Attributes of God

@kellyjay said
God is good, righteous, just, holy, all-powerful, all-knowing, timeless without beginning or end, and unchanging.

We were made in His image, thoughts?

Consider this when a teacher gives a test and collects all of the students test answers, then will match the answers given by the students, and compare them to the answer key and give a grade.

If we miss the source of all truth and we conduct our opinions and order our lives missing the answer key for all truth our lives can only be less than. Getting the correct answers about God will alter all questions about anything as view them, and missing Him, or not correctly understanding the nature of God, will also color all things in a incorrect manner.

What if that teacher is Vishnu?

The point is getting a correct understanding of God, regardless of what we call ourselves if we miss the truth of God we miss the ability to correctly identify God.

Knowing the truth about God would dispel all wrong ideas and opinions, as well as everything else.

Exactly. What if 'your' understanding is incorrect?

That is the point of the question. If our views on God are wrong, it isn't just our thoughts about Him as a Being that are now wrong, but all that God has done, is doing, and will do will also get warped. It's an open question that applies to all, myself included.

We can but speculate - and share our personal perspectives - about supernatural things.

That too is a good reply, question, where is the answer found for this, inside of us
only or not? If not where do we look? Do you take the stance that we cannot know
for sure no matter what, which is a wide-reaching claim just as definitive as saying
this is where we can go to know?

Do you take the stance that we cannot know for sure

If one "knows for sure", what becomes of "faith"? Surely, talk of knowing for sure is a kind of hyperbole that actually just means that one's "faith" is very, very, very strong.

I said that was a good reply, I asked the question.
