I would love to hear about the “primitive” faiths. I love reading about those. Ever read the “earth children” series by Jean M. Auel? Really, really good series that discusses various “primitive” faiths.

It all sounds fascinating! How about a passage from each so we can compare!

RYN: (for the sake of argument..:D) my location doesn’t imply we’re shadow puppets of God. God gave us free will, so much so that without us neither He nor satan can do much of anything in this world, so we’re not His puppets. we are His children. my location (the shadow of the Almighty) is taken from Psalm 91 which speaks of the Lord being our fortress and refuge. 🙂 (there, now i feel better)

RYN: Psalm 82:6 “Ye are gods…” I’ve looked at a few different versions of the Bible and found that the translation in Hebrew is “mighty ones”. So if you’re thinking this passage is calling men gods, it’s not. The amplified Bible says “You are gods [since you judge on My behalf, as My representatives]”, but the verse goes on to say we are children of the Most High. an interesting…

RYN: Jesus is not power-hungry. He is powerFUL. He came in humility; not as people would expect a king to come. But God had given Him all power and authority in Heaven and earth. God sacrificed Him out of love for us, so we might be saved. That is what “no one comes to the Father but by me” is all about. there is no power-struggle in that statement. Christ knew who He was and why He came.

the Psalm 86 thing: that verse really confused me b/c it just sounded wrong, so I asked someone about it and it is in fact calling men gods. we are made in God’s image, according to His likeness, but we are merely gods of this earth. that’s why Jesus is called the King of kings and the Lord of lords. we are those kinds and lords. (there, now that i’ve cleared that up for myself…lol) 🙂 †
