God As An Example
It is important to realize that from the bible we have taken our modern way of life. You might believe that since it is very old it might not have any relevance to our world except it being an important text. This is fake, the basis of our society are formed on the bible and as god said “Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day” (Exodus 20)This is from what our week is based on. The week is the most fundamental part of our lives and everything works around it. This is not the only thing that we have taken from the bible. We have also taken feelings like jealousy rage and many others that our clearly represented in the bible and we can see today. The lord shows us that in a way he is also human and that he has some of the feelings that we have and expresses them in similar ways. This is very important for the bible to be considered. If god was not at all like humans then he could get some of his messages through but not all of them. Instead if god has certain human attributes then we can use him as an example of how to deal with our lives.
