#65 Jesus the Creator, Jehovah the Redeemer: Understanding the Holy Trinity

By Jonathan S. Rose

Title: Jesus the Creator, Jehovah the Redeemer

Topic: Trinity/Unity

Summary: We explore the unity and trinity in God--how the "Father" relates to the "Son," the "Word," and the "Holy Spirit." Fairly absurd concrete analogies are brought to bear on these important but mystical truths.

5569. Just as there is a correspondence of the bones and skin, so there is also a correspondence of the hairs on the body; for hairs come up out of roots in the skin. Whatever is part of the correspondence with the Grand Man exists with spirits and angels; for each one is related to the Grand Man as an image of the same. Angels therefore have hair, neatly and tidily arranged; their hair represents their natural life and the correspondence of this with their spiritual life. For 'the hair' or 'hairs' means the strands of one's natural life, see 3301, while 'cutting one's hair' means attending to natural things so as to make them tidy and so attractive, 5247.
