Ive been found wanting , searching seeking to know you , TRuth...
outside of the idols man has created of YOu,
rachelhf5286: ive been thinking
rachelhf5286: about some stuff from the divine romance
dauriala: yea?
rachelhf5286: and i want to see what you think
rachelhf5286: i read the first part to angelina and sara last night
rachelhf5286: because i thought it was so amazing
rachelhf5286: and then we talked about it
rachelhf5286: and angelina was saying that she didnt agree with him portraing God as having the emotion of loneliness
rachelhf5286: or lacking anything
rachelhf5286: she was saying that piper says that God is perfectly content in the Godhead
rachelhf5286: so if this is true
rachelhf5286: i pose these questions
rachelhf5286: is it true that he desires us
dauriala: yes
rachelhf5286: and Jesus desires his bridegroom
rachelhf5286: and all the stuff preached at kc
dauriala: yes
rachelhf5286: see i brought that up r
achelhf5286: and she doesnt agree with some of the stuff they say
rachelhf5286: i didnt get into what she doesnt agree on r
achelhf5286: but i was attempting to understand
rachelhf5286: whacha think
rachelhf5286: how God is perfectly content in the Godhead but still has emotions of desiring and passion towards people
rachelhf5286: its like i dont doubt his love for us
rachelhf5286: but its like things from ihop portray Jesus not lacking anything , but with this insationable passion for his bride
dauriala: hmm
dauriala: that is a good thought evoking thing
dauriala: maybe if youthink about this paradox
dauriala: adam was complete w/ his rib but not actually complete until god took that rib out to form eve leaving him uncompletely completed
dauriala: ha
rachelhf5286: true
rachelhf5286: yeah
dauriala: i mean nothing really can make sense to our minds why God would desire us
dauriala: but i think it is like we are complete unto ourselves w/ God but we are complemented and have desire for our spouse..just like God desires his bride
rachelhf5286: right so with that i was thinking is it impossible for God to have feelings of loneliness
rachelhf5286: bc if he lacked nothing , then why would he desire
rachelhf5286: for hurt or broken people
rachelhf5286: or does he just will for us to be saved
rachelhf5286: and its no emotions attached to it
dauriala: well yea i mean if youthink about it this way
rachelhf5286: hmm
dauriala: i desire for my family to get saved but that doesnt mean that if they dont then i am not complete
dauriala: right?
rachelhf5286: yes
dauriala: b/c i am complete myself only by God
dauriala: God is God which makes him complete in himself
dauriala: not by us which proves that he doesnt need us but desires for our compliment
dauriala: like it says the wife compliments her husband
rachelhf5286: right
