I read the article when it came out and wondered how someone could think of God in just one way.<br />I agree with Josiah and have had the same thoughts before. I think many people limit their view of God to being "outside" their box. Thinking God is so much bigger then their world and their means they cannot possibly make difference or be used by him. When if you let God in your little box, and do what you can with your knowledge and means God has given you then he can take your action in your own little world and do enormous things outside your box you didn't know were possible. You bring dinner for 2 he feeds 5000. You put God in a box when you even start to draw the line.Jessenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5746468652435913462.post-65516989578963122652010-10-13T06:15:59.240-04:002010-10-13T06:15:59.240-04:00Hey, Postmodern Redneck!

Finite we are and prone to over simplification,as well, eh?<br /><br />I don't remember that moment from <i>Perelandrai</i>, but that's a terrific allusion. Thanks for reading <i>and</i> commenting!<br /><br />Josiah, thanks for reading your ol'dad's blog. I so enjoy hearing your ruminations! The insight into your thoughts is rewarding for me in more than a few ways.<br />Yes, He has purposefully boxed us and meets us there. Your thought on His "distance" is not where I am headed, but therein lies the value of hearing many voices. I'll try to have the next post up by week's end.dedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04110715735805987539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5746468652435913462.post-83110675284981289672010-10-13T06:05:09.924-04:002010-10-13T06:05:09.924-04:00Wow i love you blog its awesome nice colors you mu...Wow i love you blog its awesome nice colors you must have did hard work on your blog.

In essence I came to the same conclusion as you all the cited adjectives can be used to describe Him. <br /><br /><br />*I would venture to guess that Froese supports Obama is aiming at the Tea Party in saying they do not believe in a belevont God. <br /><br />*Earlier this week I walked and thought- God is beyond our boxes so far in fact that He cannot be constrained to being outside the box. He also meets us in the box.Josiahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07707515903493183511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5746468652435913462.post-9975315015649621332010-10-10T22:50:18.851-04:002010-10-10T22:50:18.851-04:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Prahladhttp://www.visionjobcare.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5746468652435913462.post-60036978328449428212010-10-10T18:25:00.567-04:002010-10-10T18:25:00.567-04:00I've been too busy--you actually snuck two blo...I've been too busy--you actually snuck two blog posts past me! (we're also down to one computer again due to a hard drive that no longer works).<br /><br />I've always appreciated Schaeffer's distinction that our finite minds cannot know the infinite God exhaustively, but we can know substantially. Along with that, C.S. Lewis' "Perelandra" incident where an angelic being tells the hero after he asked a question "There are no receiving places in your mind for the answer to that."Postmodern Redneckhttp://www.postmodernredneck.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
