Perceiving with Believing

But God did not and does not change (see Mal 3:6). It was their perception of God that changed. Indeed, man has never since truly been able to recognize God for Who He is. Fundamentally, man sees God, in character, as a ‘man’ – loftier and grander than himself, but still imagining that the Lord perceives as he perceives, thinks as he thinks – i.e. he continues to believe Satan’s lie.
