So God is also sin and all the other bad stuff, including illogical and selfish? So he's not completely logical and selfish? |

Everything is an expression of the One, if you call it God then, of cause.

A God by any other name is still God, and everything is an expression of consciousness.
And frankly, in this case personification doesn't help. |

To quote Aziraphale from "Good Omens" he's ineffable. I have no direct experience.
BTW: for David Tenant fans and Good Omens fans there's going to be a 2nd season!!

I do not believe God is logical at all. It is this world that is 'logical'! This world is the 'work' or 'body' of God, and it is governed by laws, which in turn mean limitation. If God were 'logical' than we have put limitations on God.

So that's another vote for ineffable? Right? |

Ineffable is still a definition that is applied to God, so no. If God is beyond words/definitions then he's also beyond ineffable. As in "The Tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao." God being ineffable has made God effable, and when you define God you define how God exists in your reality and not God. |

Changed title to 'being' after reading your reply...did not cap it, since you did not 'person'.

I see your point. I'm understanding it as that even if God harms us humans he's only harming himself, God is the only being, there's no other being for God to be selfish with. Miss Hepburn also said: God " is The Self in all.", but only now i see it from this new perspective. But how can God and i be the same being.. i'm not controlling the universe. |
