Christene word immers verbreek deurdat hulle God as drie-enige wese verstaan (vgl. Cohen
1997:329).
Indien Christene egter in weerwil van die hermeneutiese afstand vanaf die Bybel nogtans aan
die Bybel, en veral aan Paulus en die res van die Nuwe Testament, wil vashou as normatief

dieselfde doen, kan ek nie sien waarom hulle mekaar se status as God se mense hoef te
bekragtig nie – solank daar onderlinge respek, verdraagsaamheid, medemenslikheid en die
begeerte om in vrede saam te leef, by albei groepe teenwoordig is.
