I wasn't meaning to say that was supporting Jesus as God. Because I believe that when God created Adam there was no Jesus (son of man) yet. There was 'the Father, the Word and the Holy Spirit. And all three of those 'aspects' of God were pure spirit. For scripture says, even after the resurrection..."
God is spirit".
There was a point in my married life where I so much believed scripture that I quit praying because I knew I wasn't honoring her, because she wasn't submitted to me. Hmmm how un-Christ-like was 'that' attitude.
FYI, I did repent....finally. Just got tired of '
kicking against the pricks'. I always say; "
You don't break the laws of God...they break you", and time is on His side.
I agree. I think when scripture said God took a 'rib' out of creational androgennous ADAM (mankind) they should have used the "side" definition of that word instead of just a physical bone definition. Because women definitely have more of the 'feeling' nature of God, whereas men are more of the 'thinking' aspect of God. I've often been with my wife, walking into a situation, and I'm sizing up every one based upon my rational thinking. She comes to me and says I think you need to go talk to that person something is wrong. I 'rationally' look at them and say I don't 'see' anything. But I listen to 'her feelings' go and find out this person is in a life crisis. Together we minister as the more reprersentative fullness of God.
We as humans try to use words meaningful to 'us' to try to explain, with '
Webster type words' that which is bigger than us I suppose. I certainly didn't mean to be implying anything more with my use of the Godhead. Your preferred definition still works for me in my commented use, I think.
I can't disagree here BuzzB. It simply represents the sometimes limitlessness of language, which we must use to the best of our ability...and hopefully beyond our ability, with the help of the Spirit of truth'....should we 'hear' a more 'divine' application.
