i INCLUDE A SECTION FROM CHAPTER 5 OF MY BOOK:
“in the word of god and the mind of man ronald nash explored the extent to which the human mind can receive and understAND DIVINE REVELATION OF TRUTH. THE HUMAN MIND IS UNIQUE IN PARTICIPATING INTERACTIVELY WITH THE ETERNAL lOGOS OF GOD, JESUS CHRIST. BY HIS RESURRECTION AND GLORIFICATION HE PROVIDES FOR THE INDWELLING AND COUNSELING OF REPENTANT PEOPLE AT THE LEVEL OF THE HUMAN SPIRIT AND SOUL’S MIND. NASH ASKED IF A RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE HUMAN MIND AND THE DIVINE MIND EXISTS THAT IS SUFFICIENT TO GROUND THE COMMUNICATION OF TRUTH FROM GOD TO HUMANS. HE CITED CARL F. H. HENRY WHO STATED THAT MAN WAS CREATED IN THE DIVINE IMAGE FOR AN INTELLIGIBLE, INTERACTIVE COMMUNICATION WITH GOD. HE FURTHER IDENTIFIED THE KEY TO UNDERSTANDING THE REALITY OF INTERACTION BETWEEN THE MIND OF GOD AND THE MIND OF MAN, THE ETERNAL LOGOS, JESUS CHRIST. HE ‘MEDIATES ALL DIVINE REVELATION AND GROUNDS THE CORRESPONDENCE BETWEEN THE DIVINE AND HUMAN MINDS.’ THE CORRESPONDENCE ENABLES A HUMAN UNDERSTANDING OF THE DIVINE COMMUNICATION OF TRUTH. GOD CREATED MAN AS A RATIONAL CREATURE WHOSE FORMS OF THOUGHT CORRESPOND TO THE LAWS OF LOGIC SUBSISTING IN THE MIND OF GOD. THAT GOD ENDOWED HUMANS WITH HIS IMAGE INCLUDES A STRUCTURE OF REASON THAT REFLECTS GOD’S OWN REASON. FURTHERMORE, HUMAN BEINGS AS RATIONAL CREATURES POSSESS INNATELY AND UNIQUELY THE CAPACITY TO THINK CREATIVELY AND TO USE ADVANCED LANGUAGE. LANGUAGE IS A GIFT THAT FACILITATES THE PERSONAL AND COGNITIVE COMMUNION BETWEEN GOD AND HUMANS.”
