I have no image in my mind for God at all. Not even the ‘old white haired man with a long beard’ one…..

Even in a book study once we all had to say who we prayed to – I realized that I did not pray to one of the trinity alone. I kind-off aimed for the middle of the triangle.

So my image for God is probably “the unseen one”.

How the Spirit came down or looked, I think is one of the mysteries that we cannot know – probably way more weird in the original Greek. But it did happen, and I think that is the important issue.

And I firmly believe the languages the apostles spoke, were known languages of the time and not some gibberish that we now find in some so-called charismatic churches. I just do not believe we have a God that would play senseless games with us.

I knew an old man who went to hear Karl Bart speak, even though he knew he would not understand a word the German said (he just had great admiration for his work as a theologian).
However, on his return to his wife, he could tell his wife the whole speech. That is when the Holy Spirit allows us to have the gift of languages.

Lindsay! You are not blogging in a vacuum, just in case you were worried. I am running around like a chicken with my head cut off today, but over the next few days I will have maaaannnny hours in the car to read. And then internet access when we arrive in FL. I might possibly even have some thoughts or questions?

I think the reason Jesus had to go, is one of the mysteries of our faith that we just have to accept.
It has to be part of a grand overall plan / scheme that God has for how the history of our little piece of eternity will play out.

I do not think we need to be watching the clouds – I have great faith in the fact that we will KNOW when He returns and it will be a glorious time!!

If God told us when He is coming again in the form of Jesus, it will probably be human nature to have a lot of debauchery until a few days before the date. Kind of would take our free choice to choose for Him, out of the picture.
