@h-jones Hello! Sorry for rudely barging in. (Newcomer here.) Hey, I’m sorry about bringing up such an old thread, but this was one of those wake-up-at-two-in-the-morning-with-a-brilliant-idea sort of ideas. Except I don’t know how brilliant it is. I can’t really picture God as a bear, but how about a whale? Because they are majestic, large, powerful, intelligent, sympathetic creatures that can’t always be seen because they live in a ocean-realm we don’t live in. And as for a sacrificial death he could save them from … a tsunami… or something? I don’t know, there’s just something mystical about a whale. To me, anyway.
I think you were thinking of a bear because C.S. Lewis used a lion, and so you were thinking, I need a powerful animal…lions,tigers, bears (oh my!). Ok, Bears! Am I right?
