Father - Authority
Son - Duty
Spirit - Wisdom

The “trinitarian metaphysic” just treats hebrew poetry as if it’s neoplatonic “rational theology” & makes this relation impossible to understand — “duty authority and wisdom have the same substance” what the fuck does that even mean

It’s rather that Jesus the Son represents Duty, the Father represents Authority, & the Spirit represents Wisdom. You must “be like the Son” in being dutiful to both Authority & Wisdom, Wisdom also proceeds from this display of Duty, Wisdom is our Comforter when oppressed etc

Trinitarian Metaphysics is just an abstract argument over taking poetry to be the same genre as greek philosophy— Arius says “Duty is definitionally subservient to Authority” — & this was a heresy?

“All three are Good— err all three are GOD” this is the sort of nonsense debate that occurred, no one not even Arius denied that all three compenents of “The Good” were Good, just that they are not the same thing, & that they had a hierarchical relation

IE: Duty is defined by its relation to Authority— the Good Son is dutiful to a GOOD FATHER not just to “any authority” but to GODS authority.

Wisdom *is produced by Authority* — Wisdom the Spirit of God is with God the Father of Authority in the beginning, & the Good Son ie the Word is dutiful to both God’s Authority & God’s Wisdom etc

It rests upon whether or not “Duty” is created ie: Christ being “co eternal” rather than temporal

Arius said “Duty is created it is not eternal”

All that the trinitarians ended up doing was conflating Jesus the Son with God the Father as the same person— which makes no sense

Jesus is saying in John 10:30 and elsewhere that “the authority of god is manifest in his most dutiful son”

The Duty of God is also Liberty, because God the Author is Free, so the ironical “duty of the Son” is to Free the children of God from the false authority of the Accuser who sits in the temples of God, the “God of this World”— the “false authorities”

This all makes sense when one is conceiving of these terms poetically, as “inspired poetry” & not as neo-platonic philosophical categorization & “flow charts”— it’s paradoxical, that’s the point

That is why the “mystery” of God’s Wisdom is more like a koan or a “riddle” than it is the “mystery of lawlessness” which is the “mystery” of accepting false authority as divine.

The pharisees of this world love their “mysteries of false authority”— that’s why they make contracts & creeds even though the Scripture states that one should never make OATHS like this. Matthew 5:34 I tell you, do not swear an oath at all:

Yes or No

Do you agree?
