05/26/2002 Entry: "Wood's challenge"

Yesterday, Wood challenged me to come up with an anology between the Trinity and making a cup of tea. Here's my first effort.

Hi Kid's! I often think that the Trinity is rather like a cup of tea. You pour hot water onto tea leaves and give it a stir. What you get (tea!) contains water, essences from the tea leaves and energy from the stirring. There are three parts, but you cannot separate them. The cup of tea is a unity. Just like the Trinity.
:o) So could you do any better?

Oops, the irony went right over my head...

I think Wood wanted a spoof. That's what I *tried* to write. That's he trouble with these kind of things - the line between useful and parody can be very thin indeed.

Not bad, but have you reinvented an "ancient heresy"?

I prefer your comment -

God is not to be 'explained' nor can the doctrine of the Trinity be 'examined'.
