Best explanation from any videos I have seen on Trinitg

I'm happy this was helpful!

I have one major problem with this video; it is extremely problematic to call the Holy Spirit the essence of God, since the words nature and essence are often used interchangeably within philosophy and theology. We can speak of the divine nature (essence) and the divine persons (98% sure it is a synonym with hypostases), however each person has full possession of the divine nature (essence). Additionally each person is consubstantial or of the same substance (essence/nature). Therefore calling the Holy Spirit the essence of God can make the Holy Spirit seem more God than the other two persons, and imply some interesting heresies.
Additionally there are some more minor problems, however, these are only really a result of trying to explain the trinity simply and are largely irrelevant to the video. Overall pretty good video.

It does get a little tricky with the words essence and nature. It's difficult to describe the Trinity sometimes because of language and implications. The video I made before this one goes into that exact problem.
However as a means to introduce someone who has never been introduced to these concepts before I think Essence fine to use to get them to just grasp something. As long as it's thoroughly explained after.
In any case I make sure to be clear that all are co-equal and in perfect harmony.
