If what we say about oneness is absolutely true, why does Paul refer to the Father & Son as seperate things?? Why does Jesus refer to His Father's plan as if it is something different than His own? Why does Jesus essentially beg for His life in Gethsemene? Why does Jesus say he'll send another in reference to the Holy Ghost??

The more I really look and study about what God is, the more I think we just need to shrug our shoulders and admit that we don't know, but that we do know a few things, and those few things are the 4 points I listed in my last post...
Im just trying to get to the bottem of this sort of Trinitarian view and wording, answering by stating what is wrong with Oneness is not helping. There are plenty of other threads already on Oneness and it has been stated ad nauseum that Oneness is not perfect either

Apostolic is defined on AFF as:

  1. There is One God. This one God reveals Himself distinctly as Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
  2. The Son is God himself in a human form or "God manifested in the flesh" (1Tim 3:16)
  3. Every sinner must repent of their sins.
  4. That Jesus name baptism is the only biblical mode of water baptism.
  5. That the Holy Ghost is for today and is received by faith with the initial evidence of speaking in tongues.
  6. The saint will go on to strive to live a holy life, pleasing to God.
