TrinityModelApp

Purpose: Demonstrates, in object-oriented form, a classical Christian Trinitarian model as represented in the provided UML diagram.

Publication note: This is a pedagogical analogy. In classical Christian theology, God is not a composition of parts or objects. The model visualizes distinctions and relations without claiming to capture the divine mystery exhaustively.

  • Method Details

    • main

      public static void main(String[] args)
      Retrieves one shared DivineNature and the three singleton DivinePerson instances.

      The single shared DivineNature instance in this simulation expresses the claim "one divine nature, not three gods" (Deut 6:4; 1 Cor 8:6; CCC 253).

      The sequence of printed sections is intentionally catechetical: - unity of divine essence, - personal distinction, - eternal relations of origin, - closure of distinctions by relation (aitia closure), - temporal missions in salvation history.

      As a software demonstration, this method uses strings and booleans to represent doctrine-facing claims. It should be read as explanatory scaffolding, not as a claim that divine life is reducible to computation.

      Parameters:
      args - unused command-line arguments
