Book Tagging

I've been tagged by Jenn from My Musings for a kind of book sentence thing. So I thought I would play along.

Here are the rules first-- so you don't think I'm nuts by just posting some sentences from a book:
1. Pick up the nearest book (of at least 123 pages).
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the next three sentences.
5. Tag five people.

My FAMILIA Book was the closest.

Although humans are made in God's image and likeness, God -- so much greater than we are-- is totally different, beyond us. Attributing masculine and feminine qualities to God is a kind of anthropomorphism and analogy.

There are two moments of God's Revelation:
We have his speaking in the Old Testament. There he tells us that man and woman are made in his image and likeness. One of the ways in which men and woman are like to God, is the ability to love truly and therefore to give life to another. So it is that a man reflects in his own physical being more prefectly that God is the first origin and transcendent authority, God's protective love. Some Old Testament passages compare Gods love for us humans in masculine images of bridegroom and father (Hos 11:1-4; Jer 3:4-19). On the other hand, the woman has the gift to be able to express in a more direct manner God's tenderness, his gentleness, love and compassion. Indeed, God's love is sometimes compared to that of a mother's love (Is 49:14-14: 66:13; Ps 131:2-3). In these moments Sacred Scripture reveals to us the gentleness and tenderness of God's love for his people. We can see both the male and fmale attributes given to God in the many Scriptural references where God describes his love as being like that of a husband, a father, a sheperd, and in other places he describes his love as having the characteristics of a woman's love for her husband, her children.

I wanted to add more to my sentences.. so you could see where it was coming from.
I'll tag.. five people.. do five people even read my blog? Don't feel like you guys have to do this if you don't want too, but I bet you guys read some good stuff.
