One God, One Savior... One Throne.

 
I have come to believe that there is one throne in heaven. The glorious personality that occupies that seat will have the scars of the crucifixion which will be obvious when we see Him. I have pondered this for many years and no one has been able to satisfy my curiosity, nor have they been able to answer my following observation. Those who read the scripture know that there is much allegory, symbolism, metaphor and similitude in many of the passages, both in the Prophets and the Gospels. The Parables of Jesus are a great example of using familiar scenarios to present a truth and the listener is expected to be careful “how” they hear. So with that in mind please allow me to present a view of the supposed three “persons” of the trinity. / In an attempt to bring clarity to my view of the trinity, please allow this vain allegory, relating to the Passport process. Suppose all three of these individuals, who are (as we are taught) separated from each other, were to walk into the Bureau of Consular Affairs to apply for a Passport. Just how would the process turn out, since a photo is required? God the Father has no physical image for the camera to capture. Now Jesus could of course produce an image but think about this one. The Holy Spirit would have at least 144,000 photos just to start with. One would imagine that although you and I may not agree on many nonessential points of contention, we still claim to be filled, motivated and directed by this same Spirit that has been called “a” person. Technically we are merely (if merely is the word) one of the many persons in whom the Holy Ghost resides; both in the world today, and as it has been since the day of Pentecost. To put this in perspective I can’t get it out of my thinking that in our collective worship, along with our words and works, we in essence, believe in the same person. That same ‘person’ who occupies the throne contains all of the attributes mentioned above. So an authentic picture of Jesus although it may be worth a thousand words, makes me understand that it also takes many more than a thousand words to confuse the whole issue. If you are a thinking “person” you might see the picture the way I do too.
