Do you have Divine Sovereignty and Human Responsibility neatly wrapped up in your thinking? That God predestines everything and that man is still responsible but God is not the author of sin (refer to the WCF for the longer version). I confess I don't fully understand all the ins and outs of it but I know it is Scriptural. Many things need to be accepted on our knees and I hope I'm not going to be labeled a Van Tillian irrationalist for saying that. We should strive to understand all revealed doctrines to the best of our human capacity. Regarding the trinity or the hypostatic union, tough doctrines that require a lot of effort. They are also where the majority of all heresies have sprung up due to man's rationalism.
