I agree, of course God does not expect us to be able to see Him as He truly is. I also think that there is some element of truth in most conceptions of God, but I don't mistake that to mean that all conceptions are totally true.
I think there are a number of properties that God definitely has, and a number of properties that God definitely does not have.
In other words I believe that there is one true conception of God that exists, and many of us scratch the surface of what He is, and we do this in different ways, and God may relate to every individual in different ways, giving the appearance that He is perhaps subjective in some way, but really this is not the case.
I am still trying to figure out what it means to have a relationship with God, but I imagine to some extent it is like with any person, in that every person has many different sides to them, yet has for the most part a clearly defined personality. I do not act the same way with my father that I do with my little sister, or my girlfriend for instance. God is one certain way, but it is we who change the way God relates to us, based on where we are in our lives spiritually.  |
