How I choose to see God

I believe that God encompasses ideas like truth, charity, fairness, mercy, gentleness and forgiveness. His love surpasses all estimations that we have of what the possibility of His ways really are. His creativity therefore is incalculable and also infinite in it’s potential realization which means wherever it leads, however far it really goes, His ways are larger then our largest guesses.  

God too for me is the voice that instructs peace, that try’s to teach mankind to forgive his/her neighbor, and that tells us to go beyond and to love our enemy. God is the voice of hope in a world where our emotions, mental states, lived experiences, thoughts we hold individually and collectively, are up against and struggling against physical and ideological processes effecting our lives. We are therefore in this way struggling with interconnected with each other through the communicating of our mind to other minds which are minds in various ways damaged and misdirected by error and the degenerative and immoral states we find ourselves in.  

God I believe is the voice that teaches and brings about compassion that is taught to humanity when the message is not misunderstood. For whatever reason God is also distant and mysteriously hidden choosing to reveal Himself mystically only to us in glimpses but people really do experience Him make no mistake about that.  

Does God love all people of this world? When we look at other parts of humanity do people often respond with coldness of heart and decide that the others “ignorance of the truth” sets up real buriers to them really being loved eternally by God. Through our resulting reasoning then does our reason restrict us, after accepting tradition, from having a total acceptance of all the other communities of the earth. Must we, by necessity of our ideas, abandon holding unto a view that decides that there is hope for all of humanity?

The resulting calculation we commonly arrive at reasons who is really favored by God and who isn’t. We judge who He understands and therefore who He loves and then judge who He will ignore and eventually reject.

But is our calculation accurate or fair? The views we have in this way compete for claims of who really does Gods true will, and therefore who He favors, and who He finds no eternal good for at all. Because of the way ideas appear to us as impressionable experiential dabblers in these truth claims different multitudes of us are herded about in this way in this world. Therefore innocently enough we are compelled into conformity to the varies kinds of perspective of what the truth is.  

Circles of like thinkers in the world in tribes of communities exist where fellow thinking is structured on accumulated ideological arguments. Everyone alive makes certain claims that support feeling justified by something argued which realistically and practically means error is inherently real to all of us everywhere in some ways. To be alive and to think is to err. 

If God were really known fully to us in how He really feels would he step over our buriers and feel for us with heartache and love everywhere. Would His compassion feel the pain of everyone alive. Would God really have an intimate awareness of other cultures and their lived experience. Would His all knowing ability search out such lives and be able to relate to the answers people everywhere arrive at.

We are In a search for meaning where ideas challenge and compete for legitimacy winning acceptance in the vulnerable minds of the world. We experience the persuasiveness that then results in forms of various understandings within earths different societies in the different consensus formed of the truth. Would God understand the nature of the spread of ideas like this and understand how ideas are hard to interpret by simplistic people. Or would God instead judge us by very arbitrary standards.

There are many arguments and many corresponding explanations in life about what the truth is. The God I believe in I believe loves all of the Earth not merely parts of it that align to certain doctrines. That is how I choose to see Jesus death on the cross as sacrificial and compassionate for the whole world.
