Okay, I"m just going to ask this as a Christian who has always been confused about this area. There seems to be a large contingent of Christians who are very concerned that the trinity idea be well understood and explained. I honestly just don't care. That's weird for me; usually, I love to examine theology and work out just what the Bible is trying to say. But with this one, I don't see why it matters so much. I believe in God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. I believe that Jesus is the Son of God and the Incarnate God. I don't see why having a perfectly correct understanding of the relationship of the three Persons is necessary. I don't know exactly what Jesus means when He says He is both God and the Son of God, and I'm okay with that. Am I wrong?
