This piece is not about what God thinks of dogs.
This is about how people treat their dogs - versus - how they respond to God.
Albert Einstein’s IQ was closer to his dog’s IQ, than to God's IQ.
Why do so many people think they are the most intelligent creatures in the Universe
and have sovereignty over all other creatures, while there exists a Being who is:
* infinitely more intelligent
* unmistakably more capable,
* and incontestably more powerful?
Humans fall down when they are drunk, so they can’t even manage a peaceful co-existence
This is about how people treat their dogs - versus - how they respond to God.
People consider themselves superior to dogs and believe they are qualified to own these creatures.
Why?
Dogs are faster than humans.
Dogs have far better hearing and sense of smell than humans,
Why?
Dogs are faster than humans.
Dogs have far better hearing and sense of smell than humans,
and can even sense the onset of certain seizures and diseases.
Dogs can find both the living and the dead.

A dog can kill a human four times its size.
But humans can organize, focus their intellect, and invent weapons.
So humans assume the right to control other creatures as needed:
* domesticating and working some, like dogs and horses,

So humans assume the right to control other creatures as needed:
* domesticating and working some, like dogs and horses,
* adopting some as family members.. (fatherless kids have to wonder about dads
that abandoned them, yet took the dog with him...)
* eating others,
* zooing others,
* and destroying still others (mosquitos, regularly)
Now think about humans and God...
If the human intellect were measured as one grain of sand per person,
God’s intellect would be greater than all the grains of sand on all the beaches of the world.

Humans fall down when they are drunk, so they can’t even manage a peaceful co-existence
with gravity; a consistent, uncomplicated, completely predictable power, with no free will of its own.
And God created gravity.

A lot of people focus more on their pets than on God.
Have you seen dog training videos?
Have you seen dog training videos?
Did you know that a dog's intelligence is largely determined by its trainability?
Are you open to being so thoroughly trained by God?
And hoomans expect their dogs to obey them and love them
Are you open to being so thoroughly trained by God?
And hoomans expect their dogs to obey them and love them
when we aren’t even smart enough to know their language,
while God has made His expectations for us clear,
while God has made His expectations for us clear,
in writing that nearly everyone with a written language can understand.
Humans expect their pets to happily accept any new pet the human brings home.

Or when their human brings home another human, eh?
And many people consider themselves superior beings, because they adopt rescue dogs.
But God has been adopting people since human time began.

This is what 'Salvation' is all about.
Some humans actually think they love their dogs
more than God's loves them.
This is so wrong.
Some might ask, “Which God would I serve, since there seems to be so many?”
Jesus was seen by over 500 of his followers
Some might ask, “Which God would I serve, since there seems to be so many?”
Jesus was seen by over 500 of his followers
when He rose from the dead - on Resurrection Sunday. (1 Corinthians 15)
I have bet my eternal soul on Jesus, that he is part of the Holy Trinity we call 'God'.
UFOs
Why would some people rather believe in UFOs,
which means an alien civilization coming to earth,
yet not want to believe that Jesus will return someday?
Just asking...
