195 Is God As Simple As You Say?
I
For all these many years,
what people have seen is not only the Spirit, a human, a male,
but many things that don’t fit with human notions;
so humans can never fully fathom God.
They keep half-believing and half-doubting Him—
as if God does exist, yet is also an illusory dream—
which is why, to this very day, people still do not know what God is.
Can you really sum up God in one simple sentence?
Can you really sum up God in one simple sentence?
II
Do you dare say, “Jesus is none other than God,
and God is none other than Jesus”?
Do you dare say, “God is none other than the Spirit,
and the Spirit is none other than God”?
Would you really dare, dare to say that
God is just a human, a human clothed in flesh?
Do you truly have the courage to assert,
“The image of Jesus is the great image of God”?
Are you able to use your eloquence to
thoroughly explain God’s disposition and image?
Now do you truly know what God is?
Is God a human, a Spirit, really a male?
Can only Jesus complete the work God is to do?
If you choose only one of the above to sum up God’s essence,
you are an exceedingly ignorant loyal believer.
III
If God worked as incarnate flesh once, and only once,
then would you delimit Him?
Are you really able to understand Him,
understand Him thoroughly at a single glance?
Can you really sum Him up completely
based on what you’ve been exposed to during your lifetime?
If God did the same work in two incarnations,
then how would you perceive Him, perceive Him?
Would you leave Him forever, forever nailed to the cross?
Could God be as simple as you claim Him to be?
