I read it several years ago and don't really remember anything about it.

CD would be good.
Can you email it to me as a file?
I'm not sure what format it would be in, I guess whatever plays on iTunes
maybe it's AIFF?

Didn't mean I had what you were looking for. Just have the equipment to transfer from reel to reel, cassette or whatever format someone might have a selection on. The only thing I don't have is 8 track. Doubt there are many of those floating around.

And that does happen too.

Will the rest of the Christian world welcome it? Will they allow it? Do they interact with Oneness?

There already is a lot of interaction in certain areas. It's not all "those OPs"...since many look down on OPs as cultists, they really don't want any interaction other than debate.

David Bernard is a member of a Pentecostal group that is not strictly Oneness. There is presented a paper on the Oneness. Our leaders have met with AOG leaders and others for open dialogs too. But other segments of "Christianity" you might find harder to get interaction from

Someone mentioned that, but where is the evidence?

This whole "Three Step or Hell" thing is dying. It simply cannot be maintained in a world with a free flow of information. Too many lies have to be told to substantiate the whole house of cards.

We've built a house of cards on a foundation of sand, and we wonder why our kids drop out of church as soon as they're educated.

Pel, kids are dropping out of churches all across America, not just Oneness. If they are dropping out of OP churches I'd venture it has more to do with the standards than 3 step

I personally believe this would be a TERRIBLE move for the oneness movement. For many OBVIOUS reasons.

I like what Baron said, IF they're dead set on it, do a study Bible. But they already did that with the Word Aflame Bible with OP doctrine in the front.

But as for a New Oneness Translation--NO WAY.

Id rather see an extensive exegetical commentary..not done by some country bumpkin preacher, but men like Segraves and others

I think Tragedies of War needs to be published online along with a video interview of Loren. Also would love to publish a live interview with Ruth Nortje Goss.
