An informative article in the Catholic Register: ”For, Jesus is not a human person; he is a Divine Person who has taken himself a human nature. … the fact that the individual Person of Jesus is a Divine and not a human person.” https://www.ncregister.com/blog/is-jesus-a-human-person That’s...

From my X / Twitter “For you” feed this afternoon: ”7 Ecumenical Councils (+ the heresies they fought)” https://x.com/catholicpat/status/1880697723495788708?s=61 That’s helpful. I would point out to readers that Jewish monotheism isn’t on the list. That’s significant. Remember also that...

I meet a lot of trinitarians these days who tell me that it isn’t a salvation issue, even in the face of trinitarian teaching and creeds asserting that it is. That interests me. *** ”The Trinity is the basis of the gospel, and the gospel is a declaration of the Trinity in action … Those who...

I would say “yes” but, since there was no reader response, I’ll say “probably“ instead. Yes.

Would physical appearance then be another way angels (at least some of whom have the ability to look like human beings) were created in the image of God?

Would you say being created in the image of God has any connection with physical appearance?

* The duck on the left must be the designated driver. *

* A true catitarian. *

* I don’t want to talk out of school but I’m not convinced Mr. Snuggles actually read the book. *

* I’ve been up to my waist in a swamp, sunburned, covered in mosquito bites, while fending off a water moccasin - I’ve tangled with copperheads (and rattlesnakes) too, though never in a swamp - but absolutely not with a flip flop! (“Get me out of here, Percy!”) I’ll deal with winter weather over...

“Face to face” has to be an idiom. No mortal man can see God’s face and live (Exodus 33:20). I think you’re making a fair point. So is it fair to say that Moses himself isn’t a trinitarian?

The Bible focuses on God and man. Angels are important figures in the story, but God’s concern in scripture revolves are the creation of man, not the creation of angels. On the one hand, the Bible doesn’t say anywhere that angels are created in God’s image. On the other hand, the Bible doesn’t...

The trinitarian commentary in NET goes on to speak about other suggestions, including the one which I (a Jewish monotheist / primitive Christian) embrace. “ … in Isaiah 6:8 the LORD speaks on behalf of his heavenly court. In its ancient Israelite context the plural is most naturally understood...

Trinitarian commentary on Genesis 1:26 in the NET. “The plural form of the verb has been the subject of much discussion through the years, and not surprisingly several suggestions have been put forward. Many Christian theologians interpret it as an early hint of plurality within the Godhead...

“Who is God talking to here [Genesis 1:26]? Who is the us and the our? What else is in the likeness of God? The standard Christian answer is that this ‘us’ is referring to the Trinity - that God is talking to Himself. He looks to Jesus and the Holy Spirit and the three of them decide to go...

That’s right. You aren’t alone in that position; you’re in the majority. Solid ground. The ability to create is a way that mankind is created in the likeness of God. It may be a way that we are created in God’s image that the angels aren’t. The first thought that came to mind is fallen...
