GINOLJC, first I thank my God the Lord Jesus for your response. I read your response, twice. I believe what’s the assessment here is nature vs relationship. believe me I understand what you’re saying. let me say this first, is this the SAME? “I and my Father are One” and “Philippians 2:6 "Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God”. are these two statement the SAME? NO. but I do understand you, for the NATURE of God is the RELATIONSHIP, meaning LOVE. but we’re discussing the ontological nature of God which is a particular theory about the nature of being (not relationship) or the kinds of things that have existence. this nature is dealing with abstract entities, (Persons) that the difference. the bottom line is, as you have said, God is Love, and how he expressed that Love is the topic. the 3 person in one NATURE is not a relationship, nor one person. I agree with you,.. is this worth arguing over ………… no, let me say that again, NO. but reproof is in the doctrines and not the belief. we all believe in One God, but not on person(s). our doctrine dictate our beliefs, and in the long run affect our faith. and without FAITH one cannot please God. so what’s the divide?, proper worship, and proper worship comes from knowledge and understanding of the Scriptures. listen, Hebrews 11:6 "But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him”. VictoryinJesus how many persons is “he” and “him”……. I’ll let you be the Judge of that, take note the scripture did not say, "But without faith it is impossible to please THEM". but, still some still don’t know and understand that the Lord Jesus is the God of the OT Spirit. see many take away God glory by saying God created everything through the son. that’s an ERROR, but if one is without knowledge, the fruit of their lips will speak lies. see the point, scripture, Hosea 4:6 "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children”. now if you believe ignorantly you will worship ignorantly, hence the reason for Hosea 4:6. have you ever wonder, I believe but it seems like I’m not getting anywhere???. I put 3 question mark there.... now re-assess Hebrews 11:6. Jesus is the only true God, that’s the relationship. and what is that relationship, let the bible tell us, Philippians 3:10 "That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death". for “he” holds the 3 titles “Father”, “Son”, and “Holy Spirit” in the three dispensation or Administration of God. once one knows this then they can worship properly. because they will know.I am not sure I understand
now if you want to discover the ontological nature of God, I don’t mind.
