Deflationism

Description of the illustration: black and white photograph of a deflated football.

 

Thought About Who Is God?: What is God? The telescope by which we hold converse with the stars, the microscope which unveils the secrets of nature, the crucible of the chemist, the knife of the anatomist, the reflective faculties of the philosopher, all the common instruments of science, avail not here. On the threshold of that impenetrable mystery, a voice arrests our steps. From out the clouds and darkness that are round about God’s throne, the question comes, “Canst thou by searching find out God? canst thou find out the Almighty to perfection?”’—Thomas Guthrie.

  —Samuel Thompson.

Adam and Eve In The Garden

Description of Illustration: Adam and Eve by Kathy Grimm, black and white line drawing of couple surrounded by flowers, petals, tree of life, snake

Thought About Who God Is:  “Christ’s thought of God was that of a being clothed with matchless simplicity and beauty. He affirmed that God is man’s Father, who made His earthly child in His own image; that man is a miniature of the Divine Being; that what reason and judgment and memory and love are in the small in man, they are in the large in the great God. . . Christ revealed God as the world’s great burden-bearer full of an exquisite kindness and sympathy; that what He was through thirty-three years, God is through all the ages; that what He was to publican and sinner in Bethlehem, God is for all maimed and wrecked hearts in all worlds; that no human tear falls but that God feels it; that no human blow smites the suffering heart but that God shrinks and suffers; that with wistful longing He follows the publican and the prodigal, waiting for the hour when He may recover the youth to his integrity, or lead the man grown gray in sin back to his Father’s house.” —N. D. Hillis.

Thought About Defining God: "There was a story once told to me by an American Presbyterian minister in the Jerusalem Chamber at Westminster Abbey, that the Westminster divines, when they were drawing up The Confession of Faith and came to the question of making a definition of the Supreme Being, found the diffculty so overwhelming that they proposed to have a special prayer for light. The youngest minister was to undertake the office. It was, according to English tradition, Calamy; according to Scotch, Gillespie. He rose, and began by an impassioned and elaborate invocation of the Almighty, which he had hardly uttered when the whole assembly broke out into the exclamation: “This shall be our definition!” The definition may be read in the third article of the Westminster Confession —Dean Stanley. "God is a Spirit, infinite, eternal, and unchangeable, in His being, wisdom, power, holiness, justice, goodness, and truth." —Westminster Catechism.

       The Star of David (✡), known in Hebrew as the Shield of David or Magen David (Hebrew מָגֵן דָּוִד; Biblical Hebrew Māḡēn Dāwīḏ [maːˈɣeːn daːˈwiːð], Tiberian [mɔˈɣen dɔˈvið], Modern Hebrew [maˈɡen daˈvid], Ashkenazi Hebrew and Yiddish Mogein Dovid [ˈmɔɡeɪn ˈdɔvid] or Mogen Dovid), is a generally recognized symbol of modern Jewish identity and Judaism. Its shape is that of a hexagram, the compound of two equilateral triangles. Unlike the menorah, the Lion of Judah, the shofar and the lulav, the Star of David was never a uniquely Jewish symbol.
       During the 19th century the symbol began to proliferate amongst the Jewish communities of Eastern Europe, ultimately being used amongst the Jewish communities in the Pale of Settlement. A significant motivating factor was the desire to imitate the influence of the Christian cross. The earliest Jewish usage of the symbol was inherited from medieval Arabic literature by Kabbalists for use in talismanic protective amulets (segulot) where it was known as a Seal of Solomon. The symbol was also used in Christian churches as a decorative motif many centuries before its first known use in a Jewish synagogue. Prior to the 19th century, official use in Jewish communities was generally known only in the region of today's Czech Republic, Austria and possibly parts of Southern Germany, having begun in medieval Prague.
       The symbol became representative of the worldwide Zionist community, and later the broader Jewish community, after it was chosen as the central symbol on a flag at the First Zionist Congress in 1897.
       The identification of the term "Star of David" or "Shield of David" with the hexagram shape dates to the 17th century. The term "Shield of David" is also used in the Siddur (Jewish prayer book) as a title of the God of Israel.
