go to the ant....consider her ways and be wise
If you went out and began speaking to the ants on the ground, they would not hear you. but if you could somehow project an image of yourself down to them, and from the body of an ant, communicate to them, transmitting your thoughts and words from where you are, down to them in their language, you could reach them. but what would you talk about? ..........you would still be where you are, the base station you're transmitting from. but for them , this remote control ant that they see and hear would be you as well. you would effectively be in two places at once.
or if you broadcast a television signal of your image, or if you say "i have so & so on the phone",..they arent really ON the phone, it's their voice waves coming through an audio signal.
Jesus is the transmission of God to US on our level. . He was one of us, and yet He was and is, God. John 1 says "the Word (logos) was God, was made flesh, and dwelt among us." "word" here means "divine expression". ..the fullness of the Godhead bodily. divine "transmission"...divine "projection".
1 timothy 3:16 "without controversy.. God was manifest in the flesh" (Paul never met the people of yahoo chatrooms) 2 corinthians 5:19 "God was in Christ reconciling the world unto HImself"
and in 2 corinthians 4:6, we have paul saying "God made light in the beginning, and then made light shine in our hearts,...to enlighten us about the nature of God...in the face of Jesus Christ"
obviously the ant illustration doesnt carry across 100%. point by point. illustrations usually dont. they dont have to. ants are not made in our image, neither did we create them. The transmission of God was more than a projected signal, His Spirit was imparted. and lives with us here today.
Its kind of fun attempting to explain the concept of the trinity, but here on earth we cannot fully understand heavenly mysteries. only in part. if you COULD get into the ant's world, could you get them to understand the world series?,..jimi hendrix music, or the stock market?...heck i dont even understand the stock market.
