We worship the undivided Trinity. For the same hath saved us

Thank you for the response. I am in agreement with you about this and worship the same God. I AM serious about what I believe and I know why I do as well.

"I AM serious about what I believe..."

I don't doubt that for one minute.

"... and I know why I do as well.

I feel like I have only just scratched the most obvious areas of the surface of what, within the economy of salvation, our created purpose is and how we "get there". I do know that it isn't something we "see" with our eyes or comprehend fully with our minds.

"βλέπομεν γὰρ ἄρτι δι’ ἐσόπτρου ἐν αἰνίγματι, τότε δὲ πρόσωπον πρὸς πρόσωπον· ἄρτι γινώσκω ἐκ μέρους,...", as +Paul says.

Somewhere within the experience of the "uncreated light", as on Mount Tabor, the nous , the "eye of the soul", becomes clearer and we understand and experience more of the uncreated energies of God.

"He is called light, Who transcends all light, because He illumines us; and life, Who is beyond all life, because He vivifies us. Shining around us all, and encircling and cherishing us with the glory of His divinity, He is called raiment, and so we saw that we clothe ourselves with Him Who is intangible in every way and Who cannot be grasped. Uniting Himself without mingling with our soul, and making it all as light, He is said to indwell us and, uncircumscribed, become circumscribed." +Symeon the New Theologian

So I study and pray and worship the Trinity, bb. I suspect I will do that for the rest of my earthly life.
