Letter to the Editor
The Bible is a book about God who longs for a relationship with all of humankind. It is full of metaphors that help us understand the expansive reality of God. Metaphors are used in the bible to expand meaning, to be more than the literal interpretation. In order to comprehend the Spirit of God, humans use human characteristics to explain God because it is our only way to express spiritual awareness.
