Hi Mark,
I am not just blogging, I am lawn mowing, registering the dog and about to put a new headlight in the motorbike!
Please understand that I am not wanting to push the unity too far. The truth is that the Godhead is 100% 3 persons and 100% 1 God, and so in another sense we cannot push either too far as long as we hold on to the other. To say that when the Spirit hovered over the waters, or when Jesus hung on a cross, that the Godhead was NOT there is wrong. Just as it is wrong to say that ONLY the Father sent Jesus.
Now, if you want to ask me, in what way was the Father hanging on the cross…I cannot answer that and I doubt anyone can.
The reason for this is, as they are one they cannot be completely separated (which is what you appear to seek to do). Nor can they be completely mushed together (which is not what I seek to do – I recognise that the Father sent the Son).
Mushing is different to noodling. Something to do with huskies?
It appears to me that if someone is pushing something too far it is you Mark. This is because when you say ONLY the Father sent the Son you have let go of the oneness of the Trinity completely (not just function…but completely).
