In the beginning II.........

"In the beginning was the word, and the word
was God," so we are told by John in his gospel. We do not

know how he perceived God to be. Do we even know our own
perceptions of God? Do we really believe there is a God?
Infinity is omni-directional. In terms of time it

can be said that infinity means something always was and is
and always will be. It cannot be proven that infinity, in a God

context, always was no more than it can be guaranteed that
infinity always will be. The concept is to great. In human terms
we live finiteness. We have a fixed beginning, birth, and a

finite end, death. Limited by these perceptions we rush to prove
that within our ideas of space and time we must be able to find

the finite evidence of a god in terms human.
To relate to a human form of God is to expand
His ability to live into terms that far exceed the our own living

abilities. Maybe that is what makes Him God, extended
mortality. The concept of an archetypal God as the well-built
grey haired and grey bearded old man is only valid under the

circumstances of our seeing the limited human God.
God cannot be limited in this way. That makes
Him too human. God deserves more mystery. This is one

beginning.
