Man wants to understand God.
Man desperately tries to understand God.
Man thinks that more words to explain God will help us understand God.
–
Man wants God to fit our thinking.
Man wants God to be like us.
We assign human factors to God. *
Man wants to make God to be in our image.
Since Almighty God does not, will not, fit the many terms (boxes) we have created for Him—and since man knows there is God—and since man must have a god, man is compelled to create gods that do fit what we say god should be.
There is a fine line, parallel, between theologians creating extra-biblical terms to explain the God of the Bible
AND
Pagans creating hundreds of obviously ridiculous gods to worship and make sacrifice to please their god(s).
In reality, which is more ridiculous—having the Truth and adding to it—or not having the Truth and inventing it ?
And, important point, pagans are not limited to places where they actually craft wood and stone and metal objects to worship.
‘Theologians’ of all stripes create their explanations for what they worship—and then worship their explanations.
The educated God (god) scholars have invented boxes for each of their well-defined doctrines—
—and man, by nature, buys it
THE ONLY BOX FIT FOR GOD IS THE BIBLE ! ! !
They vehemently defend their ‘sacred doctrines’ like they come straight from the Bible.
How about just organic “straight from the Bible” ?
Proof of straight from the Bible or not—Does the average listener know which words from the theologians are God’s Words and which are man’s words ?
That distinction is blurred !—
—MUCH TO OUR SPIRITUAL DETRIMENT!
AND, accepting theologians’ wording as ‘gospel truth’ leads to more depending on their words—more than digging in God’s Word.
- person, “three persons, one essence”, “unity and diversity”, “revealed truth” not in the Bible “that invites believers into a deeper relationship with God”
