If you're on God's side, then do what His Word says.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11828418357428958178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4799401786815294548.post-86015035138411802522013-01-18T23:57:22.741-07:002013-01-18T23:57:22.741-07:00Absolutely there are several names for God in the ...Absolutely there are several names for God in the bible alone - El, Elshaddi, Elohim, Y-W- (Jehovah being a poor mistranslation of Y-W-), Adonai, Logos (although a later Greek interloper). All these names and many, many more outside the bible speak to the multiplicity of human experience of the sacred. <br /><br />Taken one way they can point to disbelief and that is a legitimate conclusion. Taken another, they can point to the search to name that which supports the cosmic evolution of life. Whether you put a center of consciousness in it or not I think we can agree that life is "more than me" and this "more" is very exciting to connect with - regardless of the name or no-name we might attach to it.<br /><br />We are not adversaries but fellow seekers, let's learn from each other - it makes the journey far more interesting. Thank you so much for sharing and shining light on this exciting aspect of sacred identity.David K.

I do advocate scritpural interpretation as conversation with faithful ancestors where we also are welcomed and invited to understand our experience as the word of God as well. It is this nexus of scripture and human experience that gives rise to dyanmic and deep understandings of God.

God is unchanging, the God of Moses WAS and IS the God of Joshua, and He still reigns RIGHTEOUSLY on His throne....<br /><br />You need to read the scripture and repent!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
