Please refrain from preaching in this forum. (You can see how much good it does.)

TRINITY, n. In the multiplex theism of certain Christian churches, three entirely distinct deities consistent with only one.
The Trinity is one of the most sublime mysteries of our holy religion. In rejecting it because it is incomprehensible, Unitarians betray their inadequate sense of theological fundamentals.
In religion we believe only what we do not understand, except in the instance of an intelligible doctrine that contradicts an incomprehensible one. In that case we believe the former as a part of the latter.

Actually, a whole bunch of different people in different decades (even centuries). Doubtless quite a few of them had no idea that their personal letters would one day be used to justify all kinds of atrocities.

So he couldn't take the time to put pen to paper? First person accounts might have lended a little more credibility. Or not, depending of their coherence...

Then he must be really disappointed by the results.

No way. I've got a long list of problems with God's "ways".

An occasional sermon helps to keep us on our toes. Besides, I almost invariably know the content, so I can skim read them very easily.
