nice Niceaen tie-in!

I've always been puzzled by why they thought that mattered so much.
Not quite enough to read up on it, but puzzled.
I mean, you're positing a tripartite Godhead, right?
What practical implications does that have? What religious implications, even?

I mean, you've already discarded empirical artihmetic - 3 equal to one?
So by saying that they are the same substance, are you discarding the
same/different distinction as well?

Personally I don't mind strong assertions that there must be some
truth higher than science.  But if you discard the scientific method,
how to judge between the non-scientific assertions becomes
problematic, doesn't it?

leading me to wonder if it wasn't simply a turf dispute...

And for a religion founded on God being love, for the Church to
undergo a schism based on these non-checkable distinctions seems
contradictory to the spirit of the larger endeavour...
