MAN’S RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD

 

Chapter 35 - The Vision of a Creator: the Alternative to Analysis

Page 224

Chapter 11 if you start trying to have insight into a relationship of mutual trust, you destroy it. So in thinking about the why and the wherefore of creation, one has to assume that the temporal is the imperfection of the eternal. No other view is open to you. This is where knowledge ends. It has to end somewhere; and this is it. There is no insight into eternity, if it exists outside space and time, and can be none; or it becomes hell. So if you enter into eternity on the wrong foot, there is nothing you can do to put matters right. You have no insight, so you cannot see what to do to put it right; so you cannot put it right. Nor can you expect that God will change the nature of his creation, just for you.

        However it is possible to take the analysis of creation a little further.
