With this model all the things are concurrent and equally important within the triune being. This jived with my idea that we were constructed in the image of god having spirit, soul, and body; although so do rocks, trees, bees, and bugs.
This would be deemed a heresy according to mainstream Trinitarian Christianity.
I don't now nor would I ever have given a shit! Back then my epistemology was shit and now I'm an atheist who would just as likely debate the fiscal choices of Leprechauns as discuss the triune nature of the universe, god/God, or the anus of Azathoth!
