This is what Christians mean with the holy Trinity, right. Right?

Too static a concept

What?

alankoeneke.bsky.social•96 days ago

Barth rejected the concept of the unmoved mover, believing it didn’t capture the dynamism of the Trinity

Well it's definitely very monistic, but it shouldn't be interpreted as static; the changeless motion of intellect is life, not the absence thereof.
One could say that God qua consciousness thinks himself qua being, and that this erotic movement of intellect is God qua life. Father, Son, Spirit.

Ofc one is free to reject the Platonic and Aristotelian metaphysical presuppositions behind this

It is static if you compare it to a tripersonal perichoresis concept of the Trinity, with three centers of consciousness etc.
