Craig's (amplified) version of God was an angry and spiteful deity indeed, if his life was the witness he claimed.
What about Rosalie's almighty witness? Sneaky, maybe. Conniving. Not really the image most people might hold of the biblical God, but that's not what we're after.
We're going back in our minds and memories to do a meet and greet with the Creator, as revealed by the sermons we saw (rather than heard) from those illustrious Way leaders.
How did overall Way Corps behavior magnify the Lord, by the way? What sorta god (as revealed by their special form of "godliness") did the Corps present? What sort of god would make them (and we're referring to the stereotypical Corps here, not individuals who may have been exceptional) act that way? What sort of god fills the heart with arrogance, or cold-blooded indifference to others? Just wondering aloud, really.
Who is the God of the Way, as revealed by the walk of Way leaders?
Incestuous? Hmm. I think I know what you're driving at, but how did VP share that witness for his kids? No need to really get into it, unless you feel like it.
Interesting. You mean, their lives aren't sign posts to the true biblical God, but of other gods? But that's not what they say! How can their mouths say one thing and their lives something else? It's just not possible. Why, that would make them hypocritical! You'd think others would notice, wouldn't you?
One little side note.. I forget where this was, but some Rabbi (I think anyway) said that we do not worship the same god that our ancestors did. Before anybody could cry foul, he went on to say that God really has never changed, only our perception of God. A not too many hundreds of years ago, peoples god made the sun move around the earth. Today, people's God made and arranged the laws of motion and gravitation. Quite a difference!
This is a pretty interesting subject you bring up. It seems that people's perception of God is based largely on their personal knowledge and character.
So if they practice, if not promote, an anti-biblical lifestyle, why do so many bible hounds stick around? Only one reason I can think of: TWI has a monopoly on biblical research and the rightly divided God-breathed Word. Is that it?
Where else can you go for the truth, but to a bunch of liars who own the copyrights?
Kind of funny. You'd think God would be smarter than that.

Present truth sure is dandy when it serves one's own purposes, isn't it??

Yeah, Tommy T. - - "present truth"

I think that would fall under #3 of Satori's post - - Senses oriented "revelation" - - HA!

For some groups God just gets in the way. FWIW, I think He was present, just hidden in the green room waiting for His appearance.

So Rosie's witness = an unkempt and ineffectual almighty?

Yep, you sure read that right! Probably an understatement at that.. "almighty" on a bad hair day- heh heh heh.

Then again, we did notice something like that.
