This reminds me of Barth's dialectic of veiling and unveiling. And the wonderful thing is that God created language! "Inspiration & Incarnation" Great poem John.

Alas, USAmerican evangelicalism doesn't like what it can't control so they wring every drop of mystery out of God and his Word that they can.

Ah, yes, the word “mystery.” Alas, USAmerican evangelicalism doesn’t like what it can’t control so they wring every drop of mystery out of God and his Word that they can. The faith comes all flattened out and packaged for microwavable truth.

It's the sentiment that we've got God pegged that bothers me. Some streams of USAmerican evangelicalism act and speak like they have a corner on God. I think that is an arrogance of the highest order. J Ted Voigt,

Ted Voigt Sat, 22 Mar 2008 03:24:35 +0000 http://www.jesustheradicalpastor.com/the-shelter-of-words#comment-2365 Well said! This is a truth which I have learned and yet I wish I knew better. Sometimes I find myself disagreeing with someone about who God is and I have to stop and remind myself that there is a difference between who God is and what the word "god" means. I wrote a poem on a similar idea a few weeks ago- I put a link at the top of this comment, I'd love to hear what you think! Thanks! Well said!
