Christian Liberals & Progressive People of Faith

As an adult, have you ever really thought about the conclusions you hold about those elemental questions about the character of God and how you acquired them?
How you would specifically describe whoever or whatever you believe holds everything together?
What this God thinks of you and wants for and from you?

Pavlovitz, John. If God Is Love, Don't Be a Jerk (p. 34). Presbyterian Publishing Corporation. Kindle Edition.

My first thought of God begins with Genesis.

Here the all powerful being who already has angels worshiping him because they are designed to do so wonders, would someone or something love me by choice? He gave Lucifer choice and Lucifer decided he wanted in on all that praise GOD was getting instead of simply loving God on purpose.

Was GOD who has been in existence forever and will go on forever, bored? Was he looking for a little chaos to stretch himself and make his existence more than it could be if everything was calm, peaceful and glorious? IF SO HE sure got what he asked for.

WAS GOD tired of his OWN BOX? His own preconceived notions about himself?

Our origin story out there has GOD reaching out to US and wanting simple obedience in exchange for the secrets of the universe, unending power and abilities, but we let ourselves be tempted by fear and got ourselves kicked out of paradise.

IS THAT WHAT WE ARE DOING NOW? LETTING FEAR KICK US OUT OF THE CHANCE FOR HEAVEN ON EARTH?
