I do not understand people who say God is I definable, because to me, all I need to do is read the bible and the definition of God is on the pages. Johan asks why God has done the things He did for Israel, and man in general. The bible says God is Love. That is who He is and what
He does. Jesus is the express image of the Father, a physical definition of God! Isn’t that clear nough for you? Look at all the other names and attributes of God, they are the definition of God, who He is AND what He does!

Atheists believe there is no God, no higher being than us, but often based on misunderstanding of man’s place in the universe. The general idea behind their belief (or lack thereof) is that the idea of a god doesn’t succumb to human logic, or at least what we have come to understand about the universe. We are only human, we don’t have the brain capacity or means to ever understand all of existence, so how could we say that our idea of logic is universal? Regardless, we don’t have much information about God to try to fit him into some logical definition because he is undefinable. The Bible tells us no origin story, no reason behind his acts, other than He knows and we don’t, and I think that is divine.

I have traveled a lot – in primitive cultures, the existence of God (or gods) is not even questioned. Going back in time, electricity would be magic – God was simply part of the fabric of everyday existence – denying God was like denying an obvious reality. Does one seek to divine why the wind blows in a primitive society?

God was more real, was the explanation for the inexplicable, was simply there as ubiquitous as the sunrise. Today we are more separate from both one another and from God, unless we make an effort. In the past, God was in the societal fabric. Today the societal fabric seems to be primarily money and things, with the spiritual in the back of the bus and only set out on Sundays. Effort is required today in our society, more so than perhaps back then….

Fantastic summary! I am reminded of Isaiah 45: “Truly you are a god who hides himself–God of Israel, savior”

I love Rashi’s explanation to “I Shall Be As I Shall Be,” as meaning, “I shall be with them in this sorrow as I shall be with them in other sorrows.” What a beautiful picture of God’s passion and mercy toward man!

This is tremendous. It catches the meaning of Exodus 3:14 by quoting what it actually says: “I will be what I will be.”
So watch what I do. I will save.
