Subject: Is God ONE or is God THREE? |
Bible Note: Hi Tim, CLARIFICATION: OK, I think I understand your use of “spirit.” Let me ask you to clarify this next term, Son. You write, “The Son is the body of God--the expression of the nature of God in human terms for the purpose of redemption and reconciliation. “ OK, first you say the son is the body. Then you seem to define the body as the expression of the nature of God. Do I have that right? If I’ve got it right, then I’m puzzled. You see, my understanding of a body is something with eyes, ears, nose; fingers and toes, that is, something physical. But you seem to be saying, no, that the body is the nature of God, that is, spiritual. So, is the Son the body God used, or is the son God’s nature (love, holiness, justice, etc.) or what? Some say Jesus was God in a body. Is this what you mean, God’s nature or spirit in a human body? I think it is, because later on you use the phrase “fleshly embodiment of the Father. I have other questions, but let’s keep it simple and tackle one question at a time. Peace, Lionstrong |
