THEOLOGY OF PAUL<br />

M.M.NINAN<br />

___________________________________________________________<br />

Joh 14:6-7 Jesus said to him, I am the Way, and the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father<br />

except through Me. If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; and from now on you<br />

do know Him, and have seen Him.<br />

The Kabbalists developed this concept into a full model of reality, using the tree to depict a "map" of Creation.<br />

The Zohar explains the term "Ein Sof" as follows: Before He gave any shape to the world, before He produced any<br />

form,<br />

He was alone, without form and without resemblance to anything else.<br />

Who then can comprehend how He was before the Creation?<br />

Hence it is forbidden to lend Him any form or similitude<br />
