In regard to analogies, I offer the following, written by a trinitarian, for consideration by trinitarians and non-trinitarians. “Don’t use them. Any of them. Ever.” https://credohouse.org/blog/the-trinity-is-like-3-in-1-shampoo-and-other-stupid-statements When I was a college student my...

Thank you. I appreciate your kind words.

And dogs. Once we‘re able to agree on that then the analogy with God begetting God doesn’t hold. Thanks. In Jewish monotheism, the only begotten Son of God is how Jesus began to exist in the womb of his mother. Earlier this evening I posted the comment that what we see in Matthew’s Gospel...

Begetting is an act of creating. When a human begets a human, the human population increases by one human. A human which didn’t previously exist is brought into existence. Wouldn’t you agree with that? When a dog begets a dog, the canine population increases by one dog. A dog which didn’t...

I see this proposed from time to time: God begets God. In fact, I saw it proposed on the forum this evening in a forum I’m not able to post in. The analogy used was this: Human begets human. (Would anyone disagree with that? I don’t.) Dog begets dog. (Would anyone disagree with that? I don’t.)...

God himself is immortal and cannot die. Are you saying that Jesus, the Son of God, is the embodiment of the character of God?

From my X / Twitter “For you” feed today: “‘The book of the genesis …’ Matt 1:1 The birth of Jesus is a new Genesis, a new creation …” https://x.com/mike_reeves/status/1867173554208543184?s=61 That much Professor Reeves and I can agree on.

* That’s fair. But the “Good Book” - which neither of my parents cared much about - my grandparents read to me and put in my hands is the event in my life. *

What precisely do you mean by “personification”? I want to make sure I’m understanding you correctly. Elaborating on it will help me to do that. How would you relate it to a passage like Isaiah 42:8? “I am Yahweh; that is My name; I will not give My glory to another, Nor My praise to graven...

Concerning God’s glory: Do you think he shares it with human beings? Has he given his own glory to the Messiah’s disciples?

“Some people might think that the oldest prayer to the Blessed Virgin Mary would be the hail Mary, but it’s not; the Sub Tuum Praesidium is an ancient Marian prayer of the early Church, the oldest known prayer to Our Lady. The oldest version of this prayer is in Greek on an Egyptian papyrus...

”The oldest KNOWN prayer to Mary is called the ‘Sub Tuum Prasidium’, found in Egypt on a papyrus fragment & dating to the mid-200’s.” https://x.com/mrcasey62/status/1866110006028108283?s=61 I haven’t verified whether what the Catholic said is true or not, but I’ll take it at face value for now...

* Historical footnote. It was also the last year for the team of reindeer who didn’t speak up and caution him. *

* Note to self. Things to think twice about before purchasing on eBay: homing pigeons and boomerangs. *

* I’m old school. A vinyl record would look fantastic to me. *

* Hmm. Looks a little bit like a periscope. Gonna be hard to sneak up on him from behind, mom. His challenge will be to remember that objects in the mirror - you? - may be closer than they appear to be. *
