Entry: The Death of God Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/the_death_of_god#714 Post contents: Christopher, I'm not sure what you're asking. By the Church's reading, Christ is the Son of God--in other words, yes, He is the "I AM." As in, "Before Abraham was made, I AM" (John 8:58). If you read my comment to be implying otherwise, I apologize for any confusion. Obviously, I wasn't denying that Death Bredon was right to say that Jesus is God (though it is a bit sloppy to refer to Jesus and God as "the same person"--when "God" is used alone to refer to a Person of the Trinity, the Person of God the Father is assumed). Rather, I was pointing out that the story of the Exodus is not just that of God the Father leading His people out of Egypt, but of Moses, a type of Christ, leading them. In fact, if you compare the Reproaches to the text of Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy, you'll see that some of the words recall God's words in the Old Testament, while others recall Moses's. That mixture is perfectly appropriate, since Christ is the Son of God, and Moses was an Old Testament type of Christ. Sent at: 2008 11 20
