I had it as “saved but simple faith” thinking that Christ as priest saves and calls us to obey the law. The box probably better describes someone who worships images of Christ and keeps his law but, because there is no word to enlighten, that person can never really know why Christ died.

I use Open Office presentation (Powerpoint) to draw the diagrams. I then cut and paste the diagram into Acrosoft photo studio, where I save them as .jpg, which can then be uploaded.

Go well with your preparation. I’m doing all age “The King, the Snake and the Promise” on the fall.

Love the Venn Diagrams on this blog, Neil. (By the way, what software do you use to create them?)

The particularly illuminating overlap is “liberal” in Prophet / HP. To value the word of Christ, to recognise the need for grace, and yet not to want him as ruler.

We probably need to add that, much as with God’s simplicity, the only ground that really exists is (i) the centre of the diagram, (ii) right outside. That’s to say, “theological speculator” is what you get when you try to receive Christ as prophet but not as king or HP. However, in truth, this is not possible. The only kind of prophet we have in Christ is a kingly, high-priestly prophet, so to receive him as prophet but not to receive him as king / HP is actually not to receive him as a prophet at all.

Enough of my rambling. Have a good day – I’d better get back to preparing for Trinity Sunday…
