What Are The Possible Attributes Of God
What we are showing is the major contrast between Jesus' reported thought on God and the thought of the first Christians on God. Why did Jesus use the term, God? What in his "body of meaning" made Jesus use the term, God, without defining what God is? Go to the dicitionary now and what do you find as a dictionary definition of God? And is this what Jesus meant in his use of the various terms for God? Or is it possible that Jesus never defined God because there is no God that can be defined as God, other than the experience of life that we have?Let's not get into the argument that God is more and greater than the human mind can comprehend. Why? Because you are using a human mind, already defined as limited, to make an unlimited statement about an unlimited God, which you have already admitted to that your mind is too limited to define God, I guess since God's mind is so much greater than yours. Well, let me just say that my mind is good enough to tell me a lot of things, and within that range of awareness I will point out logically any contradictions I see in what humans like me assert is God. I'm not arguing with God. I am contesting the views of some other human beings.
Maybe, in Jesus' thought and ours, there is no God, no entity, that is outside the created universe, that there is no God who goes against natural law and performs miracles in going contrary to natural law, that there is no God that intervenes personally in a human life to do good or to respond to prayer as the desire for something one does not have that can only come from God?
Yet, if there is no God in Jesus' thought, you can ask, why then did he use the term, God, on occasion?
