According to C.S. Lewis in "Mere Christianity," we can't fully understand what it means to be like God, but we can have a vague idea of it. The speaker used to imagine God as a king on a throne, but now realizes that God is beyond our comprehension. They believe that the human mind cannot fully grasp God's nature and that God is present in everything. God is not just a man-like figure but something much greater. So for our next question out of the book Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis, he has a quote that goes like this, we can't conceive of being like God, but we can get the faint notion of it. What does that mean to you, Paul? So for me, when I read that quote, the first few words, we can't conceive of being like God. So when I was younger, I used to picture God as like a king on a throne, you know, in children's book. But as I got older and got more reasoning in my mind, then I started to realize that God is a king on a throne, but it's not like as in a children's book, as it's portrayed a king on a throne. It's like something that like, we have no clue what God is. We just, we, like I said, we get the faint notion of it. Yeah, I agree with certain things of that. I don't think the human mind is capable of fathoming what and who God is to his full extent. You know, I do think when we're younger, we have this picture of God as being this older, you know, type of grandpa type of man with a beard and a white robe. But I think God transcends anything that we can even think of what God is, because God is in everything and everywhere. Even in the Bible, it says, let everything that has breath praise the Lord, plants, you know, are even praising the Lord, animals, they have breath, they praise the Lord. So God is not just this being that we have in our minds of like this, this ultimate man, you know, God is so much bigger than that.
