I really don't see confusion with the Trinity. I only see confusion when someone tries to overthink the concept.
You forget that I have dealt with JW's for years and see how easily they pervert the doctrine because of how badly it si worded in the modern sense.
Tell me, how many Christians do you think can give a decent defense of the Trinity doctrine?
It is a doctrine of Nature, stating that Father, Son and HS share the same nature, a divine nature we call "God".
So, reword it so 1stJohnny can understand better, and come to a saving faith in the real Jesus Christ. Not to put too much pressure on you Paul.
