The Glory of God is Man Fully Alive

The quote "The Glory of God is man fully alive." was said by St. Irenaeus. St. Irenaeus was a second century  saint. He was a Bishop in the Church of Lyons. Now back to the quote. The idea that the Glory of God is man fully alive has been debated.

The thought that man can decide the Glory of God seems to be overstepping our boundaries. It makes it seem like we are deciding how glorious God is even though His glory cannot be decided by us. Man cannot come to know God but with this quote it makes it look like we are capable of coming to know him.
