.unpacking the God box.


The (current) predominant perception of God suggests that God is:
  • Omniscient (all-knowing)
  • Omnipotent (all-powerful)
  • Impassable
  • Eternal
  • Immutable (unchanging)
This theory (called "classical theism") originated in the theology of Augustine (~4th c.) and has been expounded on by theologians and pastors ever since.

Let's get something clear: 
This perception has really messed up people
[and people's understanding of who God is]
-----------
With that in mind, know this:
Just because it was espoused by a single person 
and then talked about like it was absolutely True, 
doesn’t mean it has to be the Truth. 

Think about it. 
Who is God to you?
