The world of Babel, I don't understand you! I'm a catholic, outside of the Catholic tribe are other tribes of faith and beliefs. We try at times to communicate, sometimes shaking our heads thinking how can one believe that. The same look of astonishment comes our way from the other tribes and we look at each other intensely. We all pull out our book and say See! Some have a book of science as their gospel, some have a book of humanity 101 as the great teacher, some have a book from a prophet of God as the inspired one and some have a book that starts with "In the beginning....". Our book that guides our hearts and minds is held dearly in our arms, we live and die by its words. "The word was made flesh" The Christian book has the word of God step out of the pages and become one of us except for sin. God's word would show the will of the Creator as it exists eternally in a communion of love between the Father and Son. The will, the word, the love between them bring forth the created. The created would rejoice and celebrate its closeness to the divine. The divine would so cherish this relationship that the created and divine would merge eternally in the Son of Man. We have a special relationship with God, we are not God but we are forever linked with him. Our book has a marriage between God and his people as a sign of the love and commitment of hearts. The Bridegroom loves the Bride and would give his life for her, the trials and tribulations ends with "and they lived happily ever after". God and his creation that loves him share a life together with all its ups and downs, they travel the road of time into eternity, side by side.
