1 Corinthians 10:22 Are we trying to arouse the Lord’s jealousy? Are we stronger than he?
I think the one thing God hates more than anything else is when people will try to promote an idol into His position. How can we expect to take something we have made and promote it into the position of the God who has made us?
For us to be able to do that would mean that we think that we are in some way stronger or better than He is.
When we turn round to our parents and tell them that we are better than they are they have mixed feelings for us: despair that we should come to that point, disappointment that we should not respect them, and much more. How do you think God should feel?
