Read carefully..I’m not anti- "Trinity"....................There
are many analogies and similitudes regarding the Trinity and I
think for the most part they are adequate. I will say, I
personally don’t like using the word coz it is not found anywhere
in scripture. Agreed. ... What is found in the scripture is a
vague concept. It is that vague concept that we call "the
trinity". But the text does not detail that concept nor does it
ever mention any term with intrinsic meaning to refer to that
vague concept except perhaps "us" and "One God". Agreed. This is
part of the problem. We invent words that could only get any valid
meaning from vague concepts found only from a source that does not
bother to divulge that information and yet we still insist on
assigning our invented words/ concepts with intrinsic, absolute
values. We ge so caught up in our adhoc words that we loose sight
of what we are given specifically. ...
