Sophia as Sister-Spouse to Logos is a beautiful image, as well as the Lover relationship. I'm sure you're aware Song of Songs has that imagery.<br /><br />You've hit on the point that we often limit our metaphors for God even when the scriptures abound in them. Yeshua probably did not use the Father-Son metaphor nearly as much as our tradition indicates if you judge by comparing its frequency of occurrence between the earliest and latest gospels. With the exception of Luke, the use of "Father" for God increases dramatically from Mark to John, i.e. earliest to latest written. The term Father for God is used in Mark 4 times, in Luke 16 times, in Matthew 44 times, and in John 123 times!<br />Living the Eucharist in Wausau, WIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17053247329320740001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8562496626618398710.post-46137992194588321802012-11-04T20:45:46.426-08:002012-11-04T20:45:46.426-08:00I enjoyed this post.

I was especially intrigued that in Proverbs 8:30 Wisdom is both with God "as one brought up with Him," i.e., a Sister to Him, and also "daily His delight," which seems more like a Lover. For that reason in my own personal understanding of spirituality I conceive of Sophia as a sort of sister-spouse to Logos. I agree with what you are saying about each term referring to the Whole, and not a fragment or fraction of the Godhead. I think that thinking of Sophia as the Sister-Spouse however is not so much making Her into a separate Person as it is emphasizing a certain relational aspect of God's fullness. In both the brother-sister and the Lover-Lover relationships, as well as of course in the Parent-Child relationships and many, many others, there is a pathway toward understanding the Being of God.KiJjiKeTchme?https://www.blogger.com/profile/05250669317525746605noreply@blogger.com
