LOL. Judy, this very reason for why you do not agree with Torrance is, well, exactly Torrance's point. In other words, you should be agreeing with him if you really understand what he is saying. When religious people insist upon certain words and symbols, they become in bondage to a religious spirit. In other words, when you showed yourself ready to drop the word "symphony" in talking about the Godhead because there was resistance to it, you were following Torrance's point here. You are more interested in the spiritual reality than in the words you use to try and communicate that reality. In contrast, when others get upset with you for not liking their word "perichoresis" and they refuse to drop that terminology to communicate the spiritual reality that they see, they are not following Torrance's point. Peace be with you. David Miller. ---------- "Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer every man."
