Fw: [TruthTalk] love and trinity THE HUMANITY OF CHRIST IS NOT DIVINE

[Lance Muir]

Judy, rightly IMO, has oft spoken of the disconnect that may take place between theologizing and godliness. Conversely, as illustrated in this post by Bill, a more thoroughgoing teaching, along with the apprehension, of the Trinitarian Nature of God ought to issue in that which Jt speaks of.

DAVEH responds:   Any room for individuals in that equation?..........The oneness of God is therefore........Father, Son,  Holy Spirit & Bill. Well, yes and no, DH. I am included in that circle of love in the way that Christ's humanity is included in that relationship. But as the humanity of Christ is not divine, neither am I divine. What I am is included in the humanity of the divine Christ and thus included in the eternal fellowship and community of the Son with the Father in the Holy Spirit. And because of the inseparable union of the person of Christ, his humanity with his divinity, I will forever be included in the loving union of the Trinity, the oneness of God.     Good question, though,   Bill  ----- Original Message ----- From: Dave Hansen To: TruthTalk@mail.innglory.org Sent: Thursday, January 12, 2006 10:41 PM Subject: Re: [TruthTalk] love and trinity .........Does that work in your theological paradigm? Taylor wrote: Moreover, John, if God is love and God is also a singularity, like many people think of "one" in the statement "God is one," then the greatest human _expression_ of that love would be narcissism: extreme self love; for that would be to exemplify the love of God. Instead, God is "one" -- and has been from eternity -- precisely because of the other-centered love which exists between the Father for the Son and the Son for the Father in the Holy Spirit. The oneness of God is therefore not a number nearly so much as it is a unity: the unifying love of God in koinonia -- Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.   Good insight, Dude, I mean Bish; you're on a roll.   Bill -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dave Hansen [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.langlitz.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If you wish to receive things I find interesting, I maintain six email lists...
