No amount of believing that something is true can fake prada milano handbag actually make it so. What we need to concentrate on are fake prada milano handbag those foundational truths that are obviously the intent of God towards all. Here are fake prada milano handbag four to begin. Every man is related to God as creature to Creator. We are ALL related to God as objects of His love. We are agents of God’s will, however slight or fake prada milano handbag great that might be. And, we are related to God through prayer (or meditation-contemplation). And we have fake prada milano handbag acquired that position thanks to the personhood of Jesus. Man was made for fake prada milano handbag God and Jesus accepted that offer, fully! It is in God that man finds his fulfillment and completion. Isn’t that exactly what Jesus did?
The divinity of Christ is so much bigger than an historical fact; it is a “religious experience” and fake prada milano handbag an act of faith operating upon those historical facts. What is fake prada milano handbag focused, centered, and constant in Jesus is diffused, scattered, and sporadic in you fake prada milano handbag and I; but, there nonetheless! Jesus shows us how dependent we should be fake prada milano handbag on the living God. God made man “towards him” as St. Augustine said. Anything short of communion with God will leave a fake prada milano handbag hole in our soul. And, nothing will finally satisfy man but fellowship with God.
Nothing! 
Norman Pittenger reminded us (can you believe this guy wrote 90 books?) of the fake prada milano handbag role of the Holy Spirit in the intentions of God when fake prada milano handbag He said, “The Spirit works in men not to fake prada milano handbag destroy their human capacities and their God-given insight into truth, but to fake prada milano handbag confirm and to strengthen, to enlighten and inform, to correct and fake prada milano handbag enlarge those capacities and that insight.” I do not believe it was the “intention” of God that we take the burden upon ourselves to “get people saved”. Surely we need to fake prada milano handbag be available to be used as whatever vessel God so chooses.
But, using the words of William Porcher DuBose (1836-1918) an American priest and theologian in the Protestant Episcopal Church, “We think that fake prada milano handbag unless we can force our hearers to accept the precise language which seems to fake prada milano handbag us, or which has seemed even to the church itself in it’s official capacity, to fake prada milano handbag be correct, then we have not really managed to “convert” them.
It’s the Spirit!
And, it’s God operating IN Jesus, the Christ! God is seeking for others who can look “somewhat” like Jesus, the Christ who possessed His most intimate self-expression. And while I can’t see us (you and I) ever attaining to the level Jesus did, it’s God’s intention that we at least give that an honest effort. I’m not saying we can’t. I’m simply saying few even know that is what God’s intention is in the first place.
The synoptic gospels particularly paint a picture of Jesus (the man) alive in human characteristics, deep in His Jewish historical culture, always praying to fake prada milano handbag the Father and declaring Himself ignorant on the will of God in particular matters. He was a fake prada milano handbag man among men (and women) as you fake prada milano handbag and I; however, He became so much more, and encouraged us that fake prada milano handbag we could do even better than He!
How? I have not a clue. But if Jesus said it, it must be the intention of God!
Let’s give it a shot!
