Do you realize you are the clay?

Question

We are the clay, and God is the molder. Would a building (if it could speak) say about it's builder "I have no builder" -No!
How can you think you are above Him?
He made all of us! Those who do not believe, or have ill feelings towards God, do not know God....how can you question Him, when He is the one who is above you?

Isaiah 29:16
You turn things upside down, as if the potter were thought to be like the clay! Shall what is formed say to him who formed it, "He did not make me"? Can the pot say of the potter, "He knows nothing"?

Answer 1

And your point would be? If you had a thought going, you lost it in this question.

Jesus said that the only way men could come to Him was if they were drawn to Him by the Father. You are coming across as judgmental of the non-believers. I am a believer, so I am on your side, but you cannot throw obscure things at the lost masses. They do not understand what you are saying and they see you as a wack-o.

This is all said in love. Live out your faith so that they will see that you are true. Christians MUST do this if the world is to have any respect for them. The " do whatever you want because you are covered by grace" nonsense has made the Christians look like a bunch of fools in the eyes of those they are trying to reach. YOU be the clay and let HIM mold you into something He can use to reach the world. Always remember---it's all about the RED WORDS! Shalom.

Answer 2

Any of those places previously listed should have clay, but you will want to call the store first, you can find the numbers in the white pages of your local phone book, just to be sure that the particular store carries it, or that it is currently in stock. I know that the Joann's that i work at no longer carries clay. So you can save yourself a trip if they dont have it and just call another store!

Answer 3

I added you to my contacts for a reason..
I do not think I am above God
however I am not sure I believe in him
the reason I converted from being a Catholic to a Buddahist is not only because I did not get why you should worship an altar when it specifically says in the Bible not to worship an idol but because I have a "third eye and charka". If I asked a priest or some sort of Religious person in Christianity/ Catholic why when I meditate I have feelings in my forehead that are rather strange they could not answer me and think I am crazy though I am not lying. Buddahism and Metaphysics explain me more it seems..although there is some buddahism that incorporates Christianity which I am trying to find out more about. And also I believe in Shinto; a japanese religon that believes in "kami" or spirits. Since I was young I have believed in spirits I would think that the sea was living and so was the trees. I felt guilty to disect a frog in school yet no Christians in my class did. Many Christians or Catholics I have met not only would think I am crazy but seem to think that animals are below them which I find self absorbed. I do not even like to keep pets since I believe in reincarnation and what makes anyone think that they have the right to lock anything up in a cage?And the truth behind any religon is that you have to believe in it. The Bible has been twisted around so many times. There is even skepticism about Juda not being the bad guy at all; but just doing what Jesus told him to do. There are things about me that many Christians think I am crazy for especially if I explained my third eye to them they would think I am possessed. The only way you know God is if you believe in him. Not everyone was raised Christian so of course how are they going to believe in him? Yet God is merciful so how would we know that someone who has not had Christian influence in their life is going to go straight to hell?
Another thing; I do not like how Christianity seems to believe that "till death do us part" I believe in true love. I believe soul mates reincarnate. That is not fair that we just die and that's it our lover isn't going to be with us in heaven holding our hand or kissing us affectionately. I will not believe that. Love is eternal if that is one thing I do know for sure

Answer 4

Nope, I'm a carbon based lifeform that is the result of about 3 billion years of evolution here on Earth.

I am not a clay pot thank you very much.

Answer 5

Your claim is based on a logical fallacy: begging the question
It is a line of circular logic that proves to be illogical and irrational when tested.

You cannot rightfully say that the creation is questioning its creator without first proving that this creator exists and that the creation is in fact a creation made by this creator. Once you have proved this, you may then start with the clay and molding talk.

Otherwise you are talking in circles.

Answer 6

Which is it now;? men from dirt and woman from man's ribs, man made from dirt god using clay to mold man then snatch out his ribs to create a woman or were both genders made out clay? So now we should call him clay daddy? Would have been smart if your deity left actual traces that no human special effects could do. Till then I ain't buying that spoon fed mess. Next I will be told I was made out of the mud God walked on or his spleen.

Answer 7

We materialized but we are not matter. We are spirit entrapped in the human flesh out of which came a soul born out of ignorance of the truth.

Answer 8

The body is made of clay, but the body is not me.

I am a child of God. God is family and not above me or below me. My Father and I are one..."I" am a temporary dream.

~ Eric Putkonen

Answer 9

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge,
But fools despise wisdom and instruction. (Proverbs 1:7)

Answer 10

but we know for a fact that the pot was made by the potter- people saw it and the potter exists and is visible...

to me that is an unfair comparrison- one involves faith (a silly belief in something that has little proof) and one is just a fact.
