Answer:
A connotation is a commonly understood cultural or emotional association that some word or phrase carries, in addition to its explicit or literal meaning, which is its denotation. A connotation is frequently described as either positive or negative, with regard to its pleasing or displeasing emotional connection. For example, a stubborn person may be described as being either strong-willed or pig-headed; although these have the same literal meaning, strong-willed connotes admiration for the level of someone's will, while pig-headed connotes frustration in dealing with someone.
I am worried that people now days are getting so familiar with God or at least their idea of God that they have lost the respect due, to God Almighty. They view him as little more then a good friend who will understand if they at times don't treat him as the creator of the universe. They have more of a horizontal view of God then a vertical view. This comes from the humanism which has infiltrated even the evangelical church. We have elevated ourselves, by promoting such things as the need for self-esteem in order to understand God's love for us. We no longer focus on his character but on ours. Or we bring him down to our level by teaching that there is a time and place for a person to forgive God for the things we have held against him. "It is no longer sin to hold something against God; it is normal and we should deal with it by letting it go and forgiving him."
Answer:
They see the same as we do, it just gives them a greater perception of things around them.
