Bro. Brown,

In a sense that is my point exactly. At times many of us seem to have
developed the attitude of, "If a trinitarian did it, its no good." What I
was trying to show for the benefit of some of our members is that God
provided our fellowship with ready-made tools, such as a Bible translation,
Concordances, etc. to spread the truth from the moment we saw it. This is
comparable to the Israelites coming to the promised land to possess houses
they did not build, vineyards they did not plant, etc. (or have I confused
this with the return of the exiles??)

It seems at times there are so many people who want to forget that the
years between 100AD and 1913 ever happened, and that the Apostles doctrine
in all its purity has been maintained by one group since then. As fewer and
fewer people remain alive who remember the restoration of these truthes to
the church, there is a danger that we will assume it has always been like
this and forget that the Oneness movement was called out of a bunch of
trinitarians who were hungrier for God than their denominational tradition!
And I personally think there are as many hungry trinitarians out there now
as then, only this time they have people to show them the Way! (sorry I'm
getting excited!) But, no one will show them the Way if we assume they
don't want it before we tell them. As I said in my article, many
denominational leaders who rejected our message are now dead, and there is
a new generation to reach.

Hope this explains and does not confuse,

Frank
