Sunday 4 June 2023 (’08) : THE MOST HOLY TRINITY : A
1. EXOD34:4-6, 8-9!
The/Lord! Properly named YAHWEH! Presented as masculine in biblical narratives! TheOne-of-Tenderness&Compassion! But usually depicted by ELOHIM’S Scribes as moody&irrational : to give the impression that ELOHIM is the more attractive…
2. DAN3:52-56!
Isn’t it safer to ‘Bless-YAHWEH’S-Name’, than to untangle Him from the machinations of TheTemple scribes, &thereafter proceed to Incarnate-HisCompassion-for-All…?
3. 2COR13:11-13!
Apart from ‘TheHolyKiss’, I can imagine these phrases falling like a shower of confetti!
But aren’t they also a huge challenge to my local church, ‘What really enthuses us?’…
4. JN3:16-18!
Can I credit that this cut&dried declaration is really ‘Words-of-Jesus’? One way or another, ‘Belief-in-TheSon’ seems central! That is, ‘Base-YourTotal-Life-in-TheChrist’!
RIDDLE!
What relevance has ‘TheTrinity’ for this 21stCentury?
‘Well, it’s still the infallible doctrine of TheChurch!’
‘Isn’t it used in all TheSacraments?’
‘It’s a hint of the loving intimacy called-for in the local church!’
‘It’s a compromise exposition of TheThreeAncientBiblicalDivinities,
Elohim, Yahweh, &Chokmah!’
