Are you creating God in Your image?

As I watch TV, listen to people, and observe events throughout the years, I have seen a disturbing occurrence. Man has created a God for themselves over the true God that created us. When one is to know a being we must first seek to know about who that being is and how he sees things. The source of that answer is found either from that source or at best from those closest to the being. In our case that Being is God and the closet to that being is his Son, the Christ. We know this because scripture tells us no man knows The Father but the Son. And the way the Son made the Father and one true God known was by way of his actions because Christ always did things in the will of the Father. Christ also referred back to law and his Fathers words for direction because this revealed the character of God. Christ never approved the continued life of sin. He alway said, “sin no more”. It is the one way we can express who God is, his love, and most importantly his requirements and ways he expresses that Love and how its defined in his view. God never expresses his kingdom, character, and or actions through mans thoughts and ways. His ways are not ours, as scriptures warns and shows us over and over. But what we have done is create a God that fits our wants, our morals in our country, our sense of right and wrong, our sense of justice, even our sense of theological belief. We do it even in our imagination and paintings, when we think about how God looks and or how his Son looks. Everybody wants God/his Son to look like them. We want God to be an American, a Old man, a being walking around in sandles or even clothes for that matter(clothing would not be for a spirit). We want him to be our Genie in the bottle when we want something, we want him to support our definition of Love to include homosexuality and fornication even though his word clearly stands against it. We want to redefine what a wife and or what husband is because our country and TV says so. We want him to think about our kids like we do when we allowed kids to choose whatever they want to do and basically raise themselves without the rod because society says so. Or best yet, they create a God that says that he wouldn’t punish man for the sins much less sentence them to the lake of fire. They stand up with their chest out and claim boldly,  as if it matters, that they wouldn’t want anything to do with a God that sends people to such places. As if their opinion or stance to not serve him really makes a difference to what he declared already or removes their sentence. All these things and more paint a picture of two different God’s. The one most churches and people have created. And the one that is spoke about in scripture. The true God is sovereign, he is the one that destroyed nations of people because they didn’t obey, the one that brought plagues on men, woman, and even killed babies because of the sins of people. The one that defines love as Pure, not mixed with lusted for sexual desires, and or any other act taking place outside from that marriage between a real man and real woman. Yes, this is the True God Yeshua spoke about as his God and Father. He is just and yet he is the judge. He will rule heaven on earth in the end and upon that unification he will seek to make those against what he is and what he defines as right to suffer forever. This isn’t the pictures painted in churches because they are afraid of offending people in the churches that are living with their boyfriends and girlfriends, having homosexual relationships, dressing and dancing around like prostitutes and yet CLAIMING the name of “Jesus” on Sunday. Their defense is to claim others can’t judge them. But the word can and based on the word, the God they claim to serve that is ok with these things is not the same God of the Bible nor the one Christ obeyed as his God and Father. So ask yourself, did God create us in his image or have we created a God in ours? Is this why he says “get away from me, he never knew you”? Maybe the reason is that you were woreshiping your created God thinking that this was Yahweh, when it wasn’t.
