What do you mean by "Trinity"?

[Geralt]

 

[Paul Yohannan]

The persons of the Trinity are not separated or divided. No orthodox theologian of the early or medieval church claimed that. Distinction is not the same as separation.

The east certainly doesn't think of the Trinity as a monad. I'm less well versed in western Trinitarianism.

I don't know of any non-Sabellian who would refard the Trinity as a monad.

 

[Paul Yohannan]

I think we largely agree, though I think mainstream theology, at least in the West, managed to avoid tritheism. At least if you think of things in their terms. I think Augustine's vision of the Trinity manages to have a distinction without tritheism.

Tritheism was a tiny niche on the fringe of the Coptic church. IIrC John Philoponus was of that school.
