The water one is no better. Ice, liquid, and steam all three made up of H2O but yet different and still they come back to the same thing. The thing with this one is that it takes different things to create the different effects. You need below freezing temps to get the water to freeze into ice and you need boiling temps to get the water to the point it turns to steam. At least the temps need to be hot enought he water will start to evaporate.

I just don't think they discribe God well enough.
I don't think we are capable of discribing God fully. "God is a spirit and they who worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth". I've never seen a spirit, holy or unholy. I've expererienced the spirit of God in my life. But I've never physically seen him. And neither has anyone else I know.

I gave up long ago trying to tell you what I think God will look like when we arrive in Heaven. Or trying to figure out how God works. God is so far above me that for me to try to explain Him as if I know everything about Him is ridiculous.

Maybe God gave us things like apples and eggs in order to give us a small glimpse His fullness? I don't know. I really don't. But then again, I don't guess I need to. I know that He loves me. I know that Jesus died for me. And I know that He rose again.

I feel like the blind child who has never seen his parents faces. He knows they love him. He knows they will always take care of him. He never doubts that they want what is best for him. They've seen him. But he's never seen them. But he loves them back.
