RELIGION

I will be placing a summary of some stuff I recently wrote regarding "the trinity".
I don't like the word.  And I give my reasons.  I realize that there are many scriptures showing three persons
together so that they are indeed intimately associated, but Jesus said "I and the Father are one".  It is not
said this directly
and outright about the three being one, per se, now is it?
Jesus even prayed "That they may be one even as we are one".  So where does that leave us?
It just seems to me that those who insist you use this word "trinity" have their hair buns wrapped too tight
and insist the King James Bible is the only authorized version if you catch my drift.
It seems to me it should really be a moot issue.  God is God.
And then I read recently that since Jesus said "I and the Father are one" does that mean that the Father
was crucified.  Now there you go again. Why do you have to make things complicated when they're not.
Just leave it alone, will ya?!
It's one of those issues that takes on a life of it's own.  And tends to divide only.
Those who insist on using the word seem to have an agenda - and you must jump through this hoop with
them or you're just not a proper believer in their eyes.  Sad.
