If God’s nature and substance or essence if these things are the same are one what is personage? Does man and things have persons?

God has 3 persons and one nature.
Think of it as water. Water has [essentially] 3 states: solid (ice), liquid, and gas (vapor).
For mankind, each is like a container with all of the water existing in one state.
For God, He is like a container with all of the water existing in all 3 states at once.

Man’s personage is his own. That is the point of personage. It is a specific individual.What is man’s personage? Son or holy ghost?
Your person is different than my person which is different than so-and-so’s person, etc. In the same way, the person of God the Father is different than the person of God the Son or God the Holy Spirit.

In what way are God’s 3 persons different? Is essence and substance the same thing according to Aristolean metaphysics?Man’s personage is his own. That is the point of personage. It is a specific individual.

I don’t know about specific differences, at least in how the persons act, but they are distinct individuals, from what I understand. One thing to remember though is that the Trinity is considered a mystery, so we will not be able to fully comprehend it.In what way are God’s 3 persons different? Is essence and substance the same thing according to Aristolean metaphysics?
I would say that they are, at least of my understandings of the words. They both (to me) mean what something is, in actuality.

Jesus is the Son, so the personage would be that of the Son.Would this be his own unique personage or that of the son?
