Further to my last post, ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
madaussie and I were discussing the Exodus 4:24 situation; getting into a barroom brawl with God (no, really!)
The question is this; in that situation, imagine the whole Trinity has turned up. Who do you try and take down first? Your options are;
God.
Strengths: omniscience, omnipotence, smiting.
Weaknesses: arrogance, jealousy, obviously contradictory attributes.
Holy Spirit.
Strengths: can make you pregnant unexpectedly in some Gospel continuities.
Weaknesses: unknown, but seems kind of wussy.
Jesus.
Strengths: could turn all water in your body into wine.
Weaknesses: holes in wrists, ankles limit mobility. Can probably be kneed in balls.

It's that manifestation-as-a-dove thing, isn't it? Don't be fooled: He proceeds from the Father (and the Son, if you're down with the filioque), and a later model is bound to be an improvement on the prototypes.
