Christology studies the relationship between God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit,
It also studies the relationship of man in regards to this Trinity.
We begin by looking at the original value of man, his divinity,
This being the foundation for Christology, for now and eternity,
Hoping to shed more light to this issue, bring more clarity.
The value of a person, who has realized the value of creation,
Is like the value of Adam or Eve in perfection,
We can understand such a person’s value from several perspectives.
First, the relationship between God and a fully mature person, as originally intended,
And how the dual characteristics relationship it resembles.
A perfect person and God, is like a relationship of mind and body,
Such a person is a temple of God, in whom God can dwell continually,
The person possesses a divine nature after maturing spiritually,
Thus the person becomes an equal to God, literally,
Being perfect as heavenly Father is perfect, was the plan originally.
Second, the value of man from the perspective for which he was created,
Was to share joy with God, which was expected,
Each individual being is unique to God and so should be respected.
Third, how to the universe he’s related,
Perfecting and mastering both spirit world and physical world directly.
The relationship between perfect Adam and Jesus,
Can be understood by comparing the Tree of Life in the Garden of Eden,
To the Tree of Life which is to be restored in the Last Days.
Adam had he realized the ideal of perfection back then,
Would be of equal value with Jesus; Tree of Life in the Book of Revelation.
A fully mature person, is perfect as God is perfect,
He is unique in all the cosmos, Word incarnate,
He possesses the value of the cosmos, that’s the target.
This is the Value of Jesus, who attained this value, back then,
He is a man who to God’s ideal of creation, brought success.
Jesus lives in oneness with God,
He is a man with a divine nature of course,
But he is not God Himself as far as it goes,
His relationship to God is like that of mind and body,
He is the Son, God’s second self, a man living with God in perfect harmony.
The final mystery we are to unravel is that of the Trinity,
This will conclude our topic of Christology.
Adam and Eve were to be the True Parents of Humanity,
Would have borne good children without original sin, that’s the reality,
Instead they fell and multiplied evil children, a tragedy.
Thus we have to get rebirth, be born a second time,
As children without original sin, with no link to Adam & Eve’s crime,
Through Jesus, the Father and the Holy Spirit as mother of humankind,
The Holy Spirit being feminine while Jesus being masculine,
We are to be reborn with a new lineage, a new bloodline.
The Rebirth of Jesus and the Holy Spirit is spiritual,
At the second coming the rebirth will be both spiritual and physical,
Thus Christ must return in the flesh and find his Bride, His equal,
And together with God, form a perfect trinity on earth for the rebirth ritual,
Restoring everyone on Earth and in Heaven to be worthy of entering the Kingdom.
