Wrong Comparison Between God and Man

WRONG COMPARISON BETWEEN GOD AND MAN Comparing God to man is tantamount to arrogating to oneself a right that is God’s alone. Moreover, every such supposition is entirely false because a human being, in reality, is a helpless creature, and he can in no sense acquire the status of the Creator. a human being has always erred in trying to understand God and himself. he has thought of God to be like himself, and he to be like God. Man of every age has made this mistake. The whole of human history is the story of this mistake and its consequences. To think of God as a man is to try to bring God to the human level. however, unfortunately, all forms of wrong notions about God result from this mistake, involving assumptions about God based on wrong analogies between man and him. We come into this world through biological parents. on this basis, it was assumed that if there is a God, he, too, must have a parent or parents, that there must have been someone before God who brought God into being. Because the eternal God is not physically visible to an individual, he began denying his existence. observing himself, reflecting that he is a created being, should have led a person to acknowledge the Creator’s existence. however, because of the analogy mentioned above that people drew between human beings and God, they were not ready to accept him.
