Man's ways or thoughts or ways cannot adequately define God!


Glenn's sayings;



Man's ways or thoughts or ways  cannot adequately define God!

God is beyond man's finite ability to form a complete understanding of. There is no human language, English, Greek, Arabic, Hebrew or any other that can communicate the absolute truth about God! If we do give what we think are absolutes about God, we are creating idols and when people accept our explanations about God as truth...we set up idols that people worship and we cause them to become idolaters.

God is far beyond any human language to comprehend. Man's finite explanations that we think and speak and write to try to communicate ultimate reality of God are only symbols, not reality in themselves. These symbols are limited to our human reasoning, understanding and our earthly fabrication of things we are familiar with. The reality as to who the infinite God is cannot fit into man's finite understanding.

Our conception of God is understood through things of earth that we already know and project upon him? We cannot conceptualize outside of our own familiar concepts therefore, we apply those concepts to God. The explanations we tell each other about God are not God, they are only pictures to keep us wondering and growing.

Man's theology, the bible record, and our preconceived ideas about God are not TRUTH, they should point ud towards the TRUTH...Jesus.

The only things we can know about God that we can say is absolute is what is revealed to us by Jesus...His express image...neither the prophets of old, the prophets of new, man's interpretation of the writers who penned the scriptures and the writers who translated the scriptures into English and other languages...Jesus is the ONLY express image of God, the only absolutes of God are revealed through Him.

His view of God is LOVE...GOD IS LOVE...LOVE IS IN YOU...God is in you!

All other views are painted word pictures by sainted men, that more often than not are tainted because they only see through the "glass darkly" of religious traditional spectacles!

DO NOT FORSAKE THE ASSEMBLING OF YOURSELVES TOGETHER! by David Yeubanks

“Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together" (Hebrews 10:25), is a common verse cited by Christians who believe that if you're not attending weekly meetings or plugged in a church denomination that you are somehow out of sync with Scripture and, for all practical purposes, "backsliding". Some refer to the out of church crowd as rebels, or the walking wounded and this verse is often given as the prescription. But is "attending church" really what the author of Hebrews had in mind here? YES THE BIBLE SAY’S NOT TO FORSAKE THE ASSEMBLING TOGETHER? NOTICE IT DOES NOT SAY DO NOT FORSAKE THE "ASSEMBLY" OR CHURCH BUILDING. First of all, it is essential that we understand the meaning of the word "church" as it is used in the Bible. These comments, while being historically and biblically sound, are not meant to suggest that Christians should not meet together, share fellowship, pray or preach the Word of God. If that is the conclusion

A Bloggers Take on "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God" and "Hell".

HAPPY DADS AND THE HORRORS OF HELL by Jeff Turner Jonathan Edwards once said the following words: “Reprobate infants are vipers of vengeance, which Jehovah will hold over hell, in the tongs of his wrath, till they turn and spit venom in his face!” Elsewhere, Edwards asked the question: “Can the believing father in Heaven be happy with his unbelieving children in Hell?” Now, a bit of clarification: Edwards is not referring to God when he speaks of the “believing father in Heaven”. Rather, he is speaking an earthly father who enters Heaven, while His children are sentenced to an eternity in Hell. One would assume that Edwards’ answer to this question would be something akin to, “Nay! And a thousand times nay!”. Unfortunately, his answer was as follows: “…it [the sight of his children in Hell] will increase rather than diminish his bliss.” To be honest with you, I’m not sure if I’ve ever read more demonic, and putrid words in all of my life. I have a level of respec

The Abusive Tool of Fear-Mongering.

Image
  Fear mongering is an abusive tool used by religion which cripples and limits one's spiritual growth to mature to the full stature of Christ. The fear mongering propaganda that is used as a means to get people saved speaks volumes about the quality of love used to try and scare people to become Christ followers. The scriptures declare that is is the “goodness of God that leads to repentance.” Another characteristic of  fear mongering believers is that they believe that natural disasters are God’s doing and are warnings or punishment for the sin of sinning people. Their sin consciousnesses has blurred their God consciousnesses to where they see God as the big bad wolf waiting to pounce on somebody for sinning. Natural disasters have happened at different times throughout history. Theses events have been used by money hungry fear-mongers to write books of impending doom, passed of as the gospel by using out-of-context scripture verses to validate the acceptance and sale of t
