Tozer chapter 7.

Today I will be doing the same thing as on chapter 6, so if you have not seen the website I will be talking from, please go to the link in the previous blog.

1) Tozer quotes from C.S. Lewis where he sees time as a line with two end points on a plane stretching out infinitely, and God can see everything in time as one time. If this was so, then why did the Israels before Christ came have to live differently and by different standards as after Death? If time for God is one thing, why would one point have to live by different standards as another?

2) on p. 41, Tozer says that within us cries for life... I wonder if this is why people always try to put our knowledge onto other creatures, wether they be fictional or nonfictional. You are always seeing even things like toys and animals depicted as being able to think for themselves, and nit relying on animal instinct. Not too long ago I say a commercial for a new movie about what pets do when their owners leave. Those pets were depicted as being able to think, doing thinks like talking to each other and purposefully doing things like turning on the TV. I'm not saying animals don't have any way of thinking, but I am saying that we are constantly putting our abilities into other things, craving for other life. Now, I know most of this is comical, but we also are looking of life in space in a non comical way, so it can't just be jokes.

3) I am currently learning about ancient civilizations in school, but the fact that God is then and helping people then right now blows my mind. It's hard to think that God is answering every prayer at once. I think I now understand the phrase where to God 1000 years is like a day, and a day is like 1000 years

As usual, if you are interested in the questions or topics I will be blogging on, please go Here.

1) Toward the bottom of page 33 of The Knowledge of the Holy, the last paragraph states that if every man were to become atheist, basically God just wouldn't care. Tozer says that it would not effect God in any way. This seems contradictory to the nature God has shown us. God is consistently helping us out and taking care of us. I do not understand this, and would like some insight to this.

2) At the beginning of the second paragraph on page 34, I love the phrase, "God does not need our help." So often do we want to "fix " God. We want to do it our way, for we believe that we know what needs to be done or we just plain out don't like God's plan, and so often do we realize that God has things under control. I often come to this conclusion.

3) This ties with 2, but I recently was dealing with something, and I decided that I was going to fix myself, but by the  end of it, I realized that if I just gave it to God, He would deal with it, and He did.

I will be answering questions from the same place, so if you want to see them, please go HERE.

2) I dislike this, for this means that God is constantly having to pick up the mess I am leaving behind, but at the same time, I enjoy it because it means I am becoming a better person to better server God.

3) I understand sin as anything that goes against God's plans. I think Tozer touches on this when he starts with how man made himself the center of the universe, and not God. He also continues to touch on this throughout the chapter.

Please go Here for the questions

1) I believe what Tozer is trying to say is that the heart may be lead by the spirit rather than being lead through the faulty thoughts of the theological mind.

2) I completely agree with this, and think it important to define terms like attributes and God's being, for if we don't, then we will be thinking differently each and won't be able to further our study of God's character.
