Yeah, Sheed lost me with his claim “God revealed to us”. Then, followed by word salad and hair-pulling diversions. He’s an apologist and tries quite poorly to do that.

You can't learn anything from propagandists and dogmatic ideologues.

Isn't that in reference to God's breath?

Again, from Strong's: רוּחַ rûwach, roo'-akh; from H7306; wind; by resemblance breath, i.e. a sensible (or even violent) exhalation; figuratively, life, anger, unsubstantiality; by extension, a region of the sky; by resemblance spirit, but only of a rational being (including its expression and functions):—air, anger, blast, breath, × cool, courage, mind, × quarter, × side, spirit(-ual), tempest, × vain, (whirl-) wind(-y).

Actually, this is a topic that historically has been fraught. The whole bit about Erasmus indicates that there is some historical justification for at least discussing the topic.

I don't see a problem with a "Triune God" if one has a God at all. But it is VERY interesting to see how the concept evolved within the faith. And we have a lot of the record to show us how "the sausage was made". Sometimes it is not appealing.

No, I think when they talk about God's breath on the waters it would mean he is blowing on the waters. Not that an ineffible spirit was somehow there.

Is my breath a separate being from me?
