- "There are still people who start from the categories -- Jesus is Lord, at the right hand of God the Father, who is pure, holy, and righteous -- and move from there to how Jesus, and the Spirit whom Jesus breathes on his followers, ought to (and therefore do -- after all, God can't break God's own laws!) behave. That puts God in a box."
