Creator/Creature Distinction (God’s Grandeur)

By | April 9, 2006

Check out this amazing imagery from Scripture’s anthropomorphic language. Consider this an update on my previous post on our tininess. The scripture, it speaks for itself here. Latin experts, would the phrase “res ipsa loquitur” work here?

Thus says the LORD:
Heaven is my throne,
and the earth is my footstool;

what is the house that you would build for me,
and what is the place of my rest?
All these things my hand has made,
and so all these things came to be,
declares the LORD.
But this is the one to whom I will look:
he who is humble and contrite in spirit
and trembles at my word. – Isaiah 66

Be not rash with your mouth, nor let your heart be hasty to utter a word before God, for God is in heaven and you are on earth. Therefore let your words be few. – Ecclesiastes 5:2
