Sells, selling the sun with no sunspots, in the land of perpetual doubters, to the sceptic association of OLO.

Good luck with that one!

Sells,

An interesting piece. Still, can’t one read your

“The Son, as we discover Him in the history of the nation Israel and in Jesus of Nazareth, is the narrow gate through which God (of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob) is revealed to us”

also as

“The Son, as we discover Him in the history of the nation Israel and in Jesus of Nazareth, is the narrow gate through which God of philosophers (and other religions) is revealed to Christians”?

>> to see God coming to us from the future <<

A reference to Juergen Moltmann’s “God is the coming God, rather than a God abidingly present” in his Theology of Hope?

As for some reactions here, let me remind you of my favourite quote from J. W. Goethe's Faust:

True, human beings may abound
Who growl at things beyond their ken,
Mocking the beautiful and good,
And all they haven't understood.

If one can understand you , then "the narrow gate through which God of philosophers (and other religions) is revealed to Christians”.
Krishna may be Christ but did Solomon build a multi-cultural community centre for Afro-Asian and Amerindian dance and vibrant ethnics?

George,
Thanks for the poem. I have detected a note of desperation in the comments section during the last four posts. I have shifted the debate well away from the usual loaded debate about God and they don't quite know how to respond.

Very broad minded of you to include all the other religions.

Sells, instead of whining on about the audience, why not pitch something towards them which is more convincing.
The question is; what are you trying to achieve by arguing theology with unbelievers, who hold no stead with the Christian view. In fact, those who are openly hostile to it.

There is no message in your post to them, short of mind games of convincing.

It even annoys me: one who is sympathetic to Christianity. Who cares about the trinity. It's a subject that has shifted and changes down through the ages, and is not set in its conclusions!

There are denominations of Christian thinkers, who disbelieve the trinity theory. It is irrelevant to the true message of religion, which is, I ask you? Give me a “from the heart” answer. Not some high-brow holier than thou BS.

What does Scott Morrison believe, as an evangelical Christian? Just to make the subject relevant. why don't you ask him, and get back to OLO with something of interest!

It was broad-minded of Pope Alexander VI of blessed memory to grant The Treaty of Tordesillas 1494 which divided the newly discovered lands outside Europe between the Portuguese and Spanish Empires . This trinity was written in blood and gold which poured through narrow gates of holy banks run by the Fathers and Cesare Borgia his son . All religions thus came to know and love this discovery .
