With that said, from my vantage point, the part in bold seems to be a product of faith and the human mind's attempt to make sense of a concept (the god concept in this case). Thus, given the limitations of the human mind's ability to gain a complete understanding of reality, how can you be sure that the sense-making processes and concepts in bold are in strict accordance with the facts of our reality? How would you be able to tell the difference between a deity who has no gray areas and a deity who possesses gray areas that are incapable of being perceived by the human brain?

I do not think you are trying to be difficult. As for thick, no, you ask reasonable questions and I suspect you are wanting truthful answers as I see them. Those things in bold do not have to be in accordance to our reality, they are part of who God is regardless. Even if man did not exist God would still be those things because He has been for all eternity. God being those things you put in bold would eliminate gray areas in His existence, it doesn't matter whether we perceive anything about Him. God tells us through His word that He is those things and since one of them is omniscience He can't have any gray areas. Because God has worked in my life in unmistakable ways I know He tells the truth about all things and so I trust that He wouldn't lie. God has said through His word He is nor a liar, He keeps all His promises.

 God did that very thing 2000 years ago, we call Him Jesus. He did experience life as a human, He did it without fault (sin). Jesus was aware of all things because He was in constant contact with the Father, Jesus said, I and the Father are one, because you have seen Me you have seen the Father. This said I do not believe that God would wish to have gray areas, it would be outside of who He is. Hope this answers your question.

There are plenty of grey areas with your God, too many to list in a single post, but don't worry GC, I'm here for the foreseeable future Big Grin

 You have a very large problem and that would be your lack of knowledge of God and those things that make Him who He is. you parrot things others have said because you have no desire to come to an understanding of God. Okay name just one gray area?

How do you know any god of any description exists at all?
