“Colors” (plural) is analogous to the anti-Biblical notion of more than one God.
"Color
s" (plural) is analogous to more than one
hypostasis. Not more than one God.
No matter how you try to explain it through complexity, 3 is not 1 and one is not 3 AND this is not in Scripture
3 is not 1 and 1 is not 3, I agree. But three things can form a relation to produce a single thing, as primary colors and as musical notes and as sides of a pyramid.
And I agree that the Trinity is not in Scripture. You won’t find me underscoring supposed proof-texts, because I’m convinced that none truly qualify as “proof.” From the standpoint of
word meaning, Scripture is maddeningly equivocal. Arguments over Hebrew words ending in “-
im” as establishing plurality; over how
kurios or
adonai are to be interpreted as a referent; over proper rendering of phrases like
theos en ho logos from a language with no indefinite article and which uses case rather than word order to convey meaning – all of these arguments are, in my view, ultimately unpersuasive, and while each of these have their standard bearers, it’s obvious that nothing will ever be decided in this way. Even where
word meaning is clear,
intention of the author often is not; we sometimes need to pay mind to the historical context, the intended audience and the purpose of writing in order to distill that intention. So I don't find Scripture as either proving or disproving the Trinitarian position.
