DAVEH:
Do you recognize/accept the Trinity Doctrine? To me, the word
doctrine means a set of principles, something concrete to use as a
measuring device. I am not sure that I can describe the trinity and do
justice. Your idea of one in purpose is clearly included, but I think
Bill and Kevin made it more clear. I believe in a triune God. Whether
for clarification we use "persons", or "personalities", or Gods, there
are three. They have not only the same purpose (A baseball team has
the same purpose), they are absolutly alike in how they think. No
disagreement whatsoever on any point, at any time. They have exactly
the same attributes and emotions. What one loves, they all love. What
one hates, they all hate. You cannot play one against the other
because they are always in total agreement. They are unified like no
three humans have ever been.
I wish I could explain it better
I do not
know when the apostasy began. I do not know any reformers. I
don't even know what a tangential path looks like or where it leads. I
am fairly ignorant of these things you find important. I am not even
certain what it is you offered to explain.
Do you not believe that we are in the last days?
DAVEH: Yes I do. But as you mentioned previously, you believe the
last days started 2 millennia ago......
First, the book of Hebrews explains
that we have been in the last days for almost two thousand years, Heb
1:1-2.
........So, my point was that the falling away could have taken place
shortly after Jesus' death and still be considered in the last days
as opposed to thinking the falling away has not yet happened.
Have
you looked at
Paul's comments to Timothy in 2nd. Tim.3:1-5? Have you seen these
things come about in your life time? I have.
DAVEH: But....I assume you do not think the falling away (apostasy)
has exclusively happened in these latter-days?
No, I think it has been a long gradual slide, but starting about
the time of ww2, the slide got steeper and we picked up speed Now we
are like a runaway freight train headed down hill with the throttle to
the wall. The slide is about over and the wreck will be terrible, and
none of us can stop it. God has a plan, and His plans always work the
way He wants them to.
