THIS IS A CONTROVERSEY THAT HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR CENTURIES. THUS, SPEAKING IN POETICAL FORM FROM A CHRISTIAN POINT OF VIEW, THIS IS WHAT I BELIEVE.....

 
Consider...

The Ever Present, Unequal, Unperishable Power of this,

Our ....One God!

who left His Throne, His Eternal Home and walked

earth's sod~

He is ours! and thus,

now and forever- love Him do we

knowing that without Him...

eternal rest we will never see~

He is the maker of  all in earth, sky and sea

of every living thing

yet, that we might  be cleansed, He put on flesh

to bestow a pardon which 'only He' could bring~

From the Garden of Eden...

He, from which nothing is hid, knew

no one else could eradicate sin

only He alone would do~

Hallelujah, yes! The King of Kings!

became...Jesus...the Lamb!

for the Purity of the Sacrifice was a must

that through time - it would stand!~

Only God was completely pure and without sin

only He was worthy  - verily...

only He was able to save us 

only He Loved us, so...entirely!~

To say that He wouldn't do this

limits His Omnipotence...His rule

for no one but He 'could' do it

as He Alone is God - through and through!~ 

But for those...who find this hard to accept

for those who have denied and mocked...

who cannot understand the Trinity, I say

Take Him out of the Box!~ 

For the Box...contains and restrains Him

the Box...makes many of us feel that He's of  human vein

the Box...says that He thinks like we do

the Box...takes away His Power-His Oneness-His Supreme Reign!~

Loose those inhibiting, finite chains!

Take Him Out of the Box!

let the 'God of Impossibilities' flood your being

use the Key of 'Faith' and open the Lock!~

He is so much more...Oh much greater

then we  mere mortals could ever begin to imagine!

discard that cape of skepticism

let His Spirit  guide you...from within~

Seek His ultimate truth- in His Word

take Him out of the Box!

know that the God we serve did fulfill prophecies...

that a virgin brought Him forth is not a fabled concoct~

Enter the Magnificence of the Triune's Presence!

two or three Gods? Not so, in fact, idolatrous & preposterous!

but 'ONE' GOD who can do ANYTHING??!!! Yes!!!

and He did it...for you and me...us!!!~

Take Him out of that man-made container!

for He is infinitely greater... than the box

greater than what we could 'ever' conceive

allow His Everlasting Love...His Vastness to intox!~

You and I...we are the ones

that...wouldn't...couldn't...and have a limit

but not Our Almighty God, not ever...'He'!

He is Alpha! Omega! Our One Powerful, Eternal, Summit! 


Take - Him - Out - Of - The...Box!!!

Fantastic and fave write, dear Joyce! I think of my mom’s ashes in a small purple urn…crazy. God cannot be contained in our human box. He walks on water, heals our diseases and sin, rose from the dead. Those that ask for “another sign,” will not see the miracle around them. Yes, He can save us! He did! Glory to God! (my words inadequate) Blessings ~ Kim
