Question
Dear Scott. Warmest greetings to in in the wonderful name of Jesus Christ. I write concerning the above mentioned topec as it has been a source of great controversy in christianity today. Just who is God? Some say that God eternally exists as 3 persons co-existing from all eternity, while others say that God exists only as two person from all eternity (the binitarians), while others say that that Jesus is the one true God who manifested himself in a body of flesh, and it is with this latter group that I am a part. Now I am not sure of your position on the matter, but if you are a trinitarian, my question is, how can the oneness of God be fully appreciated without viewing it from a unitarian oneness point of view? Thanks as I await your reply. The Lord bless you.

Answer
Hi David,

It's nice to hear from you. Before I respond, I need to know if you're asking a question or making an argument. In other words, are you coming to me genuinely looking for answers, or are you writing to convince me of a position you already hold and plan to adhere to?

Expertise

I have studied the Bible and Bible-related topics since the time I was very young. My education includes a Bachelor of Science degree with a major in Bible, and a Master of Divinity degree. I enjoy delving into deep theological issues and always enjoy a healthy debate. But more importantly, I like working with people and helping them to find the answers that they are looking for. And I am convinced that these answers are available in the Bible.

Experience

By the grace and mercy of God, I have been saved, born again, adopted into the family of God. God has given me a love for the Bible, and for Bible-related subjects. In addition, He has blessed me with ongoing training in the Scriptures, from my youth on up. The more I learn about God through His Word, the more I want to share!
