What is gods fundamental nature?

[theophilus]

So on the one hand you claim we can't know what god is because we don't have the ability to describe it yet christianty claims to know what it wants.
A clear contradiction if ever I saw one.

We can't know God in the sense of understanding him completely but we can know some things about him.

The existence of life is evidence that there is a God. All the natural processes we see show us that there is a natural tendency for all thing to break down and to becomse less complex. The development of life would require just the opposite so it couldn't have happened unless there was a creator outside of nature. I don't believe that evolution is true but even if it were proven that wouldn't disprove the existence of God. Before evolution can occur there must first be some life to evolve.

Everyone has an innate sense of right and wrong which has been given by God. If you compare the different religions and philosophies you will see that they are generally in agreement on matters of rilght and wrong. There are some differences in the details of their beliefs. For example some groups believe that their moral standards apply only in their dealings within their own group and not to their treatment of outsiders. This explains such phenomena as why Muslim extremists feel it is good to kill infidels. They don't reject God's standards of right and wrong, they simply feel they don't apply here.

Finally God has revealed himself to us through the Bible. In another post I have pointed out that Biblical prophesy is being fulfilled today and this is evidence of the Bible's truth:

Perhaps our relationship with God could be compared to the relationship of a pet with its owner. The pet is aware of its owner's existence and can be taught what the owner wants it to do but it can never fully understand how the owner thinks or the reasons for what it does.
