I actually don't think it's a great idea to over-interpret the trinity. God certainly reflects all of Creation in his attributes, and we are in his image, but we don't know what that means precisely
For example, what is the connection between the clan of Terah and the Mitanni? Irrelevant to salvation, inadmissible in Christian dogma, but still a very interesting question

Likewise there are ethical questions which are touched on in the NT, but Jesus is the Christ, not a philosophy professor; trying to work out implications is part of ethics but not necessary to faith
-
No, but the quest for this knowledge should be a product of your Faith. Both a thirst for scripture and what lies beyond scripture should exist in the Heart of a Christian who has the gift of Understanding.
-
definitely. But gifts are as the talents; they impose responsibilities on the faithful but they are not themselves elements of faith
-
Everyone of the Church has different gifts to use to edify the whole church. Without those gifts one must question the presence of their faith much like one who claims Christ but does not exhibit the fruits of the spirit.

agreed
-
There are many who recite scripture yet have not one dram of Christian Charity in their hearts.
-
yes. but to all to whom God grants real and persevering faith, he ultimately grants hope and charity as well However he neither grants the ability to pierce theological mysteries (or any other extra-scriptural knowledge) to all fideles, nor grants faith to all metaphysicians
