Hashem

The Bible says that God created us in His own image.  Unfortunately, George Bernard Shaw was correct when he said, “We have decided to return the favor.”  There is no doubt that most Christians want a God in their own image, but that’s not the God who is revealed in Jesus Christ.  He is not an American who would carry within his psyche all the traits of judgment and prejudices so evident among those who want nothing to do with the God who breaks loose in the Sermon on the Mount.  He is not the God of Jonathan Edwards, who preached “Sinners in the Hand of an Angry God.”  Instead, the God of the red letters is the God that we find in the Beatitudes –Tony Campolo
