I suspect there is a tendency among Christians to quite literally throw away whole sections of Scriptures which their minds cannot reconcile using mortal reasoning.

That makes me very sad because then it is not God Who is being worshipped, but one's concept of God - a smaller "god" the mind can comprehend.

Of all the myriad "observer problems" anthropomorphizing God is the most costly.

No one comes to the son unless the father draws them.. One sows the seed, another waters, but God gives the increase..

A spirit seeks its own level.. what being human is all about.. All humans are spirits..
Where a spirit is, is exactly where its supposed to be..
Manifesting "what/who" it really is.. What a plan..
ALL human(spirits) live forever.. somewhere..

In a New heaven, a New earth, or possible even a New Hell..
What a plan.. An amazing plan.. We are all being qualified..
For WHAT?.. Now thats a good question...
