Sorry, I'm not exactly 100% capable of articulating this myself, and misstatements can completetly change the meaning of a sentence.
Sorry. I meant that Jesus, being God, has existed as long as God. Just not in a human form. Jesus is the mouthpiece of the Father, the WORD by which the Father may communicate directly to us.Originally Posted by Sigurd Fafnesbane
Jesus is a physical manifestation of the Holy Spirit, with a human mind rather than the self-aware intellect of God.So... Jesus is no longer physical, and different from the Father and the Holy spirit who are not physical?
The Father is the intellect of God. The Holy Spirit is the essence of God; God's experience of the world, the will of the intellect.
Here is an analogy: Think of your self-aware intellect. Is that physical? Think of your desires and urges: Is that physical? Your desires and urges become physical when you transform your environment to match your will. Not in a literal sense, but the physical world you leave in a moment of choice is an echo of your determination.
So to with the Intellect and Will of God. The intellect (Father) dictates, the will (Holy Spirit) manifests, and we experience the echo of that determination.
Jesus Christ is both the determination and the echo.
