Do you recognize the paradoxes in the description of your God?

Can he possibly be the Omni-everything as described?

I find it interesting that God is described as unknowable, unfathomable and one who we cannot possibly understand with our lack of intelligence. He also works in mysterious ways.

Does it sound to you like the bibles authors went a bit overboard in their description of a God whom they say cannot be known or fathomed?

If they could not fathom anything of God, why do you think you can?

When you do describe your un-describable God, --- based purely on hearsay and book-says, --- as a Christian, --- do you see that unknowable information that you think you know to be true even though the bible itself says it cannot be, --- as lying?

If not, how do you know you speak the truth?

Thee bolded part sounds like cliffy's description of God, he isn't all that critical when reading the Bible.

If the Scriptures seem to be inconsistent then the error is most likely in our understand, or lack of.

The Bible contains a certain amount of information about God, it is better to review that material before trying to understand things about God that aren't written down.

If it wasn't the truth there would be better arguments against what I propose.

Mostly the 'art of cooking'.

=====================


The bible is full of lies about God as no one could fathom him in the first place.


Give us one piece of information that we can know is rightfully fathomed of your unfathomable God. Just one.

Would the bolded part just happen to be the whole area of the earth that is considered to be 'the inhabitable parts of the earth' as that is the ratio that is called dry land?

Re:6:8:
And I looked,
and behold a pale horse:
and his name that sat on him was Death,
and Hell followed with him.
And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth,
to kill with sword,
and with hunger,
and with death,
and with the beasts of the earth.

Frenchie - So, if a person doesn't have the capacity to understand something, then that something must not exist? Perhaps the elephant doesn't believe the notion fish spend their lives entirely underwater. It must be true then. Fish don't live underwater.
One must be born of the Spirit to understand. The blind will not see and the deaf will not hear. It isn't about who is the best debater. It is about being born of the Spirit.
It does seem you are driven to prove God & Bible to be a fraud.

Born of the spirit is an interesting concept. Born of the spirit can mean different experiences to believers of various religions. For me it was just a spring board to a larger perspective of god.

The human mind that thinks they have a clear perspective on god is delusional. Like the vast expanse of the Universe, one can only continue to expand their perspective but can only hope to ever reach a place where one can only perceive a miniscule part of it. The Universe is infinite and so is what people perceive as god. Can the Who perceive the entirety of Horton? We are the Who in an infinite Universe. To think we are capable of even the tiniest of perception is so egotistical as to be hysterically laughable.

Today we have faith without proof, the next change is for the ones that will be alive for the 1,000 years, that is with a glorified body which includes a sinless heart and an immortal body. To say we can read a book and have experienced a second birth takes away from the way the new earth verses work. The most enlightened ones were the writers of Scripture and with that came certain gifts that set them apart from the 'flock'. If we haven't gotten that far then we can't get gifts that exceed that level of belief.

There are not many recorded events of a wildebeest making an escape from danger. A water buffalo now that is a different story.

Do you mean to say that in the last 2000 years there have been no enlightened ones? Sorry, but life doesn't work like that. There have been many enlightened one since the bible was written to entertain sheep and goat herders. Humanity has evolved but some still prefer to live in the past.
