Mystery

  1. "To the early Christians, however, the Greek word mysterion stood for the hidden things of God and Jesus came to reveal." The Mass, page 43
  2. " ...to clarify our notion. of mystery-  which does not mean a truth that we can not know anything about, but a truth that we cannot know everything about."  Theology for Beginners, page 43(8/30/11)
  3. "… any given Mystery resolves itself (for our minds, of course, not in its own reality) in two truths which we cannot see how to reconcile."  Theology and Sanity page 18 (1/20/12) 
    1. It is like an optical illusion. You either see the two faces or the vase but you can not see the two faces and vase simultaneously. (2/8/12)
      1. Which one you see says more about you than the diagram (2/9/12)
  4. False interpretations of mysteries (2/8/12)
    1. Accepting one of the truths and rejecting the other (2/8/12)
    2. Interpreting each truth to make it seem moire like the other. (2/8/12)
      1. For example, making man seem more like God and God seem more like man in the mystery of the dual nature of Christ. (2/8/12)
