I think so too. But the facts are as follows:
1. Jesus and God are one (“I and the Father (God) are one”, John 10:30).
2. The Holy Spirit (Power of God or “Power of the Most High”, Luke 1:35) and God are one.
(The Holy Spirit is God’s Power by which he acts in the world and which is inseparable from God.)
3. Therefore, God, God’s Son, and the Holy Spirit are One. — Apollodorus
God is the same as his power and his love and his justice and everything about him. He is one thing. That is what monotheism is about. — Gregory
I would take issue with the claim that 'the Holy Spirit and God are one' is consistent with understanding the Holy Spirit to refer to God's power or agency. For that's a category error. A person's power is not one and the same as the person, but is rather a property of that person. I have powers, but I am not my powers. — Bartricks
Good try — Apollodorus
The trinity is Neoplatonic. — frank
The numbers are simply meant as analogies to illustrate what I feel is the meaning of The Holy Trinity — TheMadFool
That is because the longer the sides of the triangle become, the closer it gets — Amalac
I begin to see the worth of having theists on the forum. They are excellent bad examples. — Banno
Wouldn’t this amount to nothing more than talking to yourself? — Pinprick
By the way, did you just think of that trick now, or did you read about it somewhere in connection with the Trinity? — Apollodorus
I just thought that God is, by definition, sui generis. He isn't an ordinary "object" or comparable to anything else. — Apollodorus
It's all me - I haven't read anything whatsoever about the trinity, but I am sure someone else will have made the same point somewhere. — Bartricks
one cannot then argue that the irrational is rational. — Fooloso4
If it can be shown that the "irrational" is rational then it ceases to be irrational. — Apollodorus
What I said is that one can make a rational argument for theological irrationality. — Fooloso4
This thread is about the Trinity, not about you. I think you are confused. — Apollodorus
It is not about me. And it is not about you. This is about a very old problem that Christian theologians have wrestled with for well over a thousand years. — Fooloso4
... my posts ... myself ... I said ... I keep pointing ... I have offered ... — Fooloso4
