[Serious] If I met Him...
#27
RE: If I met Him...
I disagree with your premise, but I agree these terms describe aspects of God that are of interest to us or understandable by us. Not only does communication require that you know your audience, but conceptual metaphors are embedded into our cognition. One idea is understood in terms of another, and abstractness in terms that are concrete. If God exists this is precisely how he should be describing himself to us.
