{"quotes":[{"text":"One of the most breathtaking concepts in all of Scripture is the revelation that God knows each of us personally and that we are in His mind both day and night. There is simply no way to comprehend the full implications of His love by the King of kings and Lord of lords. He is all-powerful and all-knowing, majestic and holy, from everlasting to everlasting. Why would He care about us—about our needs, our welfare, our fears? We have been discussing situations in which God doesn’t make sense. His concern for us mere mortals is the most inexplicable of all.","author":"James C.

Many times the translator reaches a fork in the translating road where they must make a choice in the interpretation of a word. And each time they make one of these choices, they are taken further from the truth. But what we aren’t told is that this isn’t a shortcoming of translation; it’s a shortcoming of language itself. As soon as we try to put reality into words, we limit it. Words are not reality, they are the cause of reality, and thus reality is always more. Writers aren't alchemists who transmute words into the aurous essence of the human experience. No, they are glassmakers. They create a work of art that enables us to see inside to help us understand. And if they are really good, we can see our own reflections staring back at us.","author":"Kamand Kojouri","tags":["alchemists","art","artists","artwork","aurous","choice","choose","chose","comprehend","equal","equivalence","equivalent","explain","explanation","fork","glass","glassmaker","gold","help","human-experience","interpret","interpretation","interpretation","interpreter","kamand","kamand-kojouri","kojouri","language","limit","limitation","linguistics","mirror","paraphrase","poets","portray","read","reading","reality","reflection","restate","reveal","road","shortcoming","simplify","speak","talk","told","translating","translation","translation","translator","transmute","truth","understand","words","write","writer","writers","writing","writing"],"id":132339,"author_id":"Kamand+Kojouri"},{"text":"We cannot begin to define God's knowledge.
