"PS the comment on the threesome was supposed to be a joke - not as obvious as I had hoped"
I thought it was probably some wrye humour but used it as a segue.
Just for interest, I have no trinity axe to grind either, but my examination of the Biblical "evidence" indicates far less support for Jesus as a member of some sort of 3 in 1 co-equal but different, but the same ! triune Godhead, rather than what he consistently claimed to be ... the son of Father God, with all his power and authority emanating from that.
IMO the claim that somehow Jesus was both (part of ?) the Creator of the Universe and yet fully human is not a mystery but a nonsense.
It would be like you saying you are both you but also fully a single cell in your left kidney.
Apparently all your "indigenous" cells contain your unique DNE/genetic code, but that doesn't mean they are all equally "you". .. if you get what I mean.
