1. The Becoming God

This blog is about the Becoming God. It isn't about you becoming God, or about how to become how God wants you to be.

It is about God becoming into this dimension, generating his likeness in this "body" of his. This "body" is his image in the process of becoming like him.

God speaks to us in images. The world is an image, mankind is an image, our lives are images, histories are images, the universe is an image, and the Word is an image. Take a look and listen.

You may have surmised by now that I have an "image-ic" worldview, and you would be correct. If you have wondered what the so-called Christian Gospel is, or what the Jewish Law is all about, here it is:

We can participate in being God's image on earth, with him living in and through us. It is the promise of the Sabbath, the end of God's plan and purpose: all of us submitted to all of him.
