1 | Does "Christ and God" differintiate them | Eph 5:5 | MTJimbo | 238107 | ||
"The Kingdom of Christ and God," seems to distinguish between Christ and God. Why did the translators choose "and" instead of "even"? Numerous passages, both OT and NT, either state or imply common identity between Christ and God. I don't presume to know the exact nature of that commonality, but the weight of evidence makes it fairly certain. If any knowledgeable Bible scholars have reliable information on this issue, please reply. | ||||||
2 | Does "Christ and God" differintiate them | Eph 5:5 | EdB | 238113 | ||
The reason of the common identity between God and Christ is because they are part of the Trinity three in one. The doctrine of the Trinity defines God as three divine persons or hypostases: the Father, the Son (Jesus), and the Holy Spirit; "one God in three persons". The three persons are distinct, yet are one "substance, essence or nature". A nature is what one is, while a person is who one is. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trinity |
