That is obfuscation. It is crap.
Greek philosophers held a person was composed of body, mind, soul and spirit. The Greeks gods had bodies. The Christian god supposedly has none. Without a body there is only Mind, Soul and (holy) Spirit.
The "son" crap comes from imagining the gospel use of FATHER had a different meaning from the usage in the Our Father. In other words it is all a desperate attempt to hide the Greek origin of the three out of four idea.

The official spokesrats for the vast majority of Christians, the Vatican, does not teach the idea of that kind of hell. That kind of hell was invented by Dante.

Again - sorry - but the BIBLE is not a source of truth - so to claim that hell is real is equivalent to claiming that the earth is a flat circle - as the bible says

What gets me about that is no place in the bible does it claim to be a source of truth or even true. The closest thing to a claim of authenticity in all the books is found in the opening sentences of G. Luke where it claims to only be a collection along the lines of the Muslim Hadith.
