Bringing greater meaning and coherence to the Scriptures
and deeper intimacy to our faith

My question to theology:

What in humanity is being transformed from one degree to another?

If our relationship with God is to be genuinely filial, as the Scriptures contend, something of God must experience as human, and something of humanity must experience as divine, which ultimately manifests in how we relate. Just as the Incarnation of God in Christ humanizes God, the Presence of God’s Spirit transformatively divinizes our relational nature from one degree to another into an analogically corresponding spirit, for a person throughout a lifetime, for humanity throughout history. This mutuality must happen in a way that preserves difference and the respective nature of personhood (divine and human). In this respect, if there are a thousand universes with living beings who know God as God, there will be a thousand Trinities.
