The most tangible expression of who God is that you can have access to.

Yeah, totally.

It's you and your neighbors.

And your enemies.

Yeah, that's right.

So whether you are reducing or replacing, there's this third problem, which is missing out on something that seems pretty important.

Which is the role and the purpose of humanity.

You talked about each of these commands, these words we can flip.

So there's the do not, and then there's the flip.

And then in the flip, you've got much kind of bigger universe to explore.

Don't create an image.

Flip it.

You're the image.

don't make an image rather be the image which is pretty darn open-ended yeah that's like takes a whole human life to figure out and even longer yeah and so these two work together i'm yahweh elohim i am the creator god i rescued you from egypt i rescued out of slavery don't have any other elohim before me i am your life i am yours i am life

And so very closely connected to that then, if we're going to make Yahweh life, when we think that there is this good and this beauty that we can find beyond ourselves, that is true life, what we're looking for is Yahweh.

But how does it actually kind of, what's our tangible expression of that?

How do we do that?

I am.

And I am love.

What I am is love.
