Approving of God”s conduct

This is a reason I follow liberals on Twitter. Recently, the practice paid off with this nugget:

The editor of the Christian Century is repulsed by the History Channel’s telling of the Bible, particularly by the account of the conquest of the promised land. Media representations of the Bible, John M. Buchannan claims, miss the point in their effort to get the details of the story right. The enlightened have long ago “come to an accommodation with biblical texts that stretch the imagination.” Oh my, please protect us from divine revelation that stretches our imaginations, or personal biases.

The real clarifying moment is when he quotes a Franciscan monk who says that revelation (a Scripture text) is not authentic if we “see God operating at a lesser level than the best person you know.” Substitute “judge” for “see” and you have it. How many people would judge John 14:6 as unworthy of God? Many that you know would do just that.

If we could judge God, or “bestness” or even good rightly, we would not need God. This article tells you why the body of Christ is not one—much less the world.
