Did i just compare Christ to a internet avatar... The way the holy ghost interacts makes me think it may be Gods Admin account
Hi. Thanks. God and an avatar are immaterial. Jesus was a material being. By definition a material being is limited and finite, the Christian god unlimited and infinite and an avatar abstract ( although the difference between something immaterial and abstract is a fine one). Therefore Jesus was not an avatar
An god's avatar is a being that represents that god on the planet that he wants to represent, he is technically a god but he is limited as the body of the being he's in, it doesn't matter how infinite he is and how big, the avatar represents a deity, it is the deity, but not the entirety of the being.
That's how things are in book of fictions i usually read, i especially liked it's use in the Id'hun memories triology, the god takes over a dead body, the dead body recovers and acts like the person it was in life but it gains god-like powers, and the objectives of the god, and also the love for his servants.
