God is infinite. We are not. Yet ...Hello Dr. Greg, <br />God is infinite. We are not. Yet we strive to create God in our image. It is our own fear and pride that drives this. In addition, some of the key attributes of God; His love, His grace, His mercy, from a rational point of view, are absurd. We have glimpses or hints of that kind of absurdity when we are loving, or graceful, or merciful to those who are neither deserving nor repay in kind. But when a parent loves a newborn (the perfect demonstration for selfishness), the parent is merely incarnating the image of God, and we do not think that love is absurd. It may be logical to square the holiness and righteousness of God against the payment of the cross of Jesus Christ. But at its heart, the motivation for that act is illogical, because love, mercy, and grace are illogical. <br />Grateful that God is, Larry QAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1239368619989119878.post-89450650327695363162012-09-03T04:36:19.885-07:002012-09-03T04:36:19.885-07:00Man approaches God as something below him.

He doesn't think about God as someone being over him, that's why he thinks God can be studied and comprehended by his cleverness of mind, like having a sample under man's microscope. It requires humility to truly know God, and that is acknowledging that He is not beneath but above our heads and minds.Patricianoreply@blogger.com
