Thank you for this wonderful comment!
I agree, we are passing from the age of the Mythic God to what we might call the Quantum God. Hmm... got my thinker goin' again, Xeno!

you are among millions who reject the accepted explanations
because the accepted explanations lack validity.
they were developed at a time when all the knowledge that people had did not contradict them, and an institution that broached no opposition.
however, as scientific discoveries gave us new explanations, the old were exposed to the knowledgeable as being the invalidities that they really were.
however, the bulk of believers had and do have and will have tremendous difficulty with the change -- and that is where the problem arises and will arise.
on the positive side, more and more people are discarding the old explanations that have been shown to be invalid.
here's to the new God, which always has been God, and here's to the passing of the old, static, impotent, mythical old god of classic religion, which is a creation of human imagination.
let us continue to discover the real God.

Thank you for reading and commenting, BC-A!
I will go look at your blog.
In fact, Tolkien and Lewis were both members of the Inklings, their writers' club. A challenge was challenged, for each of them to write a fantasy story, one with a Christian and the other with a non-Christian foundation. They flipped a coin to decide who would do which one, so the story goes. The Lord of the Rings and The Chronicles of Narnia resulted from that challenge.

Thanks Sam!
Lucky for me, this is neither the time nor place of Inquisitions or stakes in the marketplace. And no one I want for a friend will hold this statement against me, no matter how much they disagree!

An eloquent and thoughtful exposition of your faith! Even if I don't share it...

Your posting's interesting. Ciel, you have a good attitude that shows intelligence and thought. Although I believe that Jesus will come again, I believe that the Book of Revelation's about the abuses that were committed by the Christian church in the first century. The origins of God and the universe are beyond me. In this way that early civilizations also thought of sacrifice, the need for one to make up for the behavior and actions of humans must parallel the moral law that governs the universe. Scifi writer and theologian C.S. Lewis theorized the concept in an essay. Personally, I think that the moral law's the will of God. I only know His gender from what the Bible tells us. However, the concept of what God looks like is beyond me. The New Testament says that we've seen the father because we've seen His son. I believe that God and Jesus are the same being. After the moment that I die, I'm going to tell God that I only know of the sacrifice of Jesus for me. It's easy. If you scroll down my blog a bit, I wrote a casual article about the first film in the Lord of the Rings series. It's not a review or in film anlysis form. Tolkien was a friend of C.S. Lewis. Some of the concepts that I've mentioned I compare to the film. Otherwise, I'm cool, mainline, and write fiction for entertainment purposes. I can only afford one blog. Take care.
