The Wikipedia link led me to some interesting reading.
Amazing how many variations of the Trinity theme occur among Catholicism, Protestantism, Orthodox, Mormon, etc.

Yes, it is interesting reading that. I like it. But, it does have its limitations.
And then you said -- "Amazing how many variations of the Trinity theme occur among Catholicism, Protestantism, Orthodox, Mormon, etc."
Well..., considering that Mormons say that Jesus is the brother of Satan (i.e., the Devil) -- I don't think I would go down that track. Regardless of what any Mormon posters will want to say -- they have always been considered a "cult" (in the religious meaning of the word). They do *not* follow any semblance of historic Christianity and deny the basic doctrines therein. There is plenty of material on that, already -- so I won't duplicate it -- other than to state it. Go elsewhere to verify that the nature of Mormonism (i.e., the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints) is a "Christian Cult". I would not take my "doctrinal teachings" from the Mormons in order to learn what the historic (and present-day) Christian Church teaches (according to the Bible).
I would stay in the "general vicinity" of Evangelical Christianity for an accurate "reading" of what Historic Christianity says -- according to what the Bible itself says.
