81 | Trinity | NT general Archive 1 | greentwiga | 140597 | ||
I have heard some good analogies. If I were an ant, how could I explain to another ant what it meant to be a human. How can you or I comprehend what God is like. So much seems contridictory. 1 Cor 2:10-16. Think of God like a tree. The Father is the roots. Jesus is the trunk, the only visible part. The spirit is like the sap, coming from the father, through the son to the branches which are us. When we are attached to Jesus, the spirit causes us to bear much fruit. John 15, Rom 11. Yet, how can they be three distinct personalities? They are, and yet one. Greentwiga |

82 | Jeus birth | Bible general Archive 2 | greentwiga | 140299 | ||
We have gotten so much of Jesus birth wrong. He was born in 6BC. (census) He was born in spring/summer (shephards with the flock at night not in late fall/winter) There are no animals mentioned in the stable. (cleaned out to rent?) The wise men (does not say three) visited Jesus when he was 1 year old (in a house, not the stable, Herod ascertained the age) Never-the-less, it is a great time to celebrate when Jesus came to earth to die on the cross. The date does not matter. | ||||||

How can one even explain string theory in the Cosmos completely. If that gives us problems, how about the far more difficult concept of God? Instead God gives us Parables to understand. Look at John 15. Look at Rom 11:17-21. I have a parable from these. Roots, and olive trunk and sap look totally unlike each other. All three separate, yet one. God is the roots, the source of All. Jesus is the trunk, the only visible part to which we are all connected. only through staying connected to Jesus can we receive the nourishing sap, the Holy Spirit. This is not complete, because God is also the tree keeper who prunes branches. Still, the illustration is there in scripture to help us understand three yet one. There is no place in scripture that "trinity" is mentioned, but John 15 calls the Holy Spirit He. Greentwiga |

84 | How could Rahab be mother of Boaz? | Num 6:23 | greentwiga | 140293 | ||
It is worse than you think. Amminadab was the father-in-law to Aaron and father to Nashon, who was the head of the tribe of Judah during the 40 years of wandering, and so died in the desert. There is at least 400 years covered by Salmon, Boaz, and Obed. This is an example of telescoping geneologies. This was standard practice at the time. Father in this context meant ancestor (through the male line.) They kept more complete lines elsewhere, and only used the shorthand here. Later, the Jews lost parts of the longhand accounts.
