To me, Einstein's theology wasn't amateurish at all. Painfully honest.
God is unknowable. That's the honest truth.
You won't understand God by reading a book. That's the honest truth.
Put down the books and look around you, look outside, then you'll begin to understand God.
Einstein was able to prove things about physics that persuaded him that the universe moves according to predictable and knowable forces. That told him a lot about God, and it tells us all a lot about God.
Exactly!
You won't understand God by reading a book. That's the honest truth.
Despite Einstein's unbelief, God is such a personal and knowable God, He chose to become a human being in the person of Jesus Christ. It doesn't get any more personal and knowable than that.
Col 2:9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.
It has been traditionally thought by the originators of Western Civilization that the Holy Spirit inspired and preserved the Old and New Testament. It has been taught by the vast majority of the founders of our American Universities that the only valid revelation from the Creator is the Old and New Testament.
Mat 13:58 And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief.
Mat 8:7-10
7 And Jesus saith unto him, I will come and heal him.
8 The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof: but speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed.
9 For I am a man under authority, having soldiers under me: and I say to this [man], Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth [it].
10 When Jesus heard [it], he marvelled, and said to them that followed, Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.
This guy didn't fight authority as Americans with our "fairness doctrine" do.
Modern people are to full of ourselves to have the humility to accept God's authority. If we aren't the prime mover in our lives, it isn't fair. Glorifying victumhood is Academia's pride and joy (God isn't good to me therefore he doesn't exist).
Think it through; I know I need to regularly!
As always, your thoughts are succinct. We will not "discover" God simply by reading what others have written...we must experience Him.
