Paul, do we say then that the West {Greeks/Latins} got it wrong only in their term, such as Prosopon "Persons", but not in their concept, and teaching, such as their belief that there is only One God, One Eternal, not 3 Gods, 3 Eternals; as the Athanasian Creed makes very clear on the subject?
Because, it is truly anathema to Western Christian Apostolic churches or Protestant churches (excluding Mormons), to say that there is more than One God only, no matter the term they might use i. e. "Persons", which, though a flawed terminology, does not equate to there being said to be 3 individual eternal and divine Beings, but only ONE Eternal and Divine Being, who is GOD=The Father/The Word/The Holy Spirit...these being ONE, and not three which make up one. And The Son of God, God The Word was incarnate in the Person of The Messiah, who is at once God and Man, in one Son-ship. By which God has reconciled Himself with Mankind.
Some seem to think that The Roman Catholics and the Greek Orthodox Christians are polytheistic in their doctrine of the Godhead, whether they RCC/ORTH think so or not. I say it does not amount to that, but only that they have a bad way of explaining it, which can cause some to confuse it with polytheism.
