Strange dialog with a Trinitarian (L)

He went on to explain that God never changes and has always existed in this manner. Therefore, there are three distinct centers of consciousness. Each can technically be called a "person" with relation to distinction... yet they are also the same person with relation to being... because they are each the very same being revealed in three ways.

Thus according to Him... God is a single person... yet revealed in three distinct personas/persons that eternally emanate from His being in relation to time, space, and spirit.

Person in relation to GOD is not a biblical term.

Actually it is -

Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high; Heb 1:3

Of course, it speaks of Christ being the image of HIS person, and thus the term person (hypostasis) is used in the singular in regard to God, not the plural.

True. But I think you get the point.
