Cheryl,
Thanks again for your reply. I hope I am not laboring this question too much but I’d just like to clarify things a bit more if I may.
You said
The question is what is “different” things? Two people can do the same task differently but that is not “different” things.
Are you sure? I may say that when my wife teaches our children she does “different things” to me. She is much more creative, using drawings etc. “Different things” could just refer to the details of how one is involved in getting the task done.
You would know the context of Bruce’s statements better than me, but he may be referring to the details of the different ways that the persons of the trinity work together on the same task. Bruce may well agree with you that “the persons that are God do the same things, each one is Savior, each one is Lord, creator, etc.” You may be quite happy for his music illustration to describe your own thoughts about the different ways that the three persons of the trinity work together on the same task as our Savior.
I am just interested in picking the true battle.
I may be wrong, but the main battle is everywhere else expressed in your last comment. It is not the fact of different persons, same things, different ways, or different things, but what comps do with these things. They always seem to want to stick authority wherever there is difference.
As you state at the end – ” Bruce Ware’s view is that only one leads as only one has the highest honor, the highest praise, etc. ” Therefore each person of the trinity is NOT FREE to do the same things in their own individual way.
Feel free to shoot me down in flames if I am on the wrong track.
