Where the analogy stops
Our thoughts, words, and love can help introduce the terms, but human thoughts and feelings are not three divine persons. The Trinity is one divine nature in three truly distinct persons; the analogy cannot explain this mystery completely.
Discuss: In John 1, what helps you hold together the Word’s relation to God and the Word’s divinity? What would go wrong if “distinct” meant “separate gods”?
