Again to me these are the real mysteries of the Trinity. Not how one can be three or three can be one. The numbers game is not really that interesting and Edward's analogy shows, faintly anyway, how it can be.
What's really interesting is how God's love for himself (God loving God) gets expressed as love for another (the Father loving the Son). And how when the Son became human his love for the Father is perfectly compatible with humility and selflessness.
The Mystery is how what would be self-centered love in a fallen person, is in God selfless love. God's love for himself is selfless. Hey, that's why he's God and we're not.
It's all about selflessly loving the other, even when the other is yourself.

I'd like to see Bible verses that support Edwards' theory, of God loving himself, and the Son and Spirit playing a central role to accomplish it???
I also would like to see a psychological profile on such a theory?
This is dealing with my relationship with my God. And getting it wrong, or improperly depicting God, concerns me.
