>Water can only be solid, liquid, or gas at a single time (which is modalist heresy)
Yeah, and nah.
Modalism is the common objection, but if we ignore THAT specific cup of water which we freeze or boil and talk about water in its entirety, it works much better.
This block of ice is not that cup or water, nor that room full of steam, but all three are still all parts of the total entity of water that I started with
To the objection that I am dividing and conquering God, the Trinity does that (the Father IS NOT the Son, but both are God || this cup of water IS NOT that block of ice, but both are H2O).
Nevertheless, as I said, NO analogy is going to perfectly capture the Trinity, much less its truth embodied in God.
