Exaggeration of transcendence -> Rejection of immanence.


In an effort to exalt the idea of God, some would remove God completely from the world, saying that a truly great Being could not possibly care about this tiny planet and its creatures. But this does not exalt God; instead it limits God by excluding him from our world. This is an arbitrary prejudice of ours because of our physical limitations. But God has no size.



Though the Lord is on high,
he looks upon the lowly,
but the proud he knows from afar.
