Ontology of God--Theological Noncognitivist View
#34
RE: Ontology of God--Theological Noncognitivist View
Quote:No. The whole Universe and God is God.

What is the universe, and what is God? You have yet to define God yet you equate it with the universe.
"God is God"--no sir, that's not circular at all!

Quote:Again, the point is I don't know what he is: only what he isn't.


It was or also was St Thomas Rabbit: the Via Negativa is one of his 3 ways to understand God.

That is the point! You CANNOT know what God is. You also cannot know what God is not since you cannot observe him.

Also, if God is omnipotent, he could technically be whatever he wanted. As you say, though, if there are things God cannot be, then he is not omnipotent. It's funny you would give God both of these characteristics without even observing him.
