It seems Trinity theology always includes excessive inference. I have always wondered why "all in Asia turned away from Paul." Could it be something so ridiculous as this verse? Could his detractors have branded him a cult heretic for saying "Now the Lord is the Spirit?"
zeek said something interesting. He said that conceptualizing (by that I take him to mean "verbalizing") the Trinity always leads to implying some kind of heresy. Maybe that's why the NT never doctrinalizes the Trinity.
