A Proverb From Somewhere
A large elephant was placed in a large dark room with the lights out. Four people were positioned variously around the elephant and asked to describe what an elephant is.
The first person felt the elephant and said 'an elephant is a smooth hard object ending in a point.' He felt it's tusk.
The second person felt the elephant and said 'an elephant is an ocean of bumpy scratchy wrinkles.' She felt it's back
The third person said 'an elephant is like a rigid columnular tree trunk.' He felt it's leg.
The Fourth person said 'an elephant is a sinewy whip of a fountain that moves with agility and grace.' He felt it's trunk.
Each insisted in the rightness of their opinions vigorously and the truth of their knowledge. Each insisted the others were in apostacy, error and heresy.
All are right. All are wrong. All at the same time.
What is God? Who is God?
God is bigger than a breadbox. God is bigger than an elephant. Who do you say that he is?
Is God the room or the elephant here?
Jesus said "If you have seen me you have seen the father because I and the father are ONE."
