You are the wasteful one challenging me if I’m violating the 2d commandment. Can’t handle the answer - don’t ask the question.

The creeds were developed in a language other than english (duh) so it is appropriate to utilize those key words within the context of the creed, for our understanding. This coming from one who probably can’t read borgboy’s origional language eh?

You really cannot admit the definition of "The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are not identical with one another nor separate from one another but simply three distinct persons (personae) of one substance (una substantia)" for persona(s) does not exist other than your own mind, can you?

All of Swedenborg's works translate concisely to English. The problem is persona does not exist in the context of the Trinity in Scripture. Better leave this one where the Catholics did -- "it's a mystery"
