» Brian Tubbs - God and the Elephant

In response to God and the Elephant posted by spiritalk:

Okay, we agree that a person's understanding of a person, place, or thing is based primarily on that person's vantage point or perspective. Hence, the elephant analogy.

But...

What I also want us to make sure we agree on is that, in the elephant analogy, there is still an elephant. In other words, there is a larger reality than what each visually-impaired person can see, touch, or feel.

The same is true with God. You're right that "each of us will worship according to what WE think is God," HOWEVER....

There is still....GOD. And God is bigger than our individual perspectives.

God represents Absolute Truth - a truth that is larger than our perspective, is EXTERNAL to our perspective, and is NOT dependent upon our perspective.
