[QUOTE="ViaCrucis, post: 77629496, member: 293637"] The best I'd expect any AI to be able to offer is, literally, just regurgitate articles on subjects like that. The Christian doctrine of the Trinity is considered a mystery. But the word "mystery", as used in a Christian context, means something somewhat specific. The Greek word mysterion ("mystery") carries the idea of something that can only be known through revelation. So, for example, things like Baptism and Holy Communion are called "Mysteries". Someone getting wet is just someone getting wet, but in traditional Christian theology the Mystery and Sacrament of Holy Baptism is a lot more than just getting wet, it is a divine act of God by which a person is born again and becomes a new person in and through the Person, work, the death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. That Baptism is something more than just getting wet, that there is something about it which is revealed or made known (in this case, by the words of Jesus and the Apostles as contained in the New Testament), is why it is called a mystery. So the Holy Trinity is called a Mystery, not because it can't be, on some level, explained (there is a very clear explanation and definition that has been accepted since antiquity in Christianity), but because knowledge of God as Trinity would be unknowable apart from it being revealed; if we didn't have Jesus who identifies and speaks of Himself as the Son, and speaks of God as His Father, and so forth--without that, we wouldn't know God as Trinity. That is why it is called a Mystery in Christianity. I wouldn't trust AI to tell me how to change a tire, let alone explain complex issues of religious dogma. -CryptoLutheran [/QUOTE]
