"Seen da' Light" Poem.
 
Here's a little poem. Feel free to comment:)

Seen da Light

Oh, the tragic hearts of man
The sun cries to the clouds
"Don't be so opaque!" but clouds
Can't understand so our
Hearts don't know what they're
Missing until silently amid
The grey shadows, a cloud of circumstance
Floats nonchalantly away
Allowing a stream of illumination
To cast it's bright light upon
The soil of a shadowy heart
Still we may not even know,
Sitting, a seed begins to grow

Hhhmm, I wonder what the author was referring to in that poem. Some of made sense, but I had a feeling that he was speaking in metaphoric language.

I think the grey shadow represents the doctrine of the trinity which clouds the minds of men and blocks illumination to the truth of God's word. It disgusts me :(

I think that it is talking about how we long for joy, but it is obscured until at some point we get a brief veiw of something that brings us happiness and peace, but that is mearly my theory. It is worth as much as anything else.

Live says that OP doctrine disgusts him, so I was teasing him about his poem.

Ahh, your just saying that because I'm trinitarian. I think the same about modalism. :)

I would not listen to anything I said in that post as it was written very early in the morning and I was operating off of nearly 10 mugs of HC. :D

So you believe that Jesus and the Father are absolutely God and agree that they are personally distinct but are not sure about the personal character of the Holy Spirit is distinct from the Father and the Son?

Roman 8- The Spirit prays to God
John 14-16- The Holy Spirit testifies to the Father and the Son
Ephesians 4- The Holy Spirit can be grieved, i.e., is personal
2 Corinthians 13:14- "The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all."
Etc.

I asked you a question. And then I listed some scriptures you might consider looking at if that was the case. You mentioned yourself being like a binitarian. I simply responded with a question.

Oh, then I suppose you were being sarcastic but at first read the statement did not sound sarcastic.
