CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

These discussion threads are not structured as a set of private conversations. We can PM each other for those. Each thread is a group discussion on the thread topic.
My comment was just an observation on my part.
So where you post this --
I responded : "And we find part of that statement in Jesus' prayer - in John 17:11,21 "
Because there Jesus said "That they may be ONE as WE are ONE". Which gets to your point "three distinct members" in the case of the Godhead, and in vs 11 we see that the distinct members of the disciples are to "be one" just as the distinct member of the Godhead are one.
IT is easy to see that the disciples were called to be "one" as in being in "unity" and of one accord... and certainly not called to be "one being". So also the Godhead as 3 persons is One - being in unity - but still 3 persons -- not "one person"
So this is me just emphasizing the same point you made and expanding on it a bit.
