I don't know where to ask these questions, but I do know that the people in this reformed area are the ones from who I want responses.
Some of you guys have really given me a lot to chew on.
I've never read this anywhere, so I might be way out on a limb here.
I think that I may have made some observations that seem, to me, to be very obvious.
It's been a couple of years now and so far they stand.
Perhaps someone can show me where I'm wrong.
It seems to me that the only time there is ever a distinction made between God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit is when God acts. In His essence, God is one. There is one God, but when God acts the intent is attributed to God the Father the affect is attributed to God the Holy Spirit and the effect is attributed to God the Son.
I was left to believe some years ago that an act is triune in nature; having intent, affect and effect.
The distinctions made between the Father, Spirit and Son seem to fall consistently along those lines.
The quintessential act is speach, it embodies intent (purpose), affect(breath) and effect (word). But what does one know of another's intent of affect? All one knows is the word. That is the contact, the only contact.
Could one say that Jesus is effectively God, the Holy Spirit is affectively God
and the Father is for all intents and purposes God?
My words are the effect of the affect of the intent of me.
Could one say that Jesus is the effect of the affect of the intent of God, the fullness of God bodily?
I'm not so much for using the bible as a positive check. I'm more apt to use it as a negitive check. And so far, it stands. I'm no bible scholar, I'm just a bible reader. I have been for many years, so all I have is a daily familiarity, not unlike a marriage.
I like to hear from some of you guys.
Perhaps someone could show me where God acts in a different economy.
