I suppose now you want me to explain how one goes from what-could-be-no-other-way to seeing Divine Love and Wisdom as the very foundation of the reality. Sure. I'll just condense 40 years of my theological reflection and private study into a couple sentences <sarcasm> :-) I cannot do that and besides you have your own wisdom that has gotten you this far through life. Who am I to say otherwise? I can point you in the what I think is the right direction, but personally I do not think you're interested because you keep tying to proof-text me.
The Christian tradition, very early on, expressed itself in various Creeds; is your faith beyond that, a simple declaration of what you believe & profess?? And, yes, as you know, the Church very much argued over the meaning of its Creeds, but, I am not asking for that here.
