Is God Undefinable?

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.



Xenophanes of Colophon

On a previous post I asked Where is God? Here’s a response.

Where is God?

God is everywhere. God is in heaven and God is on earth. God is in every place where there is joy. God is in every place where there is beauty. God is in every place where there is love?

Can we see God?

No, not yet. God is so different from us that we can’t see Him with our eyes. Some day, in heaven, we will see him face to face. When we look at our father and our mother who love one another and their children, we see something of the way God loves and takes care of his children.

With respect to the writer that doesn’t answer the question for me. If anything it raises even more questions.

In the 6th century BC Xenophanes wrote:

“The Ethiopians say that their gods are snubnosed and blackskinned and the Thracians that theirs are blye-eyed and red-haired.

If only oxen and horses had hands and wanted to draw with their hands or to make the works of art that men make, then horses would draw the figures of their gods like horses, and oxen like oxen, and would make their bodies on the model of their own.”

Therefore, even 2600 years ago, it was realised that man makes God in his own image. So how can we ever describe God?  God must surely be more than we can possibly imagine and is therefore undefinable. Or perhaps you disagree.

      “No man hath seen God at any time; the only-begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, He hath declared Him”.
      If you want to meet the God who created you, you can do so.
      “Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if any man hear My voice and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he wih Me.”
      This is the greatest miracle of all. Your Creator loves you, and He died for you, so that you could meet Him, and be with Him for evermore.
      But remember, you must believe, and you must obey, to prove that you believe.
      “He that believeth on the Son hath eternal life; but he that obeyeth not the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abideth on him”.

      In my mind, GOD is all-love. He is NOT a wrathful GOD!!

        He did his about-face, in the New Testament. Don’t ask me why, I liked the Jimmy that firebombed Sodom and Gommorah, much better. But, along comes his kid, and suddenly Jimmy’s a hippie. Never did get that. :lol: :lol: :lol:
