Is it just the believers who think the only thing greater than themselves MUST be God or a god? Is there really nothing between us and God?
The only thing between us and God —is our belief—or unbelief. And that can either draw us closer to God—or it can turn us from Him. Also Satan ,that “prince of this world” he is between us and our salvation -or desires that position. Only things I can think are between the created and the CREATOR.
