I find it interesting that mankind finds it so difficult to
accept the religiously sponsored idea that the Christian God is really three
persons in one being, and that Jesus was actually part of who God is. Secular society has no trouble understanding
that each of us is made up of a brain that has an Ego, a Superego, and an
Id. Never any arguments heard about
these three distinct personality elements in your noggin, is there? And they are completely invisible to
anyone. They can’t point to any of them
in the brain. Also, there are no
arguments that people can suffer from mental illness wherein they have multiple
personalities (of even different sexes!)
Society just swallows that one from the intellectual community like they
were saying the “sun comes up in the morning.” Then of course there is 3 in 1 oil, and I'm sure using this image will tick somebody off.
And yet an entity that is deemed responsible for calling
creation into being cannot be seen to fit anything but a singular mold? If he is even accepted at all. Why is that? Remember, Jesus claimed that “I and the Father are one….he that
has seen me has seen the Father.” The
authority from God was not claimed just because he felt like it, it was claimed
because he had that authority as part of God.
It is also essential to the aspect of Jesus dying on the cross and
returning to life after three days in the grave to prove he was God. God describes Himself as a “relational”
character with himself and with us (at least that’s the goal, he wants a
relationship with us…something we often seem to thwart at every turn.) Now the “Superego” of God the Father himself
even Jesus acknowledged was greater than he was, so in this triune being there
are differences in function and in power.
Hmmm…like the Superego that controls the Id and the Ego?
The creator and giver of life is no small figure that can
fit neatly in the box of our intellectual choosing. He is much larger than that.
