“Review: Ontological vs. Economic Trinity”

“To be overly simplistic, we could say that the Ontological Trinity deals with what God is and the Economic Trinity deals with what God does (Matt Slick, CARM).”

Observe: All of what the word “God” implies is not exhausted in the use of the words “his Son”; all of what the name “Yeshua” implies is not exhausted in the term “the Father”; all of what the term “Ruach HaKodesh” implies is not exhausted in “the Man Yeshua” and so on and so forth. We cannot logically collapse each name, phrase, and title into the others without doing damage to the import of the Scriptural references. Indeed to attempt to do so is to approach the Scriptures from an incorrect mind set. Historically, the Hebraists thought of God in concepts of “this” and “that,” i.e., he can be two simultaneously seemingly contradictory concepts at the same time (case in point: he cannot be and has never been seen according to John 1:18; 1 John 4:12, and yet Moshe, Aharon, Nadav, Avihu, and 70 of the elders of Isra'el saw him in Exodus chapter 24). God is both “this” (seen) and “that” (unseen) at the same time. Conversely, the historic Greek mindset from which Western thought also developed, approached God in concepts of “this” or “that,” i.e., he cannot be two simultaneously seemingly contradictory concepts at the same time (case in point: Yeshua cannot be God because God is an eternal being, while Yeshua was a finite human). The tension created by affirming two seemingly contradictory concepts at the same time (a paradox) is referred to by some scholars as “Hebrew tension.”
