Jesus Christ is God as far as we are concerned, because no one comes to the Father but through his only begotten Son.
Some people think that the Father is a Man, God the Father is not a Man at all.
No one can fathom God the Father at all, but only in regards to Jesus Christ we can come to understand the truth about Man and our position with God and it's the Holy Spirit that trumps even Jesus Christ in the flesh. for it's not about Jesus in the flesh that we receive, you need the Holy Spirit to comprehend it all.
2000 years ago They seen Jesus in the flesh but that was not the point in fact. The Pharisees might of recognised it if they had eyes to see and ears to hear or they would of known who Jesus truly was, just like Nathaniel did, remember Nathaniel was a true Israelite according to Jesus Christ in fact, so the Disciples had faith in Jesus but they did not know him until they received the Holy Spirit. then the Lights of their Soul went on.
Jesus is the vine and you are the branches, he who abides in Jesus, Jesus abides in him ! That's how we bearth much fruit.
The Pharisees etc were not worthy of being Israelites in fact, as St Stephen pointed out in Acts as well, they had got off track.
A people who will not be ruled by God are destined to be ruled by Tyrants.
The Stain of Original Sin is a defect in one, without Grace in Jesus Christ you will not have the power to have a handle on such temptations.
Christ dwells in the intellect by faith, in the heart and affections by Charity in the Soul by Grace.
Abide in faith hope and charity, these three, but the greatest of these is charity. one needs all 3 or you don't have charity to start with.
Their is 3 ingredients if you will to make up one of charity, so to such is also of the Trinity as they are all part of one in the same. you can not take one out of the unity because they belong as one in the same, some what like a cake you could say, like this is a Banana Cake and that's a mud cake, they both have ingredients but you need the correct ingredients to make such, the bananas do not go into the mud cake now do they.
