Amazing quote

Filed under: God stuff — katie @ 11:23 am

I have nothing original to say, but oh how I love to quote those that amaze me with their thinking. :)

“God is the truth, but nowhere in the Bible does it say we’re entitled and guaranteed to perfectly perceive and understand the whole truth all the time. Quite a lot of stuff isn’t clear to us now, and quite a lot will never be, perhaps not even when we meet God in person. Theology is the study of God, and that means that it’s a study of an omnipotent, omnicient, and omnibenevolent being by beings who are none of these. We have no direct frame of reference for much of what God is like, simply because we know of nothing like him. All the people we know do fail, do betray, do make hurtful mistakes. God does none of these, and we struggle to wrap our brain around someone so unlike eveyrthing we’ve always known. Some inaccuracy or imprecision is inevitable.” ~Mateo Palos (excerpt from a comment on Cris’ blog: “Tough Question of the Day”)
