When Christianity is properly taught it transforms culture into its servant. Christianity is universally applicable to all peoples, and culture is adaptable.
What do you do on a dark rainy day? I normally fall deep into contemplation on scripture and theological thought. This morning I was thinking about how being created in the likeness of God is our participation in the creation of reality. I was connecting this with God's self-revelation in Exodus 34.
The decalogue contains prohibitions on both free speech and on types of illicit thought. The assigning of God’s name (person) with anything that is contrary to truth and goodness, anything that attempts to co-opt God as though God is not alive, is abusive of the one whose name Israel was given.
