You said/stated/announced/claimed that God is all good. I agree that it has no bearing on my reality, only on your perception of reality.

I'm quite convinced I only entered this debate after you claimed that God is all good (post#20). Therefore it was you who wanted to label God with a human characteristic (although not strictly a characteristic exclusive to humans).
fr0d0 Wrote:4. I don't label with human characteristic. I show how reasoning helps to know God's nature.One of your first replies to me was on the topic of jealousy and you told me it is alright for God in the context of a loving carer. To me, this seems like you're applying human traits to God (jealousy, love, parent-like care).
fr0d0 Wrote:5. From my reasoning we can know this about God's nature. This isn't all there is to God.Yeah, I didn't assume "God is all good" to be the absolute peak of our knowlegde of his nature. I merely wanted to point out that you have limited God to only being capable of "good" things, before going on to claim that characterising God limits him which is illogical.
