January Aphorisms

1. That God exists and that he does so on multiple levels and in multiple ways is plainly obvious to any observer of Christianity. That he is steward and stewarded is a fact known for the most part subconsciously to the men we call clergy. An understanding is a creature. Thus it is a creation of God. A conception is a creature. Thus it is a creation of God. God is a creature. Thus he is a creation of God.

2. The Christian is both creator and consumer. When she is a follower she is a consumer of the creations of men - particularly theologians. When she is a leader she leads herself insofar as she places herself under God's leadership alone.

3. Theology, by detaching itself from God and focusing instead upon hermeneutic group think, betrays its true nature as atheism hidden from itself. What then is my own theology?

4. Communion with God and love for him is the greatest crime any Christian can commit. He has strayed from the flock and sought out not the shepherd but the Creator himself. But the straying is not the true crime. It is the arrival at the destination at which the creator is truly to be found that is the crime.

5. I don't know good from evil since I've seen the one posing as the other enough times to know how capricious the two definitions really are outside the mind of God.
