Trinity and Thomas Aquinas

Sometimes it's hard getting a straight answer from a Christian in his reply to the question of "What does the Trinity mean ?"

Asking ten different Chrtistians the same question will give you ten different
interprettations. Some deny that Jesus is God, or part of God, Others will say he
is God outright and the Son of God ....

This confusion is typical of a man made philosophy in this case of St. Paul (Saul)

Let us see from Thomas Aquinas' Summa Theologica Volume 1 in his metaphor of Jesus
and God.

[Paraphrasing from Memory] he brings a similitude in explaining the Trinity, of Wood and the same wood that is burnt.

"They are the different yet one is from the other in essence"
