Rob Bell Velvet Elvis Jump-Springs

The springs of a trampoline are like doctrine. The springs are not God nor Jesus the springs are statements of faith. The springs just help us understand more about God. The Trinity is an example of a a spring. The word trinity is never mentioned in the Bible not even once. The term Trinity was developed by human minds but the word helps us get a better grasp about the 3 parts of God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. The term just helps are finite minds grasp the concept better than before. Trinity is definitely an absolute term because God creates absolutes. Moses before going to see Pharaoh asks God who shall I asy sent me? God replies "I am". Even Gods name is so hard to comprehend that God just says call me "I am". God does not have a shape, no form, He is everywhere and everything. Our minds will never be able to grasp God. No one can ever come close grasping God. The very words we use to descibe God do not even do Him justice. The closest thing we can ever come to seeing God is His back the place he last was. The moment God can be pined down is the moment we are not dealing with God anymore. The springs of the trampoline help us give words for our minds to just grasp a glimpse of God. We can not follow this doctrine but the doctrine helps us follow the Master. Just take a second to thing about how big God really is? I could spend a lifetime trying to picture God and still not even come close. Amazing to think that I can call Him Father! so powerful
