How can different roles/tasks imply a differentiation among the hypostases?
Debate Information
Christians claim that the hypostases or persons of the Trinity are differentiated as a result of their different tasks/roles, but I ask how can a differentiation in occupation imply a differentiation in person?
Person A and Person B have two different and separate jobs, are they different in being or substance as a result of the differentiation of occupation? No, they are still the same in substance and person (human) and only differ regarding occupation. Roles, though don't have any tangible effect on our substanility or being, and thus I believe it is not logical to say that a differentiation in occupation somehow implies a differentiation of the whole person. If substance is what the person is, then in order for there to be a differentiation in the person the substance would have to be different, as this is the only tangible method of differentiating the persons. But clearly the persons only have one and the same substance, so from here arises a problem. I argue that this differentiation has no logical, or rational backing to it.
Although I'll have to admit I'm not sure as to what "person" means, and it needs to be defined. Is persons short for personality, meaning three distinct personalities? Or is person an actually person or part of the Trinity?
