Trinity?! much abstract category to which theologians and philosophers have consumed too many words.
Identified with the history of salvation that the people of Israel, of Jesus and the Christian Church would be enough to accept that they are part of the Father, Christ and the Holy Spirit. Their projection out of the story is pointless and leads to complicated philosophical elugubrazioni that do not serve the faith.
In the Gospel of John ( 16, 12-15 ) it seems that the evangelist attempts to found a theological doctrine of the Trinity, but it is incorrect to interpret the text without looking at what precedes and follows it. Extrapolating single sentences from a book because you can deduct anything!
interesting is the phrase attributed to Jesus: "I have much more to say to you ...". This statement suggests that all or did not say that not everything has been understood and open a parenthesis on the historical role of teachers. In ancient times it was unthinkable that a "wise" compose a well-structured compendium to be delivered to their disciples as study material. The teacher, rabbi in the Jewish world, rather than teach absolute truths that can describe all (objective of Hellenic culture), had the task of social "stimulate" their disciples. Even Jesus' mission was not to reveal "everything" but as a good rabbi, to awaken people: spiritually, intellectually and even physically as a healer.
These observations imply a Copernican revolution in the Catholic world as the evangelical mission should be to stimulate awareness and looking at issues as input to the gospel and not as the "container TRUTH '!
In this light seem incomprehensible words: "... the Spirit of truth, he will lead into all truth ... . But what truth?
fact, reading the greek text, the more correct translation would be: ".. he will , show the path to him (Jesus) . It seems an obvious
reflection on at least three points:
1) Rabbi Jesus does not say no 'TRUTH' philosophical / theological
2) Holy Spirit as a continuation of the mission of Jesus in salvation history
3) Awareness of the believer who has to ask and do not settle consists of a dogmatic belief formulette the catechism! Convenient is not it?
