You even have no problem with the beliefs of other christians such as YO who believe that Jesus is not the God of the OT, and you even went on to say that you have the same belief as YO although in just previous post you said Jesus was the God of the OT.

Clarification time.

The difference between Sol and I is SEMANTIC. Evidence:

1) I don't think that Sol would disagree with the statements placed in my last post. Both the 3 "Onlys" and Grace Seeker's quote. Verify that for me, Sol, if you would...

2) Earlier in this thread, Sol said that he "can't really find anything i disagree with (yet!)" while saying that my language is "far too jewish" for his taste "though this is not a bad thing". His exact words. I admit emphatically that my language is more early Jewish Christian than formally Athanasian. Just different emphases on the same reality. Whereas I put more focus on the "underivative YHWH-ness" of God the Father (such that I've been saying that YHWH IS God the Father), Sol puts more focus on Jesus being actually being the "only begotten YHWH" (such that he's been saying that Jesus IS actually YHWH). It was the same semantic issue that I had with Grace Seeker.

3) I believe that the nuances are made clear by the analogies.

This should answer your question...
You said Jesus (p) is not The One God, but he is very God.
What is the difference between "the one god" and "very god"?

The specific term is "very God of very God"

About the analogies, I think they can be misleading and frankly they are not needed. I think every human can understand fatherhood better than angles and triangles. And the point of God becoming man was to show us how close God is to us that we don't need analogies to understand God. He is closer to us than we are to ourselves...

Hey, Amigo. Thanks for the response. Could you be specific in what ways you think the analogies are misleading? That would be very helpful for me to scrutinize my thinking.
 
Hi YO

I think the easy way to put it is they make it sound like a notion is too hard to grasp than it really easy.
