Plato and the Trinity

So I've been reading about Plato's Forms and though I do not quite understand them fully (or even somewhat) I did have an idea that I thought might be fun to play with. Could the Trinity be explained in terms of Plato's forms? That is, can God be described as one Essence in three Forms? I'm not sure if the definition of Forms and Essences lends itself to this idea...so if anyone with a more through knowledge of Plato would like to explain why this doesn't work (because I have not heard anyone say that before...and it would seem that an idea like this would have been thought of already...so i have my doubts about how well this works). But if nothing else, this can at least kick off a discussion on the Trinity. :)

For Starters

I must give apt thanks and honor to my dear roommate for helping me to discover the wonderful URL address that has become the home of my new blog.

Now to switch back into normal voice....Welcome to "Where's the Fourth". This is going to be a blog where I post my ideas and thoughts, stories and ponderings. Everyone is welcome to discuss these ideas and stories, in fact, I would love to hear what you all have to say. Also, just feel free to read and think. If I can cause you to consider something new, then this blog has accomplished it's purpose. Not everything that I write on this blog is going to be correct...I can promise you that I will make mistakes. Sometimes I may even be arguing for a belief opposite my own for the sake of trying to understand it better (but i will warn you when this is the case...i promise i'm not going crazy here!).

So updates on how I'm doing will still be on Joshua 1:9 - Where's the Fourth is mainly to keep the clutter off J 1:9 and give me a place to write out what I'm thinking. Hope you enjoy and looking forward to any conversations that might start up.
