LOL. I guess you need to give me some name to differentiate me from your BIG dog that Laura told us about. :-) I agree that names are important, but if you don't define the names used, they can be a hinderance, especially when they are loaded with different meanings for different people. For example, Jeff thought the Trinity was the view that the three persons of the Godhead were actually One person. That is Sabellianism, not the Trinity, but it is difficult to re-educate people. Many Trinitarians themselves misrepresent their own doctrine, not having really studied it themselves. Everyone has a Bible, so why not use Bible terms to talk about what the Bible teaches? A word is "Biblical" if the word is used in the Bible. Do you know any Bible anywhere, whether English, Greek, Latin, or whatever, that uses the word "Trinity"? If not, then I do not consider it a Biblical word. You said that Godhead and Trinity were the same for you, so what is the problem with using the Biblical term of Godhead? Peace be with you.
