Isn't it funny that 1. You understand the point in the context
of "man and wife" (namely that there are two persons yet only
one couple) and 2. You admit that the Bible illustrates this
dynamic perfectly and beautifully.

AND YET: You deny what the Bible says so beautifully and
perfectly, and the only argument you can come up with that
the Trinity is not the true God is that you count persons
and then, when you're done counting, change "persons"
to "gods" and declare polytheism.

How is it you understand "two persons yet one couple"
but you can't understand (and I don't mean "accept" or
"believe", only just "understand") "three persons yet
one God?"

This is typical of the JW inconsistant fundamentalism.

Really? Where does Scripture say this? Especially since Romans 9 says
that God's choices in election do not depend on human will or effort.
BTW, you're arguing in circles, since you are using 'good' to define
'just', but you haven't provided a definition for 'good' before jumping
in and saying 'I don't think your understanding of God's dealing with
the non-elect is good'.
