Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The creative Board of the Kingdom of God
The word trinity does not quite impress me. It is religious and exploited mainly by traditional religions. A bloody war went on for more than one year for the sake of this doctrine. Repeated attempts have been made to redraw Scripture in theology. I don’t know to what end they’ve come to.
But... the topic is mysterious and deep. We must also have our own position on this subject.
No one will deny the presence of the Heavenly Father in the universe. The Only Begotten Son of God. And also the most mysterious Person - the Holy Spirit.
I bring to your attention two versions on this subject. The first belongs to Solomon.
“Take my instruction instead of silver, and knowledge rather than choice gold,
for wisdom is better than jewels, and all that you may desire cannot compare with her.
I, wisdom, dwell with prudence, and I find knowledge and discretion.
The fear of the Lord is hatred of evil.
Pride and arrogance and the way of evil and perverted speech I hate.
I have counsel and sound wisdom; I have insight; I have strength.
By me kings reign, and rulers decree what is just;
by me princes rule, and nobles, all who govern justly.
I love those who love me, and those who seek me diligently find me.
Riches and honor are with me, enduring wealth and righteousness.
My fruit is better than gold, even fine gold, and my yield than choice silver.
I walk in the way of righteousness, in the paths of justice,
granting an inheritance to those who love me, and filling their treasuries.
The Lord possessed me at the beginning of his work, the first of his acts of old.
Ages ago I was set up, at the first, before the beginning of the earth.
When there were no depths I was brought forth, when there were no springs abounding with water.
Before the mountains had been shaped, before the hills, I was brought forth,
before he had made the earth with its fields, or the first of the dust of the world.
When he established the heavens, I was there; when he drew a circle on the face of the deep, when he made firm the skies above, when he established the fountains of the deep,
when he assigned to the sea its limit, so that the waters might not transgress his command, when he marked out the foundations of the earth, then I was beside him, like a master workman, and I was daily his delight, rejoicing before him always, rejoicing in his inhabited world and delighting in the children of man.” (Proverbs 8:10-31).
Here is Solomon's view of the creation process. So inspiring and romantic. The primary cosmic contours of the coming universe.
And suddenly, a female person of the trinity of God appears before us.
A circular line across the face of the abyss ... the foundation of the earth .... I was an artist and muse, inspiring and uplifting. Having fun in His face every day ...
That is, the process of creation was not painful and exhausting. With sweat and blood. No. The creation of the world took place in an atmosphere of creative inspiration, fun and joy.
Now about the same thing. The second version. The look of Moses.
"In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
The earth was formless and empty, and darkness was upon the face of the deep, and the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
And God said: Let there be light. And the light became.
And God saw the light, that he was good, and God separated the light from the darkness.
And God called the light day, and the darkness night. And there was evening and there was morning: one day.
And God said: Let there be a firmament in the midst of the water, and let it separate the water from the water” (Genesis 1:1-6).
The text is concise, like laboratory notes. Far and cold space. Gloomy pictures of the earth's surface, over which he noticed some movement. The spirit of God was rushing, and no female persons. No lyrics, fun or triumph. The approach is purely scientific and conceptual.
Solomon and Moses. And somewhere nearby we are. So different and different from each other.
Trying to delve into the secrets of the universe. In this message, we tried to make sense of the creative trinity during the creation of the world. And what was the role of the Father? What role did the Beloved Son play in this process? And of course, what about the Wisdom of God or the role of the Holy Spirit?
Such a difficult topic was preachedat the last Sunday service.
As you know, this is not milk, but solid food. And if you care about the depths of God, welcome: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Creative Board of the Kingdom of God.
