  %GOD'S LAW HUMAN CREATION UNDERSTANDING INTERPRET 940904

     Religious  legalists  are often  tempted  to  worship
their understanding of religious laws, rules, regulations,
prohibitions,  and injunctions---thinking that because the
focus  of  their  attention is God's law,   they  are  not
falling  into  the  traps of idolatry.    They  refuse  to
acknowledge that   their  own  understanding  of such laws
is in  any case  a human  creation  which is not worthy of
worship. They confuse/equate  their own understanding with
with  God's  creation.   They forget that not  even  God's
creations  are  worthy  of  worship.    Only  God  who  is
essentially  mysterious  and beyond  human  understanding,
manipulation,  control,  ensymbolment,  and  analysis---is
worthy of worship.
