\u00a0Let’s\u00a0try\u00a0this\u00a0again<\/em>.<\/font:><\/p>\n

Here’s a second application for my Latin Trinity chart<\/strong> (see the first post<\/a> for what the letters designate). Let’s say that a state of affairs is a thing\/substance having a property at a time or timelessly.<\/p>\n

The \u201cpersons\u201d here are just modes of D<\/strong>, that is, states of affairs involving D. So the Son just is D having Fi. And the Father just is D having P. And the Holy Spirit just is D having Sp. Regarding each of F, S, and H, each of them \u201cjust is\u201d D – in the sense that in each of them, there is one and the same D. Similarly, T \u201cjust is\u201d D – that is, it is just the state of affairs of D eternally having Fi, Sp, and P. How many things \/ substances are here? Just one – D. How many states of affairs? Three plus a fourth which is just the sum of the three (the Trinity). So of the Trinity, and of F, S, and, H – each of these (states of affairs) \u201cjust is God\u201d in that there\u2019s no other thing involved – only D. The persons are distinct (modes) and so not \u201cconfused\u201d. Again, there really is a threesome there – the threeness isn\u2019t an illusion, and isn\u2019t only relative to our thoughts or perceptions of D. D really is a constituent of – the only substantial constituent of – those states of affairs (F, S, H, T).<\/p>\n

Does this pass the tests of orthodoxy? Arguably, yes.<\/strong><\/p>\n
