Merger

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

I don't think this agrees with trinitarian doctrine; all three Persons 
are uncreated, but the Father is the maker of heaven and earth. The Son 
and the Holy Spirit inform and influence but don't seem to directly create.
