RE: Why Believe in God
Oh sorry, I didn't mean to imply that you were saying God has no form. I was trying to outline two differing perspectives.
I am also in no way saying that if an omnipotent being were to exist that we'd have any means of comprehending such a being. On the contrary, something which is infinite couldn't possibly be understood by creatures with finite cognitive capabilities.
My point was that emotions are imperfect and therefore any being which can be affected by emotions couldn't be considered perfect. Maybe we'll have to agree to disagree on this point?
No problem, glad to learn about and discuss different points of view. :)
Unless you consider the fact that, unlike what Vulcans may tell you, emotions are good and part of the Design. The Lord only gets angry after putting up with stuff a very long time.
God, who is perfect, can handle His emotions perfectly. His biggest emotion is LOVE. To say emotions are bad, I think, takes a little of the devine out of us. It is one of our purposes in life to learn to use our emotions to benefit others. Overcome the natural man and become more like God.
