Originally posted by josephwSure, but you still have to know what those words mean when applied to God. But the claim is often made that God's justness is somehow different, such that we cannot simply assess God's actions as revealed in the Bible to see if they fit what any of us might understand by being just, or acting justly.
Why is what I'm trying to say so difficult for others to understand?
When I say, "God is just", is "God just" because I said so, or is "God just" because He said so?
When I say "God is eternal", is "God eternal" because I said so, or is "God eternal" because He said so?
I choose to believe that God is eternal or just or infinite, or that God is love ...[text shortened]...
Does anyone out there in spirituality forum land understand what I'm saying?
