This is a pretty simple illustration of the logical problem at the core of mainstream orthodox Trinitarianism:

One response, of course, is to say “It’s a mystery.”

 

Fine.  But it remains logically incoherent.

 

Which is a bit of a problem.

 

“And this is life eternal,” declares Jesus himself in John 17:3, “that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.”

 

If, however, God is essentially unknowable — if the relationship between God the Father and the Son is both essential and logically incomprehensible — eternal life seems pretty much out of reach.  But that would seem to contradict a fundamental message of Christianity and the New Testament.
