Does your doctrine/theology limit God?
DIR By: guest24

---------------------------------------------------------
This weekend as my husband and I were talking I was thinking
about some of the theologies/doctrines I have heard and how much
they limit God from being God. It seems to me that anything we
believe should mirror a belief that God is God and therefore can
do anything He desires within the righteousness, the holiness,
the Love that we are told in scripture that He is. IOW's
instead of our understanding of scripture telling us what God
will or will not do, it should reflect the characteristics of
God while allowing Him the "freedom" (not saying we can control
God but that we sometimes try to) to be the God that He is.
So for discussion I am asking you what doctrines/theologies
limit God to what we understand about Him verse those that open
the door for Him to be Lord over all while remaining true to His
nature, like that of a holy God, a just God, a God of Love.

All doctrine should be derived from the word of GOD... For a
closer personal exposure, we have the indwelling Holy Spirit.

[/quote]it should be based on a rightly divided word but we know
from experience as well as conflicts in discussion boards that
they aren't all based on a rightly divided word....thus the
question

I think that often we try to create God in our image. Too much
human thinking. His thoughts and ways are higher than ours.
Isa. 55:8“For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
neither are your ways My ways,”
declares the LORD.
9“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
so My ways are higher than your ways
and My thoughts than your thoughts.
For me, that's important to remember. I look at man's ways and
thinking and try to compare that to God's ways and thinking.
That helps me to better understand the scriptures and how man
interprets them and how man views God.

A good start is reading the the whole book through a "literal,
historical, grammatical, synthesis, and practical view".
