0390 What is the doctrine of the Trinity?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Three Persons<\/em> are in One Household?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

0391 In order to appreciate this doctrine, I first re-present the basic interscope of the society tier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

0392 Consider the suprasovereign level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The normal context<\/em> is assume<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0393 The word \u201cassume\u201d has two referents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One, the common use of the term<\/em> is to<\/em> take for granted<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thomas Hobbes described Christian doctrine as a pill not to be chewed<\/em>.  It is to be swallowed whole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two, the technical and religious use of the term<\/em> means to take up into heaven<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, in Genesis, Enoch was taken into heaven.  In the Catholic tradition, Mary, the mother of Jesus, was assumed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0394 These two uses do not exclude one another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What does this imply?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are nuances to the word assume<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, there may be more than one model for a single suprasovereign religion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, these models cannot exclude one another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Or, can they?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0395 The actuality of a suprasovereign religion<\/em> is a relational object<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0396 Objectrelation<\/sup> emerges from and situates the potential of bringing all into relation<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0397 Now, let me present one Christian model for the society tier.  Remember, this is not the only model.  This is a doxological model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Look down the category of firstness.  The Trinity<\/em> is the One, True God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To me, that sounds like a line that could come from angelic voices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0398 The Trinity<\/em> manifests the all the elements of a suprasovereign religion<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Holy Spirit<\/em> brings the contiguity between the Father and the Son<\/em> into relation with the possibilities inherent in the unity of The One House of God<\/em>.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

0399 What is this contiguity between the hidden actuality of the Father<\/em> and the witnessed actuality of the Son<\/em>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The contiguity is Real, therefore to name it<\/em> reduces the contiguity to one of its facets<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0400 If the contiguity is begetting<\/em>, the names are Father<\/em> and Son<\/em>.  If the contiguity is speaking<\/em>, the names are The One Who Speaks<\/em> and The Spoken Word<\/em>.  If the contiguity is hand talk<\/em>, the names are The Gesturer<\/em> and The One Who Embodies the Gesture<\/em>.  If the contiguity is creation<\/em>, the names are The Creator<\/em> and The One Who Embodies Creation<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0401 The divine names<\/em> tell of a dyad of persons belong to secondness<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0402 The Holy Spirit<\/em> is the Person defining the Contiguity<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0403 The names of the contiguities<\/em> must be compatible with the Holy Spirit, else they are excluded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The names of the contiguities<\/em> virtually contextualize the divine values extolled by the angels<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0404 From the examples above, the angels sing praises to the divine potency, the divine voice, the divine gesture, and the divine creation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each lifts up one facet of the Contiguity between the Hidden and the Apparent Persons of God<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0405 On the situation level, the angelic officers<\/em> gaze up to God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The angels proclaim the divine attributes of God<\/em> in word and song.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each acclam<\/em>ation delivers a message<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0406 Christian doxologies<\/em> bear <\/em>witness <\/em>to God Entering Time Itself<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0407 In the realm of potential, angelic messages1b<\/sub> virtually situate righteousness1b<\/sub> for the human being, the creature belonging to the content level of this model of the society tier<\/em>.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Furthermore, angelic messages<\/em> are virtually contextualized by The One House of God<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0408 On the content level, the person hears sacred words and songs (the doxologies of the angels)<\/em> and looks up, through the angels, into the clouds of divine unknowing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0409 Within those clouds, the Holy Spirit<\/em> virtually excludes, from the One House of the God, those angelic officers who re-interpret divine values<\/em>.  They are cast into darkness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0410 Fallen angels bear false messages.  Humans can pick up these little gems.  The gems turn into the righteousness of gods who are neither one nor true<\/em>.  How captivating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then, humans situate these gems as organizational objectives.  The captivated humans paint over the One True God.  They may exploit some facet of the Contiguity between the Hidden and Apparent Persons of God<\/em>.  But, they fail to recognize the entire divine relation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0411 Is this how Jesus is King<\/em> became Henry VIII is King<\/em>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Was Henry VIII Jesus with a sword and bishop\u2019s staff, both weapons of sovereign power?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I love rhetorical questions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
