GIVING TO THE POOR

[To read extensive excerpts from a talk by Dr. Helmut Koester, in which he discusses giving to the poor as being an important principle to Paul, browse http://www.bibletexts.com/terms/sharing1.htm.]

GLUTTONY

GOD AS LIFE

See Deu 30:20 (ASV, KJV, NIV)
See also Jesus' declaration, "I am the way, the truth, and the life." (Joh 14:7,12) Since Christ Jesus is described as "the image of the invisible God" (Col 1:15) and as "the reflection of God’s glory and the exact imprint of God’s very being" (Heb 1:3). Jesus himself said, "If you know me, you will know my Father also,"and "Whoever has seen me has seen the Father" (Joh 12:9). We may then conclude that by truly seeing Jesus as "the life," we are seeing God, the Father, as Life.

GOD AS LOVE

GOD AS MIND

In his article on "God" in the Encyclopedia of Early Christianity, Second Edition (edited by Everett Ferguson (NY: Garland Publishing, 1998, page 471), Robert M. Grant writes:

Athenagoras [writing between 176-180 A.D.] was the first apologist to identify God as Mind (Leg. 10.3). Philo accasionally referred to God in this way, treating him as "the active cause, the most pure and unsullied Mind of the universe" (On the Creation of the World 8), but such a doctrine was only one of his interpretations. Athenagoras himself also used the term "Mind" in regard to the Son...

Both Athenagoras and Theophilus [writing in the late 2nd century A.D.] are willing to call the Son or Logos the Mind of the Father (Clement calls the Logos the Son of the Father-Mind).
Clement of Alexandria (150-215 A.D.) in his Exhortation to the Greeks 10 [ANF 2:199], as found in Ancient Christian Commentary on Scripture: Genesis I-II, edited by Andrew Louth and Marco Conti (Downers Grove, IL, USA: InterVarsity Press, 2001, page 29) wrote:

For "the image of God" is his Word (and the divine Word, the light who is the archetype of light, is a genuine son of Mind [the Father]); and an image of the Word is the true man, that is, the mind of man, who on this account is said to have been created "in the image" of God and "in his likeness," because through his understanding heart he is made like the divine Word or Reason [Logos], and so rational [logikos]

GOD AS SOUL

[Note: In addition, the phrase, 'Spirit, God' or 'God, Spirit', is used 41 times in S&H and 36 times in Prose Works.]

GOD AS TRUTH

See "God of truth"
- Deu 32:4
- Psa 31:5
- Isa 65:16
See also Jesus' declaration, "I am the way, the truth, and the life." (Joh 14:7,12) Since Christ Jesus is described as "the image of the invisible God" (Col 1:15) and as "the reflection of God’s glory and the exact imprint of God’s very being" (Heb 1:3). Jesus himself said, "If you know me, you will know my Father also,"and "Whoever has seen me has seen the Father" (Joh 12:9). We may then conclude that by trutly seeing Jesus as "the truth" we are seeing God, the Father, as Truth.
