The Intensified God

[aron]

Have had long-time issues with the last of the "Processed God" theory, the part about intensification, and wanted to see what others think.

1. How can God be intensified? To me that makes no sense whatever.

2. How can God's intensification be rooted to church degradation? It seems we made God, by our failure, instead of God making us. How can the essential defining aspect of God's existence - "intensified" - be dependent upon our collective status or situation in time? Again, this simply makes no sense. Any common notion of what "God" is supposed to mean in our minds doesn't match the story behind the "Processed God" idea, that of being connected to our failures.

Now, action is different. In a moment in time, "God sent His Only Begotten Son" seems to make sense, as an answer to the failure of humanity, who were made at one moment in time, in His likeness. But not "The Processed God became Intensified to overcome Church Degradation". To me it looks like we made God what God is, not the opposite.

3. There were seven flames burning before the throne in Exodus. "See that you make all things according to the vision (or pattern) that you received on the Holy Mountain". The seven flames of fire were there for, what, two millennia almost, in Israelite history? Then when the apostle John sees them on Patmos, their existence was supposed to be the answer for church degradation? Such an interpretation probably gives a wee bit too much importance to the interpreter, and just a wee bit lacking for the Eternal One.
