I agree with Hanne that we are not able to fully understand God as we see “through postcolonial lenses” and the famous saying of ”God is God and we are not.” We do tend to read everything according to the context we live in as we really have no option of being 100% unbias with our understanding of anything, including Scripture. I–along with most of humanity–struggle with wanting to play God’s role in creation while pretending that we have Him completely figured out and thus know best. We need to be open to others’ interpretations of life, traditions, culture, but most importantly the Bible.
