Chris,
Really you have nothing to worry about on this from me. I'm more interested in how Paul does and the translation process then argueing with you.
I think most of the reason I'm at rest over this is the fact of you admitting to not being born again recently to me. From there I understood more of where your understanding is in the scriptures. Without this renewel of the spirit, your understanding will be one place while mine will be on another.
I'm not condeming you at all Chris in this, please don't take this as some elitist attitude from me. Quite the contrary, I would hope that Father gives you a desire to seek this "experience" and you learn how to approach this with an open heart and some faith to receive from His sacrifice. Then I would be sure that your understanding and mine would be the same in all things, and we would be in agreement.
I could never say that the oneness doctrinal thing you promote here does not anger me, yes it does, but I do know where this comes from now and why. And in that knowledge, I'm more at rest over it.
