Speaking of the spiritual, does anyone here have a way to make the idea of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit intelligible, such as the role of the Holy Spirit and the 3 in 1 concept, or is it to be taken as an impenetrable mystery? Three-leaf cloverish analogies don't help, IMHO.
I don't particularly care to discuss whether it/they are believed to exist.
