Cuz I’d Really Like To Meet Her
Counting Blue Cars by the band Dishwalla was a hit song in 1996. The song is recognizable by the line “Tell me all your thoughts on God, cuz I’d really like to meet her”.
From the Biblical accounts of God we generally see a male entity portrayed, though God has many “roles” his gender seems to be somewhat set. Or is it?
The Shack took the supposition to the nth degree by portraying Yahweh as a female “Papa”. Without second thought it thumbs it’s nose at traditional views of the trinity being “Father, Son and Holy Ghost” or “Male, Male & Female” to more of a defined Son and Holy Ghost and much more fluid Godhead.
So why does this ruffle our feathers? Because it contradicts the Bible? Or is it because the Hebrew and Greek languages were to simple to convey this complex relationship? John 16:12 says:
I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.
If God is more complex than the Bible defines, is it heresy to say that He is unable to reveal these deeper truths now? Are we limited to the definitions in the Bible? Think about John 16:12. I’ll talk about it more next week.
THANK YOU!!!!! I have been looking for this song for forever and couldn’t find anything, didn’t know who write or sang it, what it was called, etc. THANKS!!!!!
