"Your right, I should have read the whole article instead of skimming through it."

I usually do the same thing, but the above called out to me. Another point this guy states to prove he doesn't know much about the Trinity is...

"...there are three distinguishable beings in one God. Each possess the God nature and besides this one God with three beings there is none other."

There are three PERSONS - not three beings! We are polytheists now? God is one being, one essence, the divine nature - who happens to consist of three distinct persons. God said "I am who am", not "I are who are", or "We are who are".

Yikes!

Regards

There are three PERSONS - not three beings!

Again. Check the reasoning. 'God in three persons' is the phrasing I usually use, but based on the english language (of which I speak a little) being and person can be used interchangably.

From Webster:

Being - To exist in actuality; to have life or reality; to occupy a specified position.

Person - An individual of specified character.

Let me assure you any difference is merely syntactical in the author's case.
