"The Holy Spirit is not the Father" "The Holy Spirit is not the Son" The Shield of the Trinity is not generally intended to be any kind of schematic diagram of the structure of God, but instead is merely a compact visual device from which the above statements, contained in or implied by the Athanasian Creed can be read off.
