Meditation for me is important though I do not do it as often now. Also I said that God doesn't deal in gray areas because there are none for Him. It's different with the limited mind of man and his limited time of living. Trying to understand an eternal, omniscient and omnipotent being will bring gray areas into the mind and life of those who try and understand Him. Our limitations ensure we will have these gray areas.

Thanks for your response, GC.  Regarding the part in bold and the statements following it, given the extremely advanced nature of your deity, how would you be able to differentiate between "existing without gray areas" and "existing with gray areas that are beyond human understanding"? Hence, is it possible that the perception of the Christian deity as "having no gray areas" may actually be indicative of the limitation of the human mind to comprehend actual gray areas that exist within such a highly advanced being?


  A being that is omniscient, omnipotent, omnipresent and eternal can't have gray areas, these attributes give God total knowledge of all things through all eternity. This is what man will have an impossible time understanding. So no I do not see a slight possibility that God would have or deal with gray areas. Thanks for asking reasonable questions.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
