The book of Genesis says that God created us in “their image” (plural) and of course the assumption is that the “our” that’s spoken of means the trinity. And maybe one day someone will be buy prada kids shoes able to explain the trinity so that we humanoids can buy prada kids shoes grasp it. I have my interpretations and explanations, but what do I know (for sure)? Let me share some sobering thoughts that buy prada kids shoes will hopefully increase your faith or at least the urgency to buy prada kids shoes continue the journey.
As the philsopher has said, God created us in His image (no gender intended) and we returned the favor and created God in our image!
Honesty and intellectual integrity demands that we agree!
There’s no buy prada kids shoes wonder that religious fundamentalists see the book used by Christians, called the buy prada kids shoes Bible, is inspired and God-breathed, otherwise the book (a library of books actually) is buy prada kids shoes no more than MAN giving words to his thoughts of and buy prada kids shoes about God. If God is who we think the Creator is, then buy prada kids shoes the only way that we can talk about God is with METAPHORS!
Finite man cannot come close to articulating what INFINITENESS is.
When I sit in front of my sun-bathed window free from buy prada kids shoes the cold of the morning air, thoughts run through my head about the buy prada kids shoes true nature of this God that WE have created! When we see the buy prada kids shoes awesome violence in the world wherein thousands of people have their limbs cut off with a buy prada kids shoes machete, I have to wonder about how this works in a buy prada kids shoes world created by a loving God.
When I see suicide bombers freely kill themselves and buy prada kids shoes dozens of others that they might spend eternity with cosmic virgins, I have buy prada kids shoes to ask just how delusional we have ebcome in reference to buy prada kids shoes a diety such as that? More fundamentally, when buy prada kids shoes I see my loved ones suffer incredible pain from cancer, heart problems, and buy prada kids shoes a myraid of other ailments, I have to get gut-level honest with the buy prada kids shoes absence of action by God.
And then I ask? Does God intervene at all? Tell me about that- your experience.
How does God pick and buy prada kids shoes choose to whom He-She-It will help, heal, or hover over in time of need? We ALL have created a God in OUR OWN IMAGE. But that buy prada kids shoes IMAGE that we embrace most often has been sold to us, packaged and buy prada kids shoes merchandized, by the church. Have you reviewed the history of the buy prada kids shoes church? And this is our source material? We need a COMMUNITY to do life. If the trinity tells us anything, there’s a concept to embrace (community) .
I’m still creating my God, but let me share briefly what buy prada kids shoes mold I’ve fashioned so far.
1-God is love prada jeweled bag- beyond any concept that we have of that four-letter word.
2-Creation can buy prada kids shoes not be by accident nor malevolent, though that does not rule out some evolutionary principles or buy prada kids shoes creationism in foundational ways.
3-All is buy prada kids shoes spirit, frequency, wave, particle, and light and will one day return to buy prada kids shoes the Source.
4-Stuff (you know the 40-letter word) happens! And if there was ever a truth in Matthew, it would be 5:45.
5-God and buy prada kids shoes life is a mystery to be pursued, studied, enjoyed, and passionately embraced. I’m afraid the buy prada kids shoes ego is just going to have to suck it up and buy prada kids shoes be content with not knowing, although there ae numerous denominations that buy prada kids shoes are sure they have it all figured out and they can’t wait to inform you of such.
I want around me people who buy prada kids shoes have divergent and diverse view of God so that iron might sharpen iron, but that buy prada kids shoes also demands a communtiy of people who buy prada kids shoes love one another enough to realize with my pain is buy prada kids shoes their pain, my victories are their victories, and who live a buy prada kids shoes life of mercy and forgiveness.
In other words, while we all have created God “in our image”, but there is buy prada kids shoes one who gave us the best picture of God that I know of and buy prada kids shoes His name was Jesus. He became the Christ and He lived in an buy prada kids shoes era 2,000 years ago from which we must mine the principles that buy prada kids shoes are applicable to 2008. And not all of the things He did are in the Bible sale prada briefcase! Did I mention that’s not an buy prada kids shoes easy job either because the church has also created Jesus in “their corporate image” as well. I have buy prada kids shoes many good images from my church training. And then I have buy prada kids shoes some serious not so good ones as well.
How’s the pottery work going for you? Need some major reshaping?
