What a powerless GOD?
-
How poorly we understand our Rubb? How perverted the concept we have of him? How inept and powerless we have made him? How many contradiction we have in our conception about him? A god keeps swearing to proof his worthiness to creation. Is not this a pity on ourselves? Is not this is what traditionalist understanding suggest of him.
Traditional translations added only for sake of easy of comparing. No intent to belittle others belief, work or understanding. Hence, should be viewed as such.
