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"

Reality doesn't exist in my mind dave.

bzzzzzzt wrong dave. there is no 1:1 translation ever. Only in your mind.

The problem is persona does not exist in the context of the Trinity in Scripture.
