[Kolokotronis]

"This part of your sentence doesn't work. Can you restate it?"

How's this:

"Not at all. I assert that saying, without more, that the statement "The Son is the Father (or vice versa), is simply not true" displays an alarming lack of understanding of Trinitarian theology and which statement can otherwise be explained by holding a belief in tritheism. Given the Creed, is there another way to explain your denial?

Kolo, you are right. God is a monad, simple, that is uncompound, and indivisible. There can be no other gods; there can be no "parts" to God. We perceive the one and the same God in three Hypostases. Western attempts to reduce God to reason is rationalism, to 'understand' God by logic, or implying that God is 'logical,' or to divide Him into real 'persons' (like we are) is antropomorphism at best, pagan at worst.
