Subject: God the Son as a confession of faith |
Bible Note: Leslie N, I remember your post on the Westminster Confession. Do you understand the point I was making about how "God is Jesus" without further expalnation sounds to some ears? I know that grammatically it si the same as "Jesus is God" but nevertheless the pharasing stikes a different chord to many who hear it. People are used to hearing "Jesus is God" or "Jesu id the Son of God" as an assertion of the Divinity of Jesus. "God is Jesus" rightly or wrongly triggers a different reflex. Emmaus |
