Is God an Imaginary Being?

"Some might think God an imaginary being 
and ask, what good is it 
to compare ourselves to something made up? 

The answer is that if God is an imaginary being, 
he is a being very easy to imagine. 
That is because we can see ourselves and 
the other creatures around us. 
If we can see what is different 
between a beast and a man, 
then it is not hard to imagine 
what would be the next step after man. 

If we can see inside ourselves 
which are the better 
and which are the worst capacities, 
then we can imagine a being 
with only those better capacities. 
If we can see that these better capacities 
that we possess are still imperfect in us, 
then we can imagine them perfected. 

Not only the Bible but also the classic authors 
conclude that nature points to the heavens."


Larry P. Arnn, The Founders’ Key, pg. 51-51.

Yes! For Hillsdale!

Jill, I’ve been thinking, hoping, praying, that you and Glenn are not badly affected by the terrible winds that blew through your state. I’m so sorry to know of the loss so many have had. Those straight line winds are fierce, as they came through here a while back. Thankful for God’s protection over us.

Thank you for your prayers and care. We have had straight line winds before so we understand the peril. This time it was so wide spread and almost statewide. We have struggled, but are doing well. Thank you!
