 Watch me soar way out of my element on this one, Chas, but couldn't "time"
 be considered a 4th dimension?

Charlie
Certainly.  It just follows different mathematical/physical rules from the
three spatial dimensions.

  You and I could agree to meet at a certain
 longitude, latitude, and altitude, but if we aren't at  the juncture of
 those three coordinates at the same time, will we meet? No.

Charlie
Correct.

 Personally speaking, I'm not sure how I got here.  I don't have a clue as to
 where I'm going.  Damn if I'm going to assume that I know where I am right
 now!

Join the club.  (Oh, yes, I guess you did, as did I.)

 If Xians wanted to prove a quaternity, rather than a trinity, they could do
 that just as easily, IMHO.  1 Samuel 16:14-15...."Now the Spirit of the Lord
 [I think this would have been the _Holy_ Spirit] departed from Saul, and an
 _evil_ spirit from the Lord tormented him.  And Saul's servants said to him,
 'Behold now, an _evil spirit from God_ is tormenting you'."

Yes, that sounds good: the father, the son, the holy spirit, and the evil
spirit.  Or, in line with my previous post, a duo: just the father and the
son, based on the Gospel of John, where Jesus is made an equal partner, but
taking all these spirits as mere angels sent by God but not part of God.
There's no limit as to what a clever exegete can do, which is why there are so
many Christian denominations.
