Theology made simple : )

[Guest guest]

This is a story relates to a King's Prime Minister.His adversaries in the court

had made plans to demote him in the eyes of the king and to do so had prepared

three difficult theological questions for him to answer.The king sent for the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister knew that he would not

be able to answer these difficult theological questions. He asked a friend who was

religiously orientated to go in his place.As soon as the friend entered the king's court, he asked the king to let him sit on

the throne as that was customary. The highest seat must be offered to the guru

(teacher)! He then asked the king to sit at his feet and ask the questions.

The king was quite shocked at this behaviour but complied. The first question asked by the king was:"Where does God live?"

The man asked for some milk to be brought to the court. Then he asked the king,

"Oh King, where in the milk does the fat reside?"The king said, "The fat does not reside in any one part of the milk but resides everywhere"."So it is with God, he does not reside in the heavens or any such place but resides

everywhere", said the man.The king was satisfied with the answer. He asked the second question,

"In which direction does God look?".The man asked for a lighted lamp to be brought to the court. He asked the king,

"In which direction does the light travel?""In all directions at the same time", replied the king."God too looks in all directions at the same time", replied the man.The king was pleased with the answer, then he asked his third question,

"What does God do?".The man replied, "God likes to play. He makes the poor man sit on the King's throne andmakes the King sit at his feet."

Everyone smiled.The king liked all the answers and made him his chief advisor.Theology made simple : )
