Question: Who is the Queen of England?
Answer: Regardless of how sincere you believed it - if you said anything other than Elizabeth II you would be wrong.
Question: Who is God?
Is he some Spiritual force in nature? Is he a heavenly grandfather type figure? Is he the God of the Quran? Is he the God of the Bible?
Answer: At most only one of the above!
In today's multi-cultural society it seems the question of who God is has been left up to each individual to decide for themselves. We've put God is the dock and we've all become part of the jury trying to define who God is and what he is doing in the world.
If God is real, if we live in the world created by the God who is there, then trying to define him ourselves is futile. How can our imaginations of God affect a real living being?
As a Christian I anchor my definition of God in the bible which declares its words to be 'God breathed' (1 Tim 3v16). I believe that Gods Holy Spirit inspired forty different authors to write between them the Sixty-six different books [http://www.carm.org/bible/biblewhen.htm] which make up the Bible. I treat the bible as my yardstick, not to define God by my own ideas, but rather as the source where God has revealed himself to us.
In this blog, looking in the perfect infallible word of the Bible, I'm hoping to have conversations on the God who is there.
