to me, a more accurate analogy (though no analogy is going to fully work) would be to have an infinite and invisible tub of ice cream (it can be any flavor you want, though it must be a uniform flavor, not a mixture). 

Take a FINITE scoop of that icecream from the infinite and invisible tub and place it on a counter top so that you can better wrap your finite mind around it. You can discern the presence of the scoop ice cream spiritually, you can discern the location of the scoop (it's sitting on the countertop), and communicate with it, but you can't physcially see it.  You can consume the invisible ice cream so that it is inside of you and have a continuing relationship with it. - That's the Holy Spirit of God - God manifested spiritually.

Take ANOTHER FINITE scoop of that icecream from the infinite and invisible tub and place it in a bowl so that you can better wrap your finite mind around it. This bowl you are allowed to touch and handle, though the icecream is still invisible.  - That's Jesus Christ, God manifesting his spirit in the flesh (blow).

Jesus Christ, that FINITE scoop of icecream placed in a bowl, packaged so that it can be handled, is the EXACT representation of the uniform icecream in the infinite and invisible tub of icecream.

The Trinity is much more appealing when you think about it in the simple context of an infinite and invisible tub of ice cream.

First, don't blast Jmcfst for this.  I started it with my Neopolitan analogy.  Second, as a Christian believer, I got a lot out of what he wrote.  I totally grant that the use of any THING to explain God is inane babble on one level.  But human beings are only capable of understanding the infinite to a certain point.  Hence, neopolitan ice cream.    Absurd explaining the sublime?  Yep.  Not that unlike the use of things like mustard seeds and simple oil lamps to explain eternal truth. 

I very rarely agree with our friend from Texas on much, so please let me enjoy this!  :-)

I think the internet needs an age limit

I agree.  Frankly I'm sick of JSojourner, Torie, muon2 et al polluting our lovely forum with their incessant potty mouthing and general time-wasting.

You're just saying that because you know we are SCORING with all the ladies in the retirement community!  ;-)

The last four posts should all be deleted by a mod.

Just stumbling on this...

I agree.  Can't we just wish them all the best?

Referring to Sarah Palin's offer to campaign for Democrats who share her values...

What Democrat would want her?

Well, I don't like Reid and don't like Stupak.

They may be Pro-Life, but being a Pro-Life socialist is still a socialist.
