Krayola2:



[size=18pt]"When your intellect conceives of God, do not permit urself to imagine that there is a God that exists as depicted by you. For if you do this you will have a finite and corporeal conception of God, God forbid. Instead, your mind should dwell on the affirmation of God's existence and then recoil. To do more than this is to allow the imagination to reflect on God as God is in Himself and such reflection is bound to result in imaginative limitations and corporeality. Put reins therefore on ur intellect and do not allow it too great a freedom, but assert God's existence and deny ur intellect the possibility of comprehending God" 16th century kabbalist Moses cordevero[/size]

I think that every religionist should be made aware of this statement.

This is my reality, it is what my brain can make of what it sees and it unfortunately what I can work with, unlimited existence or pleasure is a mirage, my two cents.

why EXACTLY do I need the quote above?

Pastor AIO stated that every religionist must read this.

Yes.We must all learn to leave the purity of formlessness that is the nature of GOD alone and stop trying to label it,package it and own it like some manmade commodity,like the henotheistic religions like judaism,christianity and islam have done.What they have done,in effect,was to have created mere caricatures(mental graven images) of the formless purity of God.A blasphemy.
That is what the article is saying.Let us learn to leave God in it's purest form which is no form,no name,,,

nice one pastor,

God has placed his name in the bible (psalms 83:18) becuase he wants us to know him personaly and develop a personal relationship with him. How can we put faith in and trust with our whole heart and our whole soul someone we do not know? That is why Jehovah has given us his name and shown us his many qualities throughout the bible. For instance at 1 John 4:9 it tells us that God is love. At 2 Peter 3:9 -it speaks of God being patient and it also shows us how much he loves us. At Job 12:13 it says he is wise and mighty,he has councel, and he is understanding.

Gods word the bible has not only been given to us to inform us of Gods rules and intentions for our future but has also been given to us so that we may know who are heavenly father is and draw close to him.

Have you ever had a best friend, someone that you confide in and trust with your life, but yet you did not know their name or anything about them? Well how could Jehovah God have expected us to put our life, faith, and trust in him with just the understanding that we were created? Just like David said at Psalms 91:2 -You are my refuge and my stronghold. My God in whom I will trust, we want to feel the same way about God and to truly draw close to him we need to get to know him.

And yes we are instructed not to make graven images of anything that represents God or the heavens.We may think of items like statues of mary and jesus but wouldnt that also represent what many think of as the torture stake that Jesus died upon, the cross.
