I've read different stances coming from different Trinitarians on these two questions:
Thank you.
1) Are the persons of the Trinity separate and distinct or distinct only in the Godhead?
2) Does Jesus' full human nature have red blood or spirit? 2a) If you say spirit, how is that full human nature?Thank you.
Additional Details
Thank you for the replies thus far.
To repeat and clarify:
--I've read different stances coming from different Trinitarians only, not Trinitarians and Oneness believers.
--Jesus' full human nature now according to the Hypostatic Union doctrine. As Jesus is "100% man" now,[1] does he have red blood now? (It seems like he would have to in order to be fully or 100% man.)

Let me repeat question 1 using parentheses to make it clearer:
Let me repeat question 1 using parentheses to make it clearer:
1) Are the persons of the Trinity (separate and distinct) or (distinct only) in the Godhead?
(FTR I have not thumbed down replies.)
Trinitarian Dr. William Lane Craig said that the holy spirit is "separate and distinct" as a person.[2] But Trinitarian apologist Matt Slick says the three persons of the Trinity "are three distinct persons."[3]

Unfortunately, none of the Trinitarians who responded were able to resolve my two questions, nor were any able to edit their replies in accords with my additional details. So, I was left with little choice but to choose this as "BA". [Click on link below to see the "Best Answer."]
