Emerging From What? Your Fallible Mind?

This is an example of what happens when people create an image of a god in their own mind and ignore the God that has been revealed to us in the Bible.

They try to portray God as one who had an anger management problem in the Old Testament, but has now changed into a "lovable Santa Claus". God NEVER changes!(Numbers 23:19)

They pretend to be disciples of Jesus Christ, but they ignore all of the warnings their Master gave them about hell. (Matthew 5:22, Matthew 10:28, Matthew 23:33, Mark 9:47)

They create a humanistic god that would never justly punish his creation regardless of their unholy rebellion against him. They try to exalt mankind to a within a millimeter of the Creator of the Universe. The Bible teach us that we are about as close to being like God as an inanimate lump of clay is to a skilled Potter (Psalm 2:9, Isaiah 45:9, Isaiah 64:8, Jeremiah 18:6, Lamentations 4:2, Romans 9: Revelation 2:27), and even that is an extreme exaggeration.

This is called "idolatry". (1 John 5:20-22)

You DO NOT want an unjust god.
