... By the way, a lot of folks feel that the term "Mormon" is incorrect verging on offensive, I'm neutral on that and most everything religious myself. Pakaran 19:10, 18 Dec 2003 (UTC)


Pakaran - great point. I'll change to Latter-day Saint.

(Request for use of word Person in opening.)

Good call. I've added in the word Persons into the intro, however kept the others as they are used by other Catholic, Orthodox and Protestants. However, please feel free to edit/alter if you have better words. Although this article includes a Mormon perspective, hopefully other Christian religions will show up on the page as well. "Manifestations" is not a word that Mormons would use to describe the Godhead (Latter-day Saints would actually prefer "persons" or "personages"), but the word came from the Trinity page - as well as in a discussion with an evangelical friend (American Protestant). It sounds like you have some good ideas that could help the flow. Feel free to share them in the article. -Visorstuff 23:50, 18 Dec 2003 (UTC)


Minor unrelated suggestions: "Most Christians believe that God the Father has always existed in His current forms, whatever they may be (see Nicene Creed. ". #1) Shouldn't that be "form" rather than "forms", and #2) shouldn't there be a closing paren, and #3), shouldn't Nicene (or Niocene ?) be a link ? -- ll


Redundant

It's redundant to state that God is omnibenevolent and then state that "He is also merciful, kind and just and full of love." All of those characteristics and more are included in the meaning of omnibenevolent. B 02:00, Dec 19, 2003 (UTC)
