The Theory of God

from iGod St Matthew-in-the-City · host Clay Nelson

Being a little thick Clay Nelson has trouble identifying with the kind of God portrayed in the Genesis creation story or the creation-like story of Jesus' baptism, so turns to another source for creation to sort it out. "The god in these two stories is not one you will hear much about at St Matthew’s. This is an external, objective, supernatural deity. This is a personal god that walks with us and talks to us in the cool of the evening. This god is not attached to creation but beyond it and yet able to intervene within it. This is an unknowable god beyond our reach but who still reaches down from heaven to bless or curse us at will. This god is the divine parent able to see all and know all about us and is intent on rescuing us from ourselves." Full text at http://www.stmatthews.org.nz/nav.php?sid=503&id=912
