THREAD CLOSED BY OP
When I started this thread it was intended to be a blessing.
The heart of the opening post is the comment
And yet, we’re so prone to content ourselves with symbols like the Ark which point us to God – words, songs, parables which resonate with us, similes and metaphors, ideas about him, all of which give us some emotional fulfilment. But we don’t press beyond the symbols to encounter the unimaginable God who draws near us through them, this God of whose awesomeness Greg Haslam rightly reminds us.
Why do we not see more of God’s glory? Partly, I suspect because we satisfy ourselves with the symbols and don’t press beyond them.
Sadly it has developed into a battlefield. A place where members apprear to be attempting to score points off each other.
That is not the aim of this forum and was not the intention of this thread.
As OP I have therefore decided to close the thread?
