god is IT
"If God is omnipotent, he can choose to have any one of us know him, to understand at least some part of his entity and his intentions and thus to enable a real relationship to exist."
Modulous, this is just a different perspective you may relate to.
You speak of god as a 'him' which could give a wrong impression right from the start. What if god is an 'it'? What if god is an energy force that never changes. An energy that is in pure form and stands alone, meaning no counterpart or opposite?
The only one I can come up with is 'potentiality'.

Re: god is IT
What if it is the human who is forging the relationship with IT, and IT is being what the human thinks it is?

Re: god is IT
I think perhaps the human believes they know IT but ultimately it is just a belief. However, would that belief be true in the believers' life?
