Over the last couple of years I have been thinking about the nature of God. and jotting down my Ideas.

Hi, Namaste.

Welcome to the forum, Terry, we look forward to hearing your ideas; I think you are probably the only C of E person on the forum - not that that should matter to you; I used to be one myself - loosely. You might like to have a look at :-

Articles for New Members
Where you will find answers to most of the questions about the forum.
Enjoy!

Well here is my starting point. it gets very longwinded after this. But just add to this That I believe in Jesus. and you can see it might get complicated.
Limitlessness of God

 God has no limits.
 God is not bound by time.
 God has no limiting form.
 God makes himself known to men in the way that can be understood by them in their own time.
 God allows freewill in everything.
 God allows all his creation ‘nature’ to take its course.
 God allows error and sin.
 God allows Good and Evil
 God is not limited by any of his revelations.
 Nothing is beyond the power of God.

As God is not limed by our concept of time and space, he is both every where and in every time all the time.
God's revelations can never conflict.
Apparent contradictions are always because of man’s error or a lack in man’s understanding.


You can see this led to more questions than answers. I could post my thoughts so far but dont know where.

Does this include posting several pages of text? I don't want to bore the pants of anyone. But I would appreciate feedback.

With just a bit of 'tweaking', I basically agree with the statements in your above list - so you must be right !
