We all worship the same God *hides behind podium *
Note to Mod or Admin. I may of placed this in the wrong area, please feel free to move it.
God and the blind Tailors
I am an open theist Christian minister,(aka neo-theism) ‘church’ owner and proprietor of two NP Christian humanitarian missions. I managed to make it through seminary and receive my MA a couple of decades ago. Just a little background.
~ forward as they say;
I think religions are only attempts to assign attributes to the creator of the universe. We all worship the same God whether we know it or not! What I mean by that kind of blasphemous statement is best understood by a metaphor. Imagine a model (God) is being fitted for a suit of clothes (the religions) by freshmen student tailors at the local university.
Well after a few days all the students have their suites (religions) ready of the model (God) to try on. None fit perfectly, but some are nearly perfect. And the worst ones are like a potato sack! Well of course being a Christian I feel that my students suit fit’s the very best! The cut and style is nearly perfect.
So you see even though the other religions do not describe God more closely they are not as right as my religion is. I choose the Hebrew God (rather God chose me). I hope this makes some sense, although it won’t solve many problems perhaps it will shed some light on my beliefs.
