Thanks for the good scholarly work. It’s an easier argument all around before the incarnation, to think of the logos as a unity but then God/Man Jesus starts talking to God the Father, loving the Father, Wanting to Please the Father (not his inner self). He raises his eyes to the skies when he prays…to himself? How does that work? I confess that I don’t think trinitarian theology does exact justice to what the scriptures say about the person of God whom we should really expect to be much more complex than a ‘big man.’ A person has a personality and Jesus is talking to someone he perceives to be “up there” and who has a will that might be different than his own. More details please on this. thanks

Hi Mike. Thanks for your comments. I agree that we tie our own hands by referring to the Word as a thought in the mind of God, or even a play in the mind of a playwrite. The closest to my view is Kenneth V. Reeves. I just go one step further in my description of the Logos as all the fullness of the Godhead. Reeves is my favorite Oneness author on the Godhead. I highly recommend his books: Kenneth V Reeves I feel that his books are essential reading. Randy

Hi Randy. This is the view I hold of the Logos. I think Oneness has tied its hands behind its back by teaching it is just Gods thought or plan. I only know of a few teachers like Ross Drysdale teaching it the way we see it. Do you know of any others? Good article.
