1 | Jesus God/God God still unclear | Matt 1:23 | Reformer Joe | 4977 | ||
Thanks for the compliment on the explanation. We all must be careful, I contend, to present the truth without taking shortcuts that could lead to error. You spelled Arian right. :) The reason I do not use the analogies you gave is that like all anaologies, they fall short. Yes, the Bible does illustrate diversity in unity. The reason I think they do not apply to God is becuase while the church is indeed "one body with many members," The Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit are not "members" of God. They are each fully God. Same with marriage. My wife and I comprise a marriage, but I myself am not the marriage, nor is she. We may also be members of the same race, but the fullness of the human race does not dwell in me bodily. Therefore, that is why I am careful when using analogies to describe God. They will always break down when we consider His uniqueness. Thanks again for your comments! --Joe! |

Thanks, Joe I agree; all analogies break down. That's why I capitalized on your "resemblence" and underscored your "unique." Lionstrong |
