Late night awakenings....ramblings...

So I rarely sleep lately...I have bouts of insomnia that usually correct themselves after the stress that causes it is resolved...
Last night up late I began chatting with a old high school friend on Instant Messenger.. we talked past relationship woes current financial woes and then we began discussing our spiritual beliefs and I read as he typed about how he always felt a connection to God but never to the "social scene" that he perceived Church to be. Then he asked me about my own beliefs and wow he didn't even know the can of worms that would open!!
But out of being forced to explain what I know in my self to be the truth about my beliefs I was able to ask some rather challenging questions of myself!!
I told him that I believe that Christ sacrificed himself to save us not because that is what God needed him to do to open heaven to us but what we humans needed him to do so that we could believe that we are worthy of the Love that God has for us and wants us to share. I told him that I get irritated when I hear folks say Jesus is God and God alone, not to doubt the divinity of Christ but the limitation of GOD into a compartment....So then to further explain I said its like saying that the bottle of Dannon in my fridge is the Pacific Ocean...not negating that Dannon is water but that it was just water and not the whole and entire expanse of life as an ocean....Life giving properties water has and a small bottle of it can change the world literally~ Christ as the living example of God's love.. the word made manifest into flesh as the Prophetic scripture required...But is the short life of Christ walking among us really the total representation of the creator of the Universe? If so then who was he praying to during all the prayers...he was pleading in some scripture to not have to fulfill the scriptural prophecies..who was he pleading with? Theologians will debate and people will argue and have their own views..but I state only my own.....
This more more than my friend bargained for in conversation but it was helpful for me to put into definable context how I actually perceive this. It has been my experience that "christians" and "muslims", "hindus", "agnostics", "druze", "jews" and any others often identify themselves as Desani, Dannon, and Vitamin water without recognizing the fact of H2O being undeniably H2O no matter who its packaged by and what additives are placed in it..... God's reality does not depend on us... No matter how many containers and nice packages we wrap our creator in the make up is the same God as always and hopefully this world will get thirsty enough and Drink in God finally!!
I often take issue with the limitations humans put on this life that we have been given...in some scripture you will read Christ saying that life was given to us to live abundantly...I wonder if he thought abundance was containable?
