Let’s look at Exodus 33. Why did God say that He would not go up with the Israelites? The Lord said to ...read more

The Mind Of The Lord Series

Contributed by Robert Leroe on Aug 25, 2013

God transcends words. He is beyond language. We cannot reduce Him to our experience. God is unique and different from anything in this world. He is massive, boundless, beyond all imagining. God is His own category.
