Theology

But this mindset is hardly rational and, even, strikingly inconsistent with our ostensible assumptions about the nature of G*d. In terms of the nature of His being, Jehov@h is defined by three characteristics: omnipotence, omnipresence, and omniscience. These characteristics are all unmatched by anything that we are aware of within reality and are, therefore, incomprehensible. G*d is, by necessity of his divine nature, impossible to understand. Why is it, then, that we are surprised when the events that He oversees defy our concepts of what should and shouldn’t happen? If we really believed that G*d’s nature is so difficult and impossible, we should really be more surprised whenever we find his will intelligible than when we don’t.
