A SIMPLISTIC GOD

I find that a lot of people measure God by how He talks to us.
God uses poetry in the Bible.
God talks about nature.
God discusses the limit of our existence, using
"time words"
God presents pictures---sneak peeks---of the
after-life
God lets us see stories of peoples' lives.
God lets us read parables told by Jesus.

And people look at the Bible, say, "See, if God were really GOD, He wouldn't be so simplistic."

But God is simplistic BECAUSE He is God.

He wants us to be able to know Him. He wants us to have interaction with Him. So He has spoken to us in terms we understand.

Too often, we don't appreciate what has been done:
The Creator, who decided we would exist, could "talk down" to us. He could "talk over" us.
Instead He chooses to "talk across" to us. He talks to us in terms we will understand.
Not because HE is limited, but because WE are.
