Comments on: Who is God? http://www.thefloppyhat.com/2009/07/21/who-is-god/ The journey of two people towards PhDs and beyond Tue, 14 Dec 2010 04:15:06 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: John Anderson http://www.thefloppyhat.com/2009/07/21/who-is-god/comment-page-1/#comment-3707 John Anderson Tue, 21 Jul 2009 15:05:49 +0000 http://www.thefloppyhat.com/?p=303#comment-3707 Thanks for noting this, guys. It is indeed a puzzle to me how such a "pick and choose" mentality can exist on this issue. We all have our canon within a canon, sure, but my canon isn't very realistic (or interesting, for that matter) if it doesn't contain Job. Or the wrestling match with Jacob in Genesis. Or the notion of 'the ban' in the DH. God is a paradox, as you quote me as saying. It seems to me God enjoys traversing the boundaries that have been set for him. I have a second post up on this now as of today. Do check it out and comment. Thanks for noting this, guys. It is indeed a puzzle to me how such a “pick and choose” mentality can exist on this issue.
