Believing and sure that history is our savior, i can not avoid the guestions that the wise ones dealt with. Let us start this way. I am a convinced christian, which means that i believe that Jesus christ is the way to God or what jesus christ taught, followed in entirety, can afford me a good life.
But i meet with doctrines and guestions about the person of christ. In one God are three persons that make one person. what should i make of these persons in one? the way the word person is used in refference to God and the way it is used in refference to my fellow other human being, is it the same? personhood as a universal, what does it signify?
I would understand if someone explained the difference in refference while using the same word person, and ofcourse there are the limitations of language, but what justice does that do to reality.
Am i imposing meaning or using the word person metaphorically in refference to God or that is the reality? does this explain in any way the humanity as well as the divinity of jesus? was he two persons/ two natures in one or one person. Is jesus' claim on divine nature the same as my human claim of spiritualness or divineness?
Is jesus my brother(human) or brother in a metaphorical way in the sense that he captures and reveals through his teachings what it means by our being born in God's image and likeness? is he my friend? or he is my God - the necesary being. as i answer this for myself, i invite you to reason it out with me and help me as i seek more knowledge and clarity. thanks
