[.. If one concentrates on the differences between Jesus Christ as a man and Jesus Christ as God, he is apt to see Jesus as two persons when He is One Person with two facets. ]

Good point.. I am an engineer, a husband. a father, grand father, and great grand father.. all at the same time.. Actually I'm more things than that..

So is Jesus.. much more.. The Earthy observer can be limited by his observations.. and the spiritual observer by his spiritual observations.. Mixing those limitations can get dicey..

The pain of an earthy life can facet you.. some more than others.. You know, A-G it takes a gemologist to be a christian observer.. don't you think.?

[Dr. Eckleburg]

But the Trinity is more than just different facets of one man, i.e. the description of your many roles in life. The Trinity is three separate persons, all equal and of the same substance.

Remarkably beyond our ability to fully understand.

LOLOL! It certain helps, dear brother in Christ!

As Dr. Eckleburg points out, it is very difficult to come up with the proper words to explain such concepts.

I went with no delineation (as in "no bright line") and yet a difference - and returned to "facet" as I recall, in the same post. LOL!

The "facet" term has been fairly successful in explaining how all of us can be looking at the same diamond and the same Light and yet see slightly different things depending on which facet we are facing.

But language fails...
