This is a paragraph from my forthcoming book that speaks to the nature of God and love. I receive support for this Contrarian view from the brilliance of two of my primary mentors for this view.
God is not love!
"When someone says, “God is love” they identify Him as the source and embodiment of love, but actually He is not love any more than He is justice, or mercy, or grace. He is much more. The great C.S. Lewis distinguished God’s love from the romantic’s false notion that “love is God” and A.W. Tozer amplifies Lewis by resoning that God is not love because love is not God. Love describes an attribute of God but it is not a proper object of worship. So, with both Lewis and Tozer, I concluded that the world and the people of flesh may worship love but children of the spirit simply experience and share love but we only worship God. (The Knowledge of the Holy. Page 97)" Chapter Six
What Matters About Me
- Jack C. Getz
- I am who I am, not what I have done. For those who care about pedigree, I have little more than being a former public school teacher and a pastor/denominational adminstrator. The following insights come from a couple of tests I took. They may explain why I am a Contrarian and why I decided to do a blog about it. The first test is a standardized personality profile. The second is something strange called a Brain Type test! 1)“Jack lives outside traditional boundaries and ahead of the curve. When others focus on limitations, Jack creates new possibilities and ideas. He is a doer, not just a dreamer. Well grounded in reality, logic and analytical thinking. He enjoys meeting and working with other creative and ambitious people...a fearless leader. Only 3-5% of U.S. population has these qualities.” 2) Jack's Intellectual Type is Word Warrior. This means he has exceptional verbal skills. He can can easily make sense of complex issues and takes an unusually creative approach to solving problems. His strengths also make him a visionary. Even without trying he's able to come up with lots of new and creative ideas. (Like blogging as Contrarian?)
This challenges common ideas about the purpose of praying. Not a rehash of old dogma.
