Would you want to read the Mind of the Lord...? Why would you want to do that..?

Question

Would you want to read the Mind of the Lord...? Why would you want to do that..?

Answer 1

Im sure people will say they would like to, but there is no mind to read.  Our minds are only a product of consciousness (notice how the mind or anything like the mind is not exhibited anywhere in nature).  Because the mind has a tendency to project its own content onto the external world (perception) it presumes God has human-like traits, thus the anthropomorphic depiction of God is difficult to overcome (as depicted in the Old Testament).

If we are to know what the Lord knows, that would have to include becoming the known (Often sought through the pursuit of enlightenment, the teachings of Christ, and other spiritual/relgious knowledge).  This entails much of what we already commonly know but often neglect.  Thus the Lord seems to be else where waiting in heaven, when in actuality  God is described as omnipresent, and confirmed by Jesus' remark, "The Kingdom of Heaven is with in you."

Answer 2

No, because it would be dull and empty thoughts.

Answer 3

I think I would find much of the same questions in any other creatures mind who has higher intelligence than my own.

"Where did I come from, and why am I here?"

Seriously.

If there is a God who created us, who created that God?

If God can just BE in existance, why can't the human race? It is far more fantastic to think that an ultra-smart Being created everything in the universe versus the idea that life evolved slowly from other creatures and small organisms.

It's a paradox.

Answer 4

Question 2 answers question 1.

Answer 5

No, I wouldn't. I never ask the Lord for more than the next step...I know if I could see the whole picture it would scare me to death.

We are required to be faithful and true, not omniscient. That's His job.
