The River of Fire

The River of Fire

Here is the pivotal thesis of “The River of Fire” heresy: “Who can love a torturer?”  With this single question “The River of Fire” proclaims to us that others, all the heterodox, that disagree with “The River of Fire” worship a “torturer.”

Having created this false idea “ex nihilo” “The River of Fire” proceeds to redefine God after its own image .  However, with this slight-of-hand we should really understand that “The River of Fire” rejects any idea that God cannot be defined, or that He reveals Himself as He wishes to be known in the Bible.  No, this Self Revelation of God is rejected by “The River of Fire” and must be replaced with a new idea, an idea that exists only in the thinking of “The River of Fire.”

My beloved brothers and sisters in Christ, this is the fundamental definition of idolatry: the idea that man can define God, and make Him into whatever man wants God to be, is idol worship.  The name of this particular form of idolatry is Humanism: the idea that man is the measure of all things, and therefore free to remake God in his own image.  No!  No!  No!  God is not made in the image of man.  Man is made in the image of God.

It is patently absurd, even blasphemous and slanderous, to characterize the God of the Bible as a torturer.  It is even worse to suggest that we may approach God on our own terms.  You may not like the God of the Bible.  That’s your problem.  Get over it.  You will not change God; but, He will change you.  Get used to it.

Who can love this God of the Bible?  I can and I do.  Will you?

“The River of Fire” is an heretical and schismatic document.
