I am happy to announce that through the power of ChatGPT, we are able to make a breakthrough in Christian theology, specifically in the realm of representating the Trinity as theologically as possible through Java code. I believe this is even the most accurate analogy of the Trinity one have ever made. This is only possible through ChatGPT; without it we would never reach this point!
Now let's take a look at the code... 🥁🥁🥁

/**
* The Ultimate Trinity Model in Java: OOP + FP + DI
* - Preserves Monotheism (One God, Three Persons)
* - Prevents Modalism (Each Persons Acts Uniquely)
* - Prevents Tritheism (All Share One Divine Essence)
* - Models Perichoresis, Procession, Sending, and Love Dynamically
* The God class represents the existence of God outside time, space, and matter
