Unchained Thinker Season 1 Episode 6

If you would like to discuss today's episode or comment on it, please visit Thinking Unchained.  

In this episode, I present the possibility every one of us, believers and non-believers, are both, correct and wrong, about who or what god is. Everyone on earth sees god from different perspectives, angles, and with different lenses, creating a unique view of god. However, I argue not a single person on earth has the complete or true vision of god.

Exodus 3:13-15 

New International Version 

13 Moses said to God, “Suppose I go to the Israelites and say to them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you,’ and they ask me, ‘What is his name?’ Then what shall I tell them?” I find this interesting, Moses refers to god as "the god of your fathers," He did not believe this voice came from one of his gods, remember, he still considered himself Egyptian, and probably believed in many gods. 

 14 God said to Moses, “I am who I am.[a] This is what you are to say to the Israelites: ‘I am has sent me to you.’” 

Exodus 33:11 

New International Version 

11 The Lord spoke to Moses face to face as a man speaks with his friend 

Exodus 33:18-23

New International Version 

18 Then Moses said, “Now, please show me your glory [C asking for god's manifest presence].” 

19 The Lord answered, “I will cause all my goodness to pass in front of you, and I will announce my name, the Lord, so you can hear it. I will show ·kindness [favor] to anyone to whom I want to show ·kindness [favor], and I will show ·mercy [compassion] to anyone to whom I want to show ·mercy [compassion]. 20 But you cannot see my face, because no one can see me and live. 

21 “There is a place near me where you may stand on a rock. 22 When my glory passes that place, I will put you in a large ·crack [fissure; T cleft] in the rock and ·cover [screen] you with my hand until I have passed by. 23 Then I will ·take away [remove] my hand, and you will see my back. But my face must not be seen.”
