I don’t know if its the modern need to classify and explain or the post-modern need to dissect and understand but either way it seems as though we loose a sense of wonder and awe when we try to explain that which is unexplainable about God. The Trinity is not an egg, clover, H20, or even space (sorry Jack). Its the Trinity, confounding and anything but simple. This is not to say we should give up on Theology. That would be foolish. The process of mining out Scripture and seeking to understand God is part of what carries us into His mystery in the first place. However, I think its okay if we occasionally walk away just scratching our heads. Sometimes not understanding can lead us into deeper levels of worship then (supposed) understanding.
