@KellyJay saidIsn't it strange that "Scriptures" (which really just means "writings" ) on the one hand say that God is unknowable, and on the other hand go on to assert various attributes of God?
Do you know about the attributes of God who has given us a revelation of Himself through scripture, history, and fellowship?
@KellyJay saidSame here.
My first cause is uncaused, which is why He is the first cause; everything follows Him.

Everything you apply to an eternal deity I apply to an eternal universe.

@KellyJay saidWell, it's believed by 7 million followers of Jainism and an ongoing discussion among scientists:
