RE: [TruthTalk] The Schizophrenic God

[ShieldsFamily]

No I don’t find it easy to explain.  My best “explanation” is that the Father is like the star our sun, the Son is like the sunshine that we see lighting up the earth, and the Holy Spirit is like the warmth of the sun that we feel warming us.  They are all the sun.  They are all different. They all affect us differently.  We are finite—how do we explain the infinite? We are so limited; how do we explain the limitless? We are body, soul, and spirit--God is Father, Son, and Holy Spirit---too huge for us to completely understand, but Jesus made it possible for us to grasp the basic idea by giving us a relationship with the God that we could never otherwise begin to comprehend.  A good Teacher makes the most complex idea simple enough for his students to understand.  Izzy   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dave Hansen Sent: Saturday, November 27, 2004 1:06 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [TruthTalk] The Schizophrenic God   ShieldsFamily wrote: To perceive and comprehend the nature and significance of; grasp.

Izzy DAVEH:  Do you find it easy to explain, Izzy?  It seems to me that Christians don't have easy explanations, hence they label it as a paradox.
