Just one other question. If the Father, Son, & Holy Ghost are one person, why even have three named? Why not just God? Period. There seems to be no logical reason for the redundancy. If God came down, He came down. Why cloud the issue by naming another person? Why not simply say Father came down among man? Why not just say His Spirit rests upon the children of men, rather than introducing another name (Holy Ghost) into the equation?
I find absolutely no explanation for that in the scriptures. Could that be because there was a reason, & that reason being that they are indeed three distinct personages (as ratified by the joint council of Rimini-Seleucia)? Only traditions would overcome that logic IMHO.
Thanks for the friendly banter. It’s a fascinating subject to say the least.
Person is usually used by English speaking Christians in theological discourse as equivalent to the technical Greek work hypostasis. Father, Son and Holy Spirit are the three hypostases of the One God, they are named because this is how God revealed Himself, and for us in the East it is with that fact that we begin our contemplation of God.
