"Bring me a worm that can comprehend a man, and then I will show you a man that can comprehend the Triune God" John Wesley
David Hubel, Harvard Nobel Laureate and one of the greatest nueroscientists to live, died last week. Hubel made seminal contributions to the understanding of how the eye and brain talk, and how vision is processed. Hubel basically helped unravel complex networks. Nothing is more complex than the Trinity, however.
Hubel was a Universalist. Univeralists worship God with a different understanding than traditional, Nicene Creed Christians. Perhaps nothing has separated Christian thought (and Christian and Muslim thought) than what the Oneness of God means.
If Trinitarian Theology is incorrect (and it is, largely, I fear -- but The essence I believe to be very true) there is at least one enormous problem, that I see, with this sort of theology.
This would mean God created before He loved, better, had an object of love. If God is Love, as Christians claim, this to me is difficult to think through. If human purpose is relationship, this also is conflicting, and I believe to be, a grossly deficient understanding of God.
Only the One, Triune Creator can account for what we perceive as the purpose of mankind - loving relationship, with Creator and fellow created.
