I might not be the right person to address this; because you are in the rim of "religion" even what people call "Christian Theology" is only religious studies but they label it "Theology".
I am in the field of "Theology Proper" And total "GOD" centered referring to "The Biblical Text" what GOD has said and not what we think or others in the Biblical text has pen and thought how GOD is..
So, I have read "Tertullian" take on the Trinty because he is one of the Church fathers who put the polish touch on the term or doctrine. of "The Trinty". But I already had my view and personal understanding of "The Father, The Son and the Holy Ghost" by reading "The Book" that simple. But I had to understanding what The "Doctrine of The Trinty" was. You cannot understand what "The Doctrine of The Trinty" is if you never read The "doctrine".
How could you talk about something or heard the term mention and you do not understand what it is. So I study what "Tertullian" said about it. and Outside of The "doctrine". His conclusion of it was like my understand.
Bottomline. There is "GOD the Father", GOD the SON, And GOD The SPIRIT" and they are in agreement 3 three different persons and I do not know what A "GOD" is. I never saw one, neither can my finite mind can contain what one is. If It is three in one, that's what it is. Because it is not human, and the best it can be describe. ok.
Example" i am PloughBoy, 1. I have body, 2. I have soul 3. I have a "Spirit". and they all three are different and they operate different and on earth they must be in agreement for me to exist. 3 in 1. And that is human. Now Ask me about GOD. If the Bible say The Father The Son The Holy Ghost. and they are one. Ok, turn the page and go on to the next chapter.
And religious people, go ahead on. If God said it, i believe it. Next. if he wants me to know, he will tell me. "THEO" "OLOGY".
American Standard Version
But godliness with contentment is great gain: :
1. God The Father Told Jesus; To create all creation, and then go down there and die in a Body I AM going to prepare for you and I want you to submit to those devils and then in 3 days get up from the gravel.. He said: OK.
2. He did what his Father told Him to do. He said every thing his father told him to say, He did everything his father told him to do. No questions ask.
3. Jesus went back, and Sent the SPIRIT [Ghost} Jesus told it to come back because this is the FATHER'S Command, And The Spirit Had a Job to do too, Jesus said he has to come. The Spirit, if I do not go back He ain't coming and you need him. ok.
Now who I'm I, asking why, If he is three in one, he is three in one.. How would i know what a GOD is? Oh, if God explain it, i still won't know. Nor will you.
Turn the page.
Entities belongs to humans so does the word persons. When we are dealing with "GOD" it is way out of our league. GOD is not a creature he makes creatures, and Jesus is His Only Begotten SON and Jesus is not a Creation but GOD Created HIm A body. Now how did he do that. and Put Jesus in there. I do not know, and it is none my business.
NASB 1977
The LORD says to my Lord: “Sit at My right hand, Until I make Thine enemies a footstool for Thy feet.”
N
ow how. Not my business.
Acts 2:34
For David
is not ascended into the heavens: but he saith himself, The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,
King James Bible (GOD Said To HIS SON) Hebrews 1:8
But unto the Son
he saith, Thy throne, O God,
is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness
is the sceptre of thy kingdom.
And they are different and they are one. And it is no way we can think a finite creature or "Comprehend" with a Finite mind what a "Infinite" Incomprehensible Being " is. Concerning, They Are "3 in 1" And After we have been in "Eternity" for over A Trillion LIGHT YEARS with a Glorified Body and learning about GOD every moment it will be just like we just got there, and when we get there we will be one with them. And still learning about Our FATHER.
And Jesus prayed this prayer for us and not for the world:
Prayer for all Believers
"I am not asking on behalf of them alone, but also on behalf of those who will believe in Me through their message,
that all of them may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I am in You. May they also be in Us,
so that the world may believe that You sent Me...I have given them the glory You gave Me, so that they may be one as We are one—…"
[AND THAT MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS IN CHRIST, IS "INDICATIVE"]
Our suffering and denying ourselves is going to be worth every drop. And somehow "GOD" is Going to show the WORLD who we are. "Manifested in GLORY" Brighter than The STARS even Heaven it self. Heaven is not the glory of GOD we are.
Now that is The Love of GOD wrap up in what we term a "
Trinitarian' GOD.
