In theology class in high schhol, one of my brothers asked, When the Son was on earth and the Father was in Heaven, where was the spirit if they are supposed to be one?

The teacher's jaw dropped.

Was the teacher an idiot? Did he answer this sophmorism? Did he believe in the imminence and transcendence of God?

I'm not sure. It was a Jesuit high school.

I went to an all-girls HS and these sorts of topics were never addressed. OTOH, I learned a lot of useless things, like memorizing the books of the bible in order. We didn't read that much of the Old Testament, but we knew the books in order.
