“What kind of car is that? “Not any kind, just a car!” ” Would this answer make sense to you? No. You cannot imagine a car that is not some kind of car. You would say that every car must be some kind. This is because all cars are kinds of cars. But this has not always been true. The very first car was the only car at the time, and it had no name. In the beginning there were no kinds of cars. This is true of the church.”
