What Do You Think About God?
So what are the issues that need to be looked at?
First, there is one's concept of God. The
Hebrew scriptures begin with these words: "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. A few paragraphs later read, "So God created human beings in his own image, in the image of God he created them; make and female he created them."
ARE THESE WORDS TO BE TAKEN LITERALLY?
IS THERE A TRANSCENDENT, POWERFUL CREATOR WHO NOT ONLY CREATED THE UNIVERSE BUT MADE MAN IN HIS IMAGE?
OR IS IT SIMPLY TO BE TAKEN AS AN HEBREW MYTHOLOGY?
Your answer to those questions will have a profound impact on your self-perception and how you live your life. If you agree that God exist as the creator and sustainer of the universe, the next question is "Has God spoken?"
The Christian scriptures affirm, "In the past God spoke to our forefathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom he made the universe. The Son is the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful words. After he had provided purification for sins he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven:"
WHAT HAS HE SAID AND HOW HAVE I RESPONDED TO HIS MESSAGE?
These are fundamental questions that need to be answered honestly.
