The Logos.

The topic in class yesterday was an interesting one to me. We spoke about many topics, but the one that caught my attention was the one that mentioned God and how are we closer to Him through logos. Language I feel was created by God, given the story of the tower of Babel. When they said that God is Logos I feel that they mean God is able to understand all languages, including non-verbal language. The only Logos that does bring us closer to God is when it is paired with sincerity/ when it is from the heart. When people speak to Him he doesn't only look at the lips but he looks at the heart and how sincere it is. Anyone could easily say , "I love God." A non-believe could just say it because they feel like saying it. The only way we get closer to God through Logos is if sincerity is paired with it.
Another thing that got my attention was the talk of free will. Yes God did give us free will, but just because we exercise it doesn't mean we are going to heaven. God gives us the bible, and it is up to us whether or not we follow it, its not like if you curse Him (in this day and age) you will drop dead. It's your choice whether you believe or not. In the beginning we never did have the power to choose. When He made Adam and Eve (before the fruit was eaten)evil wasn't known. However, since they did eat the fruit that was when free will was born. That's when the knowledge of good and evil was known. Based on our choices now, i what we are going to be judged by God for later. These are just my thoughts on things discussed in class. I am not forcing these thoughts on anyone. It is just my response.
