1 | I would like to reply to Timothy Paul. | John 1:1 | MrsBinGA | 53474 | ||
Timothy Paul, if Jesus and the Father are the same person, then what do you do with Rev. 4:2-5:12? Chapter 4 describes the One Who is sitting on the throne. Then chapter 5:6-7 states: "And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth. And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne." Who is the "Lamb" who comes and takes the scroll out of the hand of Him who sits on the throne? Jesus! But if Jesus and the Father are the same person, then Who is sitting on the throne? Does Jesus sit on the throne and then come and take the scroll out of His own hand? Even though our finite minds cannot possibily comprehend, much less explain, the Triune Godhead, the Bible clearly reveals it. Be blessed, MrsB |

Bless You,MrsB. You've hit the nail on the head when you said our finite minds cannot comprehend. Our feeble minds are so made that there is a need to quantify everything in order to comprehend it. We measure distance in inches, and miles, and in order to measure space, we use light years. This is why we cannot understand God as omnipresent. He is immeasurable and hard to contain in our limited brain. A concept such as three seperate entities being the same one create a short circuit in our logic process. Human knowledge is faulty, therefore misleading, and potentially dangerous. This is why it is hard not to question the attributes of the Trinity and exactly why we should refrain from doing so. We have a tendency to take things out of context and distort the meaning behind the message. This is where we are to become "overcomers!" Let me take you to Rev 3:21 where we are told,"He that overcometh, I will give to him to sit down with me in my throne, as I also overcame, and sat down with my Father in his throne." What we can understand from this is that Christ was bothered by the faults of the flesh, yet He overcame them and became more than a conqueror. So if we conform to Christ in His struggles, then He will conform us to Him in His glory and we shall be with Him in His throne; His throne of judgment at the end of the world, His throne of glory to all eternity. Faithfully, Tim |
