G’day all,
How do you think of God?
According to the recently released publication “Benefit….Education” God is ………a person.
On page 9 of the book are found the words
“Jehovah is a majestic and awe-inspiring person”.
In the Dub’s world, God is reduced to the tangible, and his home, i.e. heaven, is a place. Not too many years ago, that is within living memory of some, the publications asserted that God inhabited the planet of Pleiedes. Presumably it would have been possible to reach there in a space probe.
So, God is a tangible “person”. Hmmmm
How do you think of God?
Strangely though, four pages later the Borg presents another view of God.
According to the recently released publication “Benefit….Education” God is ………an organisation.
On page 13 of the book are found these words:
“Jehovah is preparing us for an even greater deliverance. Surely, the instruction he provides merits our earnest attention. Such instruction is given at the congregation meetings……………………………….Do you retain highlights of the instruction given at the meetings?”
In the Dub’s world, God both speaks through an organization and IS the organisation. So, in the quote above, Jehovah is instructing where? At the meetings. Who do we hear at the meetings? The organisation’s representatives. So God is synonymous with the organization, in the Dub’s view of course.
So, God is the organisation. Hmmmm
It seems the Borg has unusual views of God, one who is material in nature. What do you think?
Cheers, Ozzie
