“What strikes us immediately is the greatness of God’s condescension. He had sublime truth to reveal about himself and his Christ, his mercy and his justice, and his full salvation. And he chose to make this disclosure through the vocabulary and grammar of human language, through human beings, human images, and human cultures. Yet through this lowly medium of human words and images, God was speaking of his own Word. Our evangelical doctrine of the inspiration of Scripture emphasizes its double authorship. Men spoke and God spoke.”
John Stott
God is condescending, at least it might seem that way to us; in actuality i don’t think he intends to be condescending. I believe his attitude and choice of wording is deliberately chosen for it’s simplicity in the articulation of his meanings. he might be thinking ” I need to dumb this down as much as possible so as many as possible of my children will understand, if some of them get offended by it SO BE IT, i’m God – if they want to pout about it ; FINE – LET THEM POUT !
