You remind me of ...Thanks, Chuck, for your comment. You remind me of an important self-identification from God to Moses, sometimes translated "I am who I am" but better translated "I will be what I will be," which fits with the sentiment of a God whose identity is relative to the situation. I almost included in this post my fondness for philosopher Charles Hartshorne's book, "The Divine Relativity," which posits this and connects with Brueggemann's notion that even God is not autonomous.Chris Glaserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05053827119412315808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-575514155486283253.post-28775419814191905902014-09-10T11:37:36.716-04:002014-09-10T11:37:36.716-04:00I am reminded by what you write here of something ...I am reminded by what you write here of something about the "I am" that God says in response to "Who are you?" It is verb or action of being. Enter-acting with "I am" then "I be"---God happens for me when i am aware of being and it is most usually by way of enteracting with an other even in the sense of that "other" being the me of me. ha! You got that? I do but can't say it. Just be it. Don't dream it! Be it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
