Can't you ever post a synopsis along with these links?
I think very few here actually click on these links.
This is a discussion forum, not show & tell.

But I do not think the symbol that they showed in the beginning which supposed to sum up someone's pictural diagram of the trinity, was that good. I have seen that symbol before.
The symbol of course does not occur in the Bible.
I would not therefore rely on it to express some ...[text shortened]... ure oracles of God in their statements are much more important that the graphic designer's logo.

Originally posted by RJHindsThankyou. I looked it up and found about 11 variations of that diagram.

Thankyou. I looked it up and found about 11 variations of that diagram.
My concern would be this:
Which has a higher priority, the graphic designer's logo or the Scripture's words ?
I think the Scripture's words have a higher level of importance. How so?
Well in the logo I saw a branch that was to be read as "The Father IS NOT the Holy Spir ...[text shortened]... the Trinity" somewhat inadequate because it means to say that the Father is not the Holy Spirit.
Originally posted by RJHinds“Certainly the Father is not identical to the Son and the Son is not identical to the Father, but the Three of the Trinity are never separate from each other. Thus, the Son given to us not only is the Mighty God, but also can be called the Eternal Father, because the Father is in Him and with Him at all times. In His eternal identity God is distinctly three, but in His economic and salvific action He works as one, and the Son given can be called the Father, who works in His works.”

The Father is NOT the Son
The Father is NOT the Holy Spirit
The Son is NOT the Father
The Son is NOT the Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit is NOT the Father
The Holy Spirit is NOT the Son
The Father is God
The Son is God
The Holy Spirit is God
These Three are in unity
