No wonder He calls us to be holy as He is holy. An imperfect metaphor gives an imperfect revelation. We could be meatphors. I don't have Joan's excuse.

In Christ rests the fullness of the Godhead, he is the ultimate Symbol of our.. who-ness. <br /><br />Hmm... clay is "thrown" in a process that extracts impurities. Or I wonder if "cast" comes through in the definition of "thrown across", much like filling a mold.. I'm having fun finding all the places for cast, cast down, thrown, poured in the Bible. Just don't wanna be thrown out, cast down, or poured out like wax. <br /><br />Don't mind me.

You are of course free to pursue a life of equilibrium with the world, but if you succeed, then you fail. About that disequilibrium: "God is infinitely close to man, but man is infinitely far from God." The first makes the journey possible, while the second makes it necessary.</i>tedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07354048695798015131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-87042531469007817862015-06-23T10:06:40.105-07:002015-06-23T10:06:40.105-07:00So there is really a dynamic complementarity betwe...<i>So there is really a dynamic complementarity between unity and totality.</i><br /><br />I am reminded of how every living body is both one and millions upon millions. And even within each one of those millions upon millions of distinct cells, there is not a unified blobular mass off undifferentiated goo, but rather separate organelles with differing functions, and so on. It's fair to say that no life form of any kind exists without differentiation, even as each life form is recognizably one.juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15975754287030568726noreply@blogger.com
