My question is: How do Trinitarians reconcile there being only one God if, as they now claim, the three are not one as the WT claimed the doctrine, but three in one?
the term "one Godhead" is not scriptural to my recollection and does not help the logic.
Binadub, you're absolutely right, Godhead isn't a Scriptural term. I never thought it was. I was just trying to answer your question, which was how Trinitarians reconcile one God with "three in one" and explain how they also see God, as the Trinity, as "one in three". I wasn't trying to justify it, nor explain it logically, but just help you in understanding Trinitarian thinking, which is what I thought your question sought.
Thanks for going into the question of Michael again. I studied all that very, very carefully on my way into the Witnesses, and came to the conclusion that maybe I could accept it as possible. i.e. I didn't believe strongly enough that it was impossible for it to prevent me from becoming a Witness.
One of the big differences between Catholics (and Anglicans, and maybe Episcopalians too for that matter) is that JW's seek reason and logic. (Some might feel that the WT bends Scriptural truth at times to fit a thread of reasoning that it seeks to prove, but that's another matter.) Catholics, particularly, don't. One of the predominant strands of Catholic thinking and worship is mysticism, which I haven't found very evident in WT thinking and practice, although of course I'm aware that my experience of WT thinking is limited. As for Anglicans, they are more likely in some respects to accept anything that feels mainstream, and within Anglicanism is a very wide spectrum of beliefs and doctrines indeed.
I wasn't answering as a Catholic, Binadub, but just as someone who happens to know Catholic and Anglican doctrine and thinking, through and through, trying to explain, not prove logically.
Thanks for that link to Mike Brown's site.
