Ever see someone make shadow puppets? Take their hand, put it between a light source and a wall, and project images of different things by making different shapes with their hands?
I used to think that that's how God was. All we are capable of seeing of Him was His "shadow", and at different times it looked like different things. Sometimes wildly different, even contradictory, things. But in the end, it's all the same Hand.
That's what I used to think. Until I realized that the analogy breaks down when you observe that we aren't even capable of seeing the "shadow".
