A thought....

Searching for Bible passages looking for anything on multiplicity seems a dauntless task, but the following thought occured to me:

God himself is a multiple. God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit...(plus he has tons of names :P)

And the Bible says we are made in the image of God - which I see as spirit wise, not physically since God does not really have a corpereal body (excepting Jesus walkign on earth)

Since three of our system are christian and the fourth believes in God, just chooses not to follow him, it has been something we have been thinking and praying about a lot.

But if we are made in the image of God, and God is a multiple (ok an all powerful co concious omnipresent multiple, but still :P)....then I suppose the most information I can find will be studying God and how he relates to himself, rather than pickign the Bible to see if I can find any hints or examples.

Perhaps everyone has the potential for multiplicity in some way -

If God is three spirits in one, then would not something made in that image be able to have more than one spirit while yet being whole?

In my religion and some pantheist religions, the entire world is like one multiple system. I won't go into it unless you are interested. :P (Don't want to be boring.)

Also, Gnostic Christianity can be interpreted in that way.

This is an interesting theory. I wouldn't mind hearing it. Not sure about others though, but I wouldn't mind hearing it. I know I was and still am interested in Gnostic Christianity. If you don't mind I'd like to add you to this journal friend's list and hear more of your theories in your journal possibly??!! Let me know if it's okay to add ya?
