the Nicene fathers. Get it? They are the ones who invented the word "person" to express what their language could not otherwise say about the Godhead and Jesus Christ.
Sorry judyt for cutting in BUT is Bill saying that after the Nicene Fathers, there is no possibility for similar but "original" thinking on the same subject? Everytime I use the word"person" the Nicene Fathers get the credit? ! I think it is possible that they and she arrived at the same conclusion because they have the same God or the same experience with God. Just a thought. That is not to say that their (the Nicene fathers) knowledge and use of the word did not have a trickle down effect. That is possible. But that possibility does not negate what I just said, however.
