GODOLOGY, WEEK 5
Chapter 5 dealt with one of the most important, yet often overlooked attributes of God: His holiness. We talk more about God’s love, grace, mercy, etc, yet doesn’t the Bible seem to talk a lot about holiness? This means we’ve been missing something, and I am grateful to Christian George for bringing this to our minds in this chapter. The chocolate image may be a bit confusing. His point is to show that holiness, like cocoa the Aztec’s used, is pure, untainted, even seperate from everything else. God is completely seperate from us; He has nothing in Him broken, nothing needing a little work. God is perfect and outside anything we can ever put words to describe. But we are called to be holy, as He is holy. So here is the question I leave you with: how do we do that?
So far as I am reading the first little bit, I can get an idea of knowing that God is way to powerful for to come close to. I guess that God also likes chocolate since the Aztecs offered it to him, I’m guessing those people where a little crazy since the baptist people in, but that would be so awsome today though. Chocolate for them, is like money for us today. We offer it to God when we take up offering, and people are crazy about it. When it mentions I decide one way, and act another, I think teens today are like that when we try to be Christians. Like you say you will pray and read your bible, you decide that, but you do not do it, I’m guilty of it also.
