Was Jesus right-brained or left-brained? What a weird question to ask, but it's the thing that keeps me awake at nights. I think most preachers paint him as a left-brained, type-A, person, while music leaders, picture him as the opposite (of course their are exceptions).
For myself, I wonder. Isn't it interesting how much of ourselves we constantly put into Jesus. Think of all those blonde-haired, blue-eyed Jesuses in so many paintings. Or why do people get so irate over the "black Jesus" of Jeremiah Wright?
This all goes back to making gods in OUR image, and Buddhists and Atheists are eating this stuff up! So many people are so guilty of over-teaching the attributes of God/Jesus/Spirit.
For example, JW's say, "God is love, so He wouldn't send people to an eternal Hell." Pacifists say, "God is peace, so all violence is sinful and rebellious." Shouldn't we instead let the Bible tell us and inform us what God means by "love" and "peace"? That is, the WHOLE Bible.
God is not bi-polar, and He does not contradict himself. He does not fit our boxes and categories. I'm pretty sure I'm going to be surprised by what I see when I meet Him, so I'll try to put the brakes on breaking the second commandment in idea form.
