Myklyost,

I would agree that you are on the right track.  I would advise you to read widely as possible in order to develope your own views.

As regards to Biblical Authority some have used the Bible as a source of proof texts, which is not its purpose.  The authority of the Bible is its message of love, joy, and peace.  It is not the source of rules that people must obey or doctrines that people must believe.  Read the Letters of Paul for what they are, letters to struggling churches, and the first books the NT for what they are, the story of the founding of a new faith.

As I said the Bible is primarily the history of God’s relationship with God’s people, not a book of rules or doctrines.  The Trinity is a summary way of speaking of the relationship between God, the Father, God, the Son, and God, the Holy Spirit, found in the New Testament.  It points to the fact that differences between persons do not mean inequality.     

Peace and Joy,
