Quote:Contradicts the rest of your post. If god is unknowable (which is what I assume you meant), then how do you know so much about it? And why are those people who disagree with you thus wrong?
We know about his actions ; and adjectives mainly. And throughout the Quran, it's a direct speech from god -calculated to the letter- which tells the reader of the book more about god.
He's not unkownable, rather than this description from the Quran :
"He catches the sights yet the sights cannot catch him".
Indication that seeing god will literally kill you from shock, your brain won't handle it. The story of moses in the Quran -when he asked god to show himself to him ; god told him "you won't see me but look at that mountain ; when the mountain rests you shall see me"-.
God appeared to the mountain -maybe in milliseconds or even less- ? he catches the sights, but the sights don't catch him. Moses didn't see god, but saw the mountain fall in mere seconds. Moses passed out.
Then realized what god meant. Moses's head won't handle looking at god. God is something else.
Does the mountain have a "sight" ? does it see ? pretty medieval to believe that. It's not that. It's was a simple appearance of god in front of the mountain -alone- that blasted it to the ground.
No contradictions at my end ^_^.
