“When we try to imagine what God is like we must of necessity use that-which-is-not- God as the raw material for our minds to work on; hence whatever we visualize God to be, He is not, for we have constructed our image out of that which He has made and what He has made is not God. If we insist upon trying to imagine Him, we end with an idol, made not with hands but with thoughts; and an idol of the mind is as offensive to God as an idol of the hand.” IfsTryingMindMadeEndsUseHandsImagineMaterialsIdolsOffensiveRaw Materials Author:Aiden Wilson Tozer

Their religion is essentially inseparable from such idolatry, because of the notion of the 'chosen people'.” PeopleMadeNationsRaceNotionWoodsChosenMetalsIdolsInseparableIdolatryHebrew Book:Letter to a Priest Source: Letter to a Priest
