Dogs and God
DOGS AND GOD
Does this look like your relationship with God?
more below...
This article is not about what God thinks of dogs. This is about how people treat their dogs, versus how they respond to God.
People consider themselves superior to dogs and believe they are qualified to own these creatures, and to own and work them.
Why?
Dogs are faster than humans.
Dogs have far better hearing and smell than humans and can even sense the onset of certain seizures and diseases.
Dogs can find both the living and the dead.
A mean dog can kill a human four times larger than itself.
But humans can organize, focus their intellect, and control more of their surroundings.
So humans assume the right to control other creatures as needed,
domesticating some animals, like dogs and horses,
eating others,
zooing others,
and destroying still others, like mosquitos and spiders.
Now think about the difference between humans and God.
If the average human intellect of one person were measured as one grain of sand,
God’s intellect would be greater than all the grains of sand on all the beaches of the world.
Albert Einstein’s IQ was closer to his dog’s, Chico Marx, than it was to God's IQ.
Why do so many people think they are the most intelligent creatures in the Universe
and have sovereignty over all other creatures that they can overpower,
yet they ignore God, who is:
unmistakably more intelligent
infinitesimally farther-knowing,
and incontestably more powerful?
Humans fall down when they are drunk, so they can’t even manage a peaceful existence with gravity,
a consistent power,
a completely predictable power,
a power with no free will of its own.
So, how can people think they get along with a Supreme Being, who also has a free will...

without investing themselves in the relationship?
And a lot of people focus more on their pets than on God.

Have you seen any dog training videos?
Did you know that a dog's intelligence is largely rated according to their trainability?
Are you open to being so thoroughly trained by God?
And hoomans expect their dogs to obey them and love them when humans aren’t even smart enough to speak or understand dog-language,
while God has made His expectations for us clear in writing that nearly everyone with a written language can understand.
.
And humans bring home other pets and expect the old pets to magically accept them.
Just because the human said so.
Many people consider themselves superior beings because they adopt rescue dogs.
But God has been adopting humans since human time began.
This is what 'Salvation' is all about.

God loves us, and wants to be with us
But some might ask, “Which God would we serve, since there seems to be so many?”
Jesus rose from the dead - on Resurrection Sunday, and some 500 of his followers witnessed it.
I have bet my eternal soul that Jesus is the visible part of the true Trinity-Godhead.
He is worthy of my attention and devotion,
the very thing that people expect from their dogs.
