Does God actually reign?

Spirituality


Or is that just one antique human way of thinking about God?

Maybe God splashes out the venues and buffets and just abides.


One red thumb so far. Any explanation to go along with that?

It is very difficult to look at one Sovereign Lord when you look at how other
gods we made shape up, there was the universe, and other gods came up from it,
while the God of scripture is overall. Other Gods had beginnings, fathers' mothers,
while the God of scripture is eternal. Most other gods people made up suit
themselves, while the God of the Bible, not so much.'

I think conceptualizing a possible creator entity as an anthropomorphized being is so willfully narrow and intellectually hamstringing ~ to such a degree ~ that doing so questions whether the curiosity is genuine and whether it is, instead, simply a parochial search for a curiosity-ending prepackaged set of narratives and doctrines to settle for.

At least God is comfortable in his own power, unlike earthly kings.
