| To bad Van Til didn't say they were One Person/Three Persons in the same sense, otherwise you would have a point. Reading Jones' rebuttal/rebuke of Robbins makes this clear.
And does anyone find it odd that if CVT truly held to this heresy (the favorite Reformed word of all time), that the OPC willingly, knowingly, ordained and supported such a known heretic? Maybe the OPC is heretical, too. Oops, that's been covered there as well... | I'm not sure how clear Jones actually made it as far as I could tell. But keeping with the the Westminster Confession of Faith, we never see where God is one Person in any sense. I see where you (and Jones) are coming from but I can't say that we can really call the Trinity "One Person." Having said that, I want to make myself clear. I wouldn't call Van Til or Clark a heretic. I do believe that Van Til was inconsistent but I wouldn't call him a heretic. Also, (on a more personal note) I have changed my avatar from a picture of Clark to a photo I took from Gene Cook's web site. I decided to do this because I realized that my avatar made me look like a Clarkian looking for a fight. I do believe that Clark was more consistent than Van Til and I have never enjoyed reading the little I have read by Van Til (especially his disciples Yuck! Frame, Bahnsen etc  ).
