oriented first aid CLERGY COMMENT LOCAL CLERGYMEN DISCUSS MYSTICS PRAYER He was no Christian fly Il JOHN it Immanucll Church There was a mystic in the Middle Ages who prayed I pray God rid me of God He was able to pny that way a true Christian He did not believe in the true God His prayer reveals instead that his beliefs wtrt that God exists as a from the treated world He would have made rial Hindu But he was no Christian There Is only one true God He is the God who has revealed Himself by inspiring holy men to write the Bible Tilt true Cod is one God but three I the I- Son and the Holy Ghost Matthew Cod also revealed Himself by the Son becoming incarnate but we know Jesus through the Word Any other god is a false god Any other worship is idolatry Unbelievers have often asked Christians w the one true God did not reveal Himself in a way that was Immediately clear to everyone on earth but only through the events recorded in Bible and the inspiration of the Bible itself Of course God existence and power are revealed to all men through the existence of creation But the knowledge of the Triune God and If is grace is only in and through the Word Why The only answer is that God chose to do it that way We can only trust His wisdom love in this matter has also commanded that His Word be proclaimed throughout the world Matthew The very fact lhat God commanded this to be done shows that Christianity is the one true religion It Is the only religion R id us of the false idols which knows ind worship the one true God No credit for receiving this revelation Roes to man God the glory for it alt Can we describe God Yes we can Wt cannot completely define God for He is beyond full comprehension by our limited human intellects Bui Just because we cannot fully understand Him docs not mean that we cannot understand Him at all We say God is and then follow it up with many adjectives and nouns net adjectives and nouns of our own thinking and choosing but those adjectives and nouns with which God has chosen to describe Himself for us in lis Word the Bible For particular nouns and adjectives describing God consult has a lot to say about God and it Is all true The most important thing we can say about God is that Man Virgin llveda perfect life died on Ihc cross making a totally sufficient sacrifice for the sins of whole world and truly rose again on the He died for

In mv column 1 responded to a Toronto Star on Crusader comic books by calling the on editor an agnostic That writer lorn Ihrpur has offence The I must v ledt itlls us not to judge other souls I must log lie for doing so By The He I I and St A medieval Christian mystic had a priyir shocked me when I first read it I pray God rid God to see that it is an excellent for us to pray One of the curses of religion throughout the ages has that different religious groups and denominations have insisted that their Cod is the God And some thinking people have said That If there is only one God how can he appears so differently to Ihese people So they have shunned organized religion as a stumbling They hive rejected the various Gods presented by the I urge you today to examine the way think about Ihe If reject religion are you really rcjeclinj God or just a religious idea which you tan stomach you object to the little Jesus meek and mild kind of idea or maybe the Idea of a Resident Policeman in the sky just I turn or it could be that to talk about some great Heavenly Parent is far too romantic for As an adult though It is right for to question such child like When Moses child like curiosity brought him lo the was what God should be called The answer come back I that is who I am Moses must torn at his ha r in frustration I only asked a simple question But the lesson of this is that when we in the churches presume to God Is followed a string of adjectives and nouns we say too much and too never the list because no list of words will ever be enough to exhaust all the possibilities Ml tan rtall say is that God is who he is per and tint he came to th world ill Jesus Christ to show us ho we art to bring us to life Our words will always be insufficient the of God Jesus Christ him we must proclaim He it is who may bring us to our senses and rid us of childish fanlasties Let us pray God to rid us of all Ihc idols to which we the name God and replace them with his truth TV The Mod I
