Tonight I had undergone about two and a half hours in an Advanced English Grammar class and I found myself pondering about Yahweh, the Three in One God. How can this be? Well the teacher was telling about genders in the English language. We, French people, love to say that there is no genders (masc. or fem.) in English and even English grammar support this idea. But the reality is that there is genders in English. I know this might not interest the reader so much so I shall go right to the point.

The teacher explained that in English, a chair for example, is a noun that bears no gender at all, while a cat, is ONE noun that bears TWO “entities” which are FEMININE & MASCULINE. It’s not that cats themselves are both female and male cats, but rather, that the noun “cat” contains two opposite “entities”.

So it made me think about God, who is ONE, but THREE. But it’s sort of the opposite of the noun “cat”. It’s not that the ONE word “God” bears THREE “entities”, but God Himself who is THREE in ONE. I don’t know, but looking at the board, I was just making links from one simple concept to this great truth.

As well, last week in that same class, I was really impressed by the way the teacher explained something. I don’t remember exactly, but it was about ”believing in something that you can’t see”. No, we weren’t talking about God, but it was about young kids learning things like things in time (it was there, I can’t see it no longer, it reappears… I can’t see it no longer… hey! It must be somewhere…) type of thing. The teacher really looked like she was talking about believing in God, and I remember I was almost smiling how direct the link was. Especially when it was said ” it’s believing in something that you can’t see” and “It’s not because you can’t see something that it does not exist”. I just felt like “Man, isn’t it obvious! She really is talking about God! How can’t people see it?!” I guess the teacher did not have in mind what I had in mind, but it was a sweet little few minutes for me.
