Relationally Multi-faceted
By John Gavazzoni

Scripture explains God's wisdom as manifold, or better translated, multi-faceted. Likewise, God Himself is relationally multi-faceted in that the Divine Being (in whom we all have our being) is a Father to Himself as a Son, and thus conversely, a Son to Himself as a Father...One God united by, and as, the Family-constituting Holy Spirit of shared Godness and Personness. But we must dig deeper beneath the Father/Son relationship to that facet to which the Father/Son relationship owes its eternal emergence, that the Divine Being, in the conjugal communion of Its potential of loving Parenthood, when consummated, brought forth "the Son of His love." There is in the above relational-complex an inference that must be drawn, i.e., that God is passionately reproductive and was completely focused on begetting a Son in Whom, and out from Whom, an extended Family of sons and daughters are begotten destined to be those in and by whom the divine glory is increased out from Its own depths of glory..."from glory to glory."

The traditional relational-paradigm of God as the holy trinity misses, or is inadequate to explain, the innards of the Divine Relationship which IS God. Most certainly the concept of God as a Oneness akin to overly simplistic monism - almost bereft of understanding the relational complex of the Divine Being - misses the mark by a long shot. To be brought into communion with the Lord, is to come to know God as Father (implying a complementary Motherhood), and as Elder Brother, in a Brotherhood that implies Sisterhood.

To be brought by Jesus to God, and to know God, as our Father is to be granted entrance into the heart of the divine administration. That administration is, at its heart, procreative, from which it becomes creative. All creation is held together, and proceeds toward the certain destiny of glory by the very dynamic which IS multi-faceted Gender-complete, Family-constituted Deity. As an aside: when the apostle Paul stated that there is neither male nor female in Christ, he was indicating not that gender-distinction does not exist, but that the two are brought into perfect union in Him. It takes the complement of intrinsic femininity to make masculinity complete, and vise versa. It is not a matter of "neither," as in neither existing, but of both united as one.

The Divine Relationship which IS Godness centers upon, and proceeds forward, because of that Event within which, and which is, the Beginning of all things, namely that "...unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given..." The supreme act of Deity was to birth a Son. Everything was set in motion toward its divine destiny when God became a Father by begetting a Son within Whom He created all things, and so became "One God and Father, who is above all, and through all, and in all."

I have offered this...you might say... treatise, as a fresh revisit of trinitarian theology. It is far from perfect, I readily admit, but also humbly believe that it takes more careful aim at knowing Him, Whom to know, is life eonian.
