[QUOTE="tampasteve, post: 77667991, member: 398316"] I mean, sometimes I suppose. Oppositely one could word that as "Just because I can't understand it does not mean that it is not true." Personally I can't understand a lot of physics or higher level math - it just is not something that my brain is able to wrap around, but that does not make the things taught in those subjects untrue. The reality is that the Trinity is [I]hard[/I], and the explanations created for it are going to contain "Christian jargon" because a lot of that "jargon" was created and defined in order to try and explain the more complex parts of the faith in an exact way. One can really get into it and investigate what the definitions and explanations are for the words that are used to explain things like the Trinity mean, and that may be what you need to do. The Early Church Fathers went to great lengths to accurately and correctly define these doctrines and dogmas. A lot of the deep explanations just can't be distilled down to a lower level. Honestly, I feel you are asking for something that is nearly impossible to give. [/QUOTE]
