends on which Scriptures you cherry-pick.

Eliyahu writes:

Just as like you can argue for a trinity, you can also argue for a duality, a quartet, or whatever.

A quartet would account for the clover's stem.

Eliyahu writes:

There is no Biblical verse which says that God is a trinity. Some deduce that by means of theories.

"God is one" is not a theory, it is a straightforward Biblical teaching:

It doesn't make any difference whether a theory is based on one verse or several.

Eliyahu writes:

Be that as it may, that still doesn't change the fact that the fact that God is one is not a theory, but a straightforward Biblical teaching.

It is a fact that the teaching exists. It is not a fact that the teaching is true.

Except for God, He is ONE.

You remind me of Jeb Bush: "George is ahead. Stop counting!"
