As I explored this choice of the word FATHER ofcourse it occurred to me that would make us all children. All being of one family is an important concept, one embraced throughout time and belief systems. One that really held my interest for the longest time was Kabbalism. Where (I cannot phantom to break down what they believe in a paragraph let alone a sentance) science and spirituality merge, based wholy on the concept that we are one, not merely a family, but an actual unit and each is a part of the whole. This idea sat well with my notions of being children of God, and wondering why we would call him our father. I even speculated, independently if he was a father in the same sense as we are mothers and fathers... okay. Time to go on a tangent, hopefully I'll come back to finish this thought, but. Unlike many religions, we believe that God was once like we are, at least that is what I was taught, but I have not spoken with others about this or anything, but it us in scripture that God was once like us and we aspire to become like him...fast forward to the person Abraham (which sorta means FATHER, right) and we make sense of all of his hardship because it is common knowledge that trials are likened to refining. The improvement we hope to gain is in a direction of our FATHER and Jesus Christ claimed that his father was the only good (what we define as moral correct).
Just last week, I studied that any thought that helps us towards good is of God. It was a given system to determine if thoughts and ideas were even true.
You'll have to think on your own from here, my kids need me....sorta ironic, perhaps intentional.....bye
