Checked your Freeper Home Page. Any man who likes to shoot and who is reading the City of God and the Early Church Fathers is okay by me. Sorry, but I took you for someone who had no clue about the Trinity. As I age, my attention span dwindles!

Understandable. I was mearly trying (and doing so badly) to make the point that English isn't the best language for Theology. Even Latin is deficient at times, Greek is the best.
That is why most pastors in the LCMS have to learn Greek at seminary. If you don't have at least a working knowledge of it, you can miss a lot in the translation.
