So Many Things To Consider 4: A God Itself In Process

I have never met nor heard of another Christian who believes, or would even allow, that God is developing. By interpreting Exodus 3:14’s I AM THAT I AM and Malachi 3:6’s I DO NOT CHANGE as meaning that God is eternally self-existent, perfect, and complete, the whole kit-and-caboodle of Christianity has locked itself into a doctrine that God was finished in all wisdom from eternity past. That he knew all things that ever would happen. That he had no development or reason to change. That he could not evolve, grow, or mature. Many even believe that Jesus was a human, white-robed and sashed, standing next to an anthropomorphic God sitting in a big chair from before time began.

God developed over time. Is developing even now. He wasn’t - isn’t - eternally already finished and without change. That’s what we are doing here. That God created everything and is doing everything is already pretty impressive, and I in fact am all-in if there is Strong Determination, but WE are developing, and we are ITS manifestation. If It were eternally perfect and complete, we would necessarily have to be so, too. Hate to think this is it. Creation is not a remotely controlled, out-of-control second existence separate from His. It is one with him - within his oneness - in his process of becoming perfect and complete. He evolves, so we evolve, overcoming OUR ignorance which is in HIM. THAT’s what is going on!
