“Add in the intellectual jiu-jitsu required to account for Christ’s divine and human natures—a doctrine that’ll tackle us later—and it almost seems as if God’s purpose all along in revealing Himself to man was to provoke complex heresies, interminable Church councils, and impenetrable tomes in Greek and Latin devoted to explaining the inexplicable.”

The message Jesus and his apostles preached required no “intellectual jiu-jitsu” and I dare say any that does is a corruption of that message.
The author is babbling nonsense.

The author is babbling nonsense.

Exactly...And what that author spews is the biggest heresy of all; that only a select few intellectuals can actually know what God says...

That is necessarily the conclusion that one draws when the first thousand years of church history is blithely dismissed.

I suspect you're putting an unnecessarily negative slant on Zmirak's piece. God's nature is a pool simple enough for a lamb to wade in and enjoy, and deep and wild enough to drown a mammoth. God has all these aspects and more. Surely when the Creator said, "Love me with your whole mind," he was at least implying we ought to think about Him to the furthest extent that mind can take us.

Or why did He give us minds and say, "Love me with them"?

Not that we'll fathom Him, but that we will find ever deeper and wider dimensions and more brilliant intricacies of Him

"...whose beauty is past change:
Praise him."
