The Ark was never "a container for God". the whole idea is ludicrous. God rested His Presence on it between the two carved angels. The Presence sometimes left, He was not caught in a box ,much as some like to think

[Cronos]

Let's explain the fault with Rn's theorem of the ARk = type of Christ

Let's see --
the Ark of the Old Covenant

• a container for the Word written down by Moses.
• Not God, just a container, something created
• Not God, just a container, filled with the grace of God
• Not a sacrifice, not a teacher, not a preacher

Christ

• God and man
• 100% God and 100% man, not a container, not a phantom, not just a spirit, but God in flesh
• The Word incarnate, not a container for the Word
• Begotten not made, not created -- not a creature
• Preacher, teacher, Lord, God, not a container, not a created being

To say that the ark was Christ in any way is to deny the Divinity-Humanity nature of Christ.

Do you, Rn:

• Think that Jesus Christ was just a container for God, not actually God in flesh?
• Think that Jesus Christ was created by God, just a creature, not God?
• Think that Jesus Christ is akin to the ark, a created thing, not God?

I wonder if Rn believes the following:

We Believe in One Lord Jesus Christ
The Only Son of God
Eternally Begotten of the Father
God from God, Light from Light
True God from True God
Begotten, Not Made
One in Being (homoousia) with the Father
Through Him All Things Were Made

Perhaps her group denies Christ as being both God and Man? True God from True God

Rnmom's group's statement saying Christ is just a container like the ark, a container for God is quite, quite wrong

[Cronos]

God rested His Presence on it between the two carved angels.

Exactly -- the Ark was NOT God, whereas Jesus Christ was/is God.

The Ark contained the Word, it was not the Word, whereas Jesus Christ WAS the Word incarnate

To say that the Ark was Christ, to compare Christ to a container is blasphemous to say the least.
