[ In my view the doctrines and traditions of men are often the result of man trying to understand God using his own reasoning. If he goes that route, he invariably anthropomorphizes God into a small imagining of a "god" his puny, mortal mind can comprehend. ]

I have always been uncomfortable with the word God, being the small and puny God of a mortal mind.. Can a landscape understand its creator its painter?.. I paint landscapes and what would/could those paintings(if possible) concieve of me and my problems/challenges/tasks..

What if.... humans are not flesh at all but are spirit(s) made of the same stuff God is made of..

And the LORD God formed man [of] the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. - Genesis 2:7

To me, God is like a master artist and Creation is His living canvas.

I think some of the misunderstanding that we get into is putting limits on God.

We seem as Christians to say that The Bible is the Word of God, but do not realize that the Universe is also the word of God, to study the Universe and the way it works is not to deny The Biblical word of God, quite the contrary It is studying the word of God.
