Each member of the Godhead is equally God, each is eternally God, and each is fully God‐not three gods but three Persons of the One Godhead. .... This—the one and undivided divine nature—is also possessed equally and fully by the Son and Spirit. (Bruce A. Ware, Father, Son and Holy Spirit: Relationships, Roles, and Relevance, p. 43)
What did Bruce Ware believe about the Trinity? One thing he did believe in is that in terms of being (ontology, immanant Trinity), God is one and each person is fully equal to the other. Also, each person does not have one-third of the divine nature, but rather the whole divine nature is "possessed equally and fully" by all persons of the Godhead. As it can be seen, Ware does not believe that any one person of the Trinity is higher or superior to the other as it regards to their being; all are ontologically equal.

This is my blog, and in order to facilitate an edifying exchange, I have came up with various blog rules. Please do read them before commenting, as failure to abide by them would make your post liable to being unapproved for publication. Violation of any of the rules three or more times, or at the blog owner's judgment, would make one liable to be banned from posting unless the blog owner (me) is satisfied that such behavior would not occur again.
