Truth is the judgment of the cross on the world, in this world we crucify God daily to our systems as we face our struggle to survive in a hostile world. When truth is silenced, the voice of God is crucified.
The Lord taught his disciples to pray with a model prayer. The prayer affirms the oneness of humanity under the love of God our Father. The prayer teaches us that God’s reality is apart from the daily experience of humanity.
In Scripture, it is not the language of law that communicates God, it is not the philosophers strenuous exercise in dialectics that communicates God - it is the prophets poetry, the wiseman’s story, the language of the song….
I understand God’s nature to be ‘Holy’; God cannot be other than who God is. Certainly, God’s experience of humanity is an unprecedented experience in the life of God, even an adventure. Wrestling to grasp transcendent realities is a limited enterprise! However, the inclusion of the man Jesus as a holy addition into that which constitutes God (divine essence) would not change God’s nature.
