Kay,

If you disagree with it being about husbands/wives, please give me your interpretation as to why it is men/women?

Dave,

I am not trying to completely seperate the Trinity. But what the three persons ‘did’ at creation was not the same. Nor was their ‘role’ in salvation history the same. Hence why i believe we should not compound the members, but like you said, nor should we tear them apart. At the end of the day i am always going to throw my hands up in the air, and side with Augustine at the lack of ability in our terminology to express this biblical truth. I can only attempt to explain my view to the best of my ability.

“This is because when you say ONLY the Father sent the Son you have let go of the oneness of the Trinity completely (not just function…but completely).”

Can you explain this more for me Dave, why you believe you lose the oneness of the Trinity completely? Thanks

That said, you have just gained about 200% more respect from me if you ride a bike?
