That\u2019s not God; it\u2019s just our imaginations at work. But on some important level, God is a person. What\u2019s really important to think about is that God is not some vague, impersonal energy force or some dispassionate Creator who is \u201Call Mind\u201D or something like that. That\u2019s a recent New Age concept, not a biblical one.

We know that Jesus taught his followers to talk to \u201CGod our Father.\u201D And there is no question that when Christians pray to Jesus, they are praying to someone who was a man while he was on earth. But there are a few places in the Bible where God uses metaphors to lead us to believe that he has maternal and mothering qualities, too. I think it\u2019s safest to pray to him as our Father in heaven and to think of him that way because Jesus did. But we all need to keep the perspective that God has both male and female qualities, and that\u2019s why he made us male and female.";

(Jesus had moments when he was short and sometimes even sarcastic with people - his disciples and Jewish religious leaders alike. I don\u2019t know how else to read some of the passages in the New Testament.)

	myArray[67] = "Good point. Still, there are a number of reasons God might violate his own rules. But what\u2019s to say he actually does? We sometimes assume we know all the rules with the little bit of science we have. But any of the scientists living in the nineteenth century who knew everything about Newtonian physics would have been blown away by the concepts of relativity and quantum physics. They would have said that one particle affecting another particles in another part of the universe \u2013 which is what quantum physics teaches \u2013 is impossible, a miracle. But today we know it\u2019s just science.";
	myArray[68] = "na_Okay, but are you saying that God would never violate his nature or break his own laws, that every single miracle is somehow natural?";
	myArray[69] = "Well, again, you\u2019d have to define natural, and that\u2019s not so easy to do. When someone is miraculously healed and science can\u2019t explain it, does the fact that it is perhaps supernatural also mean that is isn\u2019t on some level natural? Isn\u2019t it possible that God is working within the rules he set up, but in a way that we can\u2019t understand? Isn\u2019t it possible that our knowledge of the natural world is incredibly limited?";
	myArray[70] = "na_I suppose so...";
	myArray[71] = "I mean, you at least have to think about that sort of thing. It\u2019s impossible not to leap to conclusions. Humans beings love to assume that everything they know is all that can be known \u2013 which, of course, is a mistake.";
	myArray[72] = "na_Are there some miracles God can do and some he can\u2019t?";
	myArray[73] = "Yes. The best way to explain this would be by telling you a story. A few years ago I was writing my own adaptation of a Grimm\u2019s fairy tale, and in the process I decided to see what the original German version said. The fairy tale is about a talking fish that grants a fisherman and his overly ambitious wife every imaginable wish. When the fisherman\u2019s wife says she wants to live in a vast castle and be the empress of the world, the fish grants her wish. And we suddenly find her sitting on a throne that every version of the story says is two miles high! That\u2019s right, two miles.";
	myArray[74] = "Somehow, immediately you know that something is wrong. I mean, the Empire State Building is a quarter of a mile high! Even in the story with a talking fish, you know there can\u2019t be a throne two miles high. You\u2019d die of a heart attack sitting on a throne like that. But there in the original German version, it used the word myle, which means mile. But somehow I knew this couldn\u2019t be right \u2013 it didn\u2019t feel right. So with a little research I found that the German word myle also has another definition, a much older one. The archaic definition of myle is \u201Cfathom,\u201D which is about fifteen feet.\n 	\u201CAha,\u201D said I. \u201CSo the throne was thirty feet high, not ten thousand feet high!\u201D Thirty feet is high enough for a high throne, don\u2019t you think?";
	myArray[75] = "na_I suppose so.";
	myArray[76] = "But the bigger question is, \u201CHow did I know that the throne couldn\u2019t be two miles high?\u201D";
	myArray[77] = "na_Okay, I\u2019ll take the bait. How did you know?";
	myArray[78] = "It has something to do with the internal logic and rules of the story. In his fantastical and wonderful story, many details seem appropriately fantastical and wonderful, like the talking fish. But the detail of a throne that was two miles high didn\u2019t seem fantastical and wonderful; it just seemed ridiculous and wrong. It stopped the story cold.";
	myArray[79] = "na_What does this have to do with God not being able to perform certain miracles?";
	myArray[80] = "Everything. What I\u2019m saying is that once an author creates something, it begins to have a logic and nature of its own. As the reader, you don\u2019t think to yourself, Well, absolutely anything can happen. On the contrary, while you give the author lots of leeway to do what he or she likes, there are boundaries and limits to what you will accept. And in the talking-fish fairy tale, the two-mile-high throne was far beyond that limit. That\u2019s because once the creator or author has established the unwritten rules, even he is not free to write anything he wants. So if in this story the author has written \u201Ctwo miles\u201D instead of \u201Cthirty feet,\u201D something in the reader says, \u201CWait a minute, that\u2019s wrong. That violates the rules of this story.\u201D Which shows that an author submits to the internal rules he has set down from the beginning. And, of course, in the case of the fairy tale with the talking fish, it wasn\u2019t the author who screwed up, it was a bad translator.";
	myArray[81] = "na_So? My question was about God not being able to perform some miracles. ";
	myArray[82] = "Right. So when God created the universe, he created it in a way that precludes even him from monkeying with certain aspects of it. He laid our certain ground rules, just as anyone does when he or she is creating anything. It\u2019s part of the warp and woof of creation itself. Every creation has a kind of internal order. God has allowed himself all kinds of leeway, but there are limits in his creation that even he respects and stays within \u2013 and he designed it that way. To go beyond the limits is to violate his own nature as well as the nature of his creation. So God allows himself to do almost anything, but he cannot and will not do something that is the equivalent of sticking a two-mile-high throne in a story where it is patently out of place. You might find all kinds of amazing things, but some things you will not find.";
	myArray[83] = "na_Can you give me an example?";
	myArray[84] = "Well, you might find God parting the Red Sea so the Hebrew slaves could escape their captors in Egypt, or you might find him healing someone miraculously, but you will never find God doing something that is not within his nature. For example, he will not lie or deceive or do something tricky and confusing. Ever. And he won\u2019t do something that violently violates the fundamental rules of his creation.";
	myArray[85] = "So what might seem to be a contradiction \u2013 that God is actually limited rather than being all-powerful \u2013 is really a tremendous truth about God. Namely, that God limits himself precisely because he is all-powerful. He decides what is and isn\u2019t, what can and can\u2019t be done, and he always remain true to his nature. This is no contradiction; it\u2019s simply God operating fully within his nature. He can do any miracle that is consistent with his nature, but he will not do a miracle that would violate it.";

Those who believe in God yield to him - freely - and by yielding to him, they experience ecstasy. And life comes out of this union. Life!

The room can have the air sucked out of it, but the room can\u2019t have the room sucked out of it. So the room and the air in the room are two separate things. And so God may be everywhere in the universe, but he is distinct from the universe. He is the Creator, and the universe is what he created.
