It falls short on detailing how you shift from the religious *practice* to *religious focus* to *God*, and on how binitarian worship resulted in a triune God. It is the experiential reality of the collaborative kingdom articulated through an eschatological understanding of the starting of the end times through Christ's resurrection and the outpouring of the Spirit that meant that a twofold baptism was unacceptable in the first century. I hope this better explains my point. Thanks for your question :)John Bainbridgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03419403943860885174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1030759610229712416.post-8933024759667380672017-07-30T08:11:22.906+02:002017-07-30T08:11:22.906+02:00Ah, actually the sub-sentence: "perhaps even ...Ah, actually the sub-sentence: "perhaps even more than the New Testament texts, in order to hold the New Testament texts" isn't quite clear in its meaning. What do you mean by "hold the New Testament texts"? Then more to the point, why does the ultimate theological "stability" require a triune hub, or rather a trinitarian philosophy to sustain a conception which was "more than the New Testament texts" expressed?Richard W.

This idea: "the Triune Hub hypothesi...Hi John,<br />This idea: "the Triune Hub hypothesis suggests that in order for a stable religious bedrock to establish itself, it became increasingly clear as each off-kilter wave of teaching was refuted that this stability required co-centricity of Father, Son and Holy Spirit, perhaps even more than the New Testament texts, in order to hold the New Testament texts"<br /><br />seems a lot like an hypothesis in search of a data set to support it. Imagine a binitarian hub and see if that doesn't more closely match the data.Richard W. Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00766923774272243317noreply@blogger.com
