So Trinitarians can treat the divine persons as non-parts within the Godgead. Yes, the persons are distinctions, but the Trinity is not (they say) a triplicity (i.e., a tripartite entity).Edgar Fosterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00280475259670777653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13958708.post-71851078018700286362014-12-24T22:04:11.091-08:002014-12-24T22:04:11.091-08:00Great post.

This does not solve the contradiction in the Athanasian Creed; it merely creates a new contradiction to distract from the first contradiction.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13958708.post-58106845238991290472014-04-08T13:18:33.507-07:002014-04-08T13:18:33.507-07:00Thank you, Melvin.
