the spatial reign

In all paradoxes of faith; God-and-man, already-and-not-yet, predestination-and-free-will, perichoresis is a persistent motif. There is also a subtle paradox in the believer’s body as a temple and temple as the body of Christ (Eastern Theosis+Western Ecclesiology?).

Perichoresis deals with a life-inside-life, a spatial transcendence. and this omnipresent transcendence, is manifest in His solidarity. Where the trembling heights of the furthest heavens did not deter His being here with us, fighting death till death so life will live. Where spatial distance are not ignored, but pulled in the gravity of embrace.

this is why God is not a god of the gaps, not a god of the death, nor a creator ex nihilo. He operates in space, orchestrates the living, and creates order out of the wicked chaos. His being here, is His perfect speed.
