My idea of describing the persons of the Trinity as God-Persons doesn't really resolve the problem of the Trinity at all. Maybe it sidesteps the difficulties involved but it certainly doesn't make it possible for me to call myself an orthodox Trinitarian. The reason is that a God-Person is not God. A God-Person is not something that there is only one of, because clearly there are three God-Persons. Therefore, as there is only one God, a God-Person cannot be God (or rather, not all three of them can). So what is a God-Person, if not God? There are two possibilities; a God-Person is either a god (one of two or perhaps three) or someone who, while not actually being God, is divine. Neither of these possibilities would be acceptable to an orthodox Trinitarian as they believe that the Son and the Spirit are not merely divine and that neither are they a plurality of gods, but that each of them, along with the Father, is the one true God.
So, it seems there is really no change in my position at all. I'm still someone who believes that the one God is the Father and that the doctrine of the Trinity is not literally true. My view of the DOT is still a 'liberal' one (or, as I sometimes prefer to say, a radical Protestant one) and I'm okay with that!
