Three Gods

You:
He was wary of analogies that might suggest the idea of three gods (and
warned that all analogies were but feeble attempts to understand and
explain God's nature). 

Me:
Every trinitarian is wary about "sounding" like they are saying what they
are infact saying, that they are trying to make God a "them" instead of
accepting that He is just plain and simple "Him."  Him/Spirit at creation,
Him/Spirit at the fall, Him/Spirit to Abraham, Him/Spirit to Moses,
Him/Spirit in the Temple, Him/Spirit talking to the Pharisees about taxes
and HALLELUJAH! Him/Spirit living in me by the sacrifice He made wile in
the flesh of Jesus Christ!  Any way you "slice" it, 
;-0  THAT is the Oneness doctrine.  The doctrine of the trinity just isn't
the same.  No way.

You:
> Most careful Trinitarian writers, in my experience, will describe the
persons of the Godhead as "distinct," but not as "separate," since they
believe the distinctions are within God's one, indivisible substance.

Me:
When you make a "distinction" you have made a separation.  My hand, my foot
and my nose fit into this definition of the trinity: have distinctness but
being of the same "essence" but how many "persons" do these terms
represent?  These are "manifestations" of my whole and though they are
useful "designations" they are not "distinctions."

Did this guy use the term "they" in reference to the God head?
I'd say he did!  I have debated several trinitarians and they simply can't
debate very long without using the term "they" in regard to the God head! 
"They" is plural.
